Well he's right you know, Olajuwon couldn't do it without the ability of Max, Kenny, Sam & Horry to create.
I think Dmo will have as much value if not more in the future as Gordon Heyward and Chandler Parsons so...why is it not reasonable for him to get a max.
Lowry and Conley would be the best fits at PG, but neither seem attainable. Lawson isn't as good as either, but would still be an overall upgrade and is apparently trying to force his way out. With all the good PGs in the league today, I trust Morey to shore up the position by training camp. His offseason shopping list is much less ambitious this year than last.
I was thinking something along the lines in the draft of either drafting a point or only Devin Booker. The problem with DB is that his stocks rising. If Harden does continue to play point, then add a dead eye shooter at the PG/SG position. Defense will clearly have to be accommodated for, but the offensive fire power will really be taking a boost.
Wow you don't say... man this makes us look stupid. Of course you need help at guard I could have told you that after the Portland series last year. Why even talk to Morey everyone in the world already knows this. Are these two guys just now realizing this...
Teams have won the title with a bad NBA but they could almost always shoot open 3's. (See Derrick Fisher, although technically a backup - Steve Kerr, Kenny Smith, Old Jason Kidd, Mario Chalmers) These were all pretty mediocre to meh PG's in comparison to their competition, but what did they all have in common that contributed to a title.... you guessed it. The sad thing is, Terry kind of fits that mold. However he only shot 35% from 3 in the playoffs this year, and just wasn't getting enough open looks to have an opportunity to kill the other teams. The team also had many other deficiencies that led to them not advancing in the finals such as on the defensive end, and on the glass. I'm not saying the Rockets should rely on Terry next year because they shouldn't, but I am saying that the Rockets technically could have won it all this year with him as their PG if he was shooting what he's capable of, and they win a split in the first two games, and win it in seven. Easier said than done, but they were still somewhat close.
Yes. Max is % of cap but once a contract signed the amount of $ remains the same even if the cap jumps up. So i.e a rookiemax of 16 this summer will be the equivalent of 10mil per in two years.
One question on Lawson is his 3 pt shooting. All right, here's the list: Kyle Lowry Ty Lawson Patrick Beverley Terry Rozier Ramon Sessions Brandon Knight Jameer Nelson [Sergio Lull] Mario Chalmers Avery Bradley Jarrett Jack George Hill Rajon Rondo Mo Williams Patty Mills JJ Barea Steve Blake Aaron Brooks Kirk Hinrich Sounds like we need to get Bev back.
Or hire an offensive coordinator. Take the ball out of Harden's hands. Let DMo initiate the offense at the high post. Have everybody including Harden moving and cutting.
It's probably time to move on from the whole Llull infatuation. I doubt he will ever touch down in HOU!! would be nice but he is happy and content as is
