The best case scenario is this ends up like the Jason Terry signing. I hated him with a passion when he became a rocket, and then he was tolerable on the team after a while. However, I doubt this Austin Rivers thing will be the same. Good lord, we live in a world where Austin freaking Rivers is a rocket. I knew we were desperate, but not this desperate
I'll say this, I've always hated this dude... but if this guy can drop 17-22 a game like hes done to the Rockets plenty of times! Then *** it... welcome to Houston. It's about the team and nothing else.
Rockets are trying just can’t get any takers from what I’ve read, even attaching a first rounder doesn’t do it for anyone.
Panic hire... Just like when CP3 was healthy... it would have been nothing to have had Harden play a few more of his minutes at pg and shuffle a few more minutes over to GG and House... but we stumbled outta the gate - and guys panicked...
Harden and CP3 just need guys that are about that life. There is currently no one on the roster that can create a shot. Austin Rivers can at least do that.
Have 0 expectations but have to imagine that CP3 approved move. Let him relieve Harden from some minutes while Knight gets his legs back and CP3 is our. When CP3 is back, if there’s animosity then just get rid of Rivers. Easy.
Morey pretty much only signs players nobody else would have. Even now the deal is being revised to send House and a draft pick to the Clippers.
