Source: Markieff Morris is one step away from the Rockets

So I'm assuming his neck injury is nothing to be concerned with?

 

I like it. I’m guessing he will be healthy.

Allows Tucker to be one of my SF’s more often than he usually plays. Faried our small ball center predominantly.
I’m expecting Danuel House to be another SF by season’s end.

 

How much is he getting paid? We may not be able to afford him if he is asking more than 600k.

 

To be fair, CP3 did leave money on the table by not getting the 5th year.

 

Think I remember this guy hitting on a couple things insider wise. Friend of Donte Draper or whatever?

Anyway... Yes a healthy Markieff along with bringing back House truly pimps us out.

Capela/Tucker/Nene if size or big dick is needed
Tucker/Morris/Faried
Iman/House
Harden/Gordon/Green
Paul
Rivers

8 man playoff rotation of
Capela
Tucker
Morris
Shump

Rivers

with Green as a shooter.

 

Is Kieff the good one or the one we drafted?

 

They’re both very serviceable rotation players these days

 

Both are pretty good role player at this point in their careers, but Kieff in the one who was taken at #13 by the Suns.

 

two weeks from being two weeks away?

 

Kieff can function as both a four or a 5 in our system. A way better overall offensive player than Tucker but an inferior defensive player. I think Markieff is a better rebounder as well.


Thanks,

I want to believe.

 

Marcus is “good one” you are referring to. Much better shooter and defender. But I’ll take Kieff if he is healthy at this point. We need a serviceable big body at the 4.

 

Hmm...I mean this could still be true, couldnt it? Like we couldnt get an impact player so what was the point of him leaving money on the table right?

 

Is he willing to play for free?

 

kieff was considered the better one coming out of college. he plays inside more than marcus. But as the league shifted to alot more wing play, marcus settled in well the last few years. Kieff is the one the rockets would have more use for behind PJ instead of marcus with the way this team is built atm

 

Kieff is the better one, he use to be Phoenix's best player.

 

Yeah the nerve thing is a significant problem especially with how it was reinjured so quickly. He needs to show he can actually play before we use a spot on him.

 

Could have use for both and Mook is the healthy one. Let's not be kidding ourselves. But of course would take Kieff.

And Mook also developed a more physical style with Boston from when he was here.

 

with the abundance of perimeter players on the roster already not really much room for marcus, unless he enjoys being on the bench which he doesn't
