SAS: This brother Montez Harrell(out of Louisville) is the closet thing to Dennis Rodman in the NBA

    :( The system we have is costing us to lose very good players because morey or D’Antoni don’t like their fit in our system. Everytime I see Harrell he’s making an impact in the floor. He had the best per 36 last season for any big off the bench and continues to get better. We’re still searching for a reputable back center for Capela, and even though I’m impressed more and more by Hartenstein everytime I see him play, Harrell could’ve really helped us. Same thing with Covington. He could’ve been our Ariza replacement. We let him walk for free.

    just because he works for them doesnt mean he would work for us. different systems bring out different potentials in players.

    And I still think the idea that he didn’t play well with us is hilarious...

    Having said that he couldn’t have done what Paul did in the playoffs just hated losing him

    I thought he worked pretty well as a 5 in D'Antoni's system.

    The "L" is silent but shouldn't be excluded. Put some repeck on Montrezl's name.

    No no no. I would do that trade twice in a Sunday if I had to all over again. I’m just annoyed because he never really got a chance here in Houston. D’Antoni doesn’t develop young prospects( specifically bigs) and don’t bring ion Anare. D’Antoni has a type he like and if you aren’t that type he doesn’t play you or isn’t interested.

    Besides Pat(which was the main piece for CP3 and needed to get it done), because of my love of his style of play, Montrezl was the only piece I thought didnt need to be added and still hated that we did.

    Look I ran out of characters in the title so sacrifices had to be made. I meant no disrespect

    Okay now I kind of agree with what you’re saying. Mike is a great coach with HIS guys.. but I do think what separates coaches like pop from d’antoni is pop can adapt to his personnel.... the personnel have to adapt to mike

    He never got the consistent opportunities. I really think he could’ve gave us what Tucker give us if we tried to developed him more. Instead we just get older and slower

    Exactly. Trez would be perfect for us, and Morey knew it and didn't want to give him up.

    The type MDA and Morey like are superstars and hardworking shooters. Seeing as we brought the Warriors to their knees with less talent than them, I'm going to side with MDA and Morey on this one lol.

    They were essentials parts of the title and the title wouldn’t work without. It would’ve been grammatically improper. I’m not proud of what I did there to his name but I had to do what I had to do. Sacrifices had to be made.
