Didn't read any of this thread. It's like deja vu. we've been needing this type of player since Robert Horry left! DM has certainly tried... unsuccessfully
His roster spot could've been reserved for someone that actually proved his value, like KENNETH FARIED. Bringing back Ryan Anderson is a decision made strictly from Daryl Morey's calculator. Its a horrible basketball decision The question is will Morey hold Ryan Anderson to the same standard he held Melo after the first 10 games
Great situational stretch big. I don't see how anybody can complain about this signing at the min. And it's not like ryno will whine and b**** if he doesn't get playing time like some past his prime big shot whose name shall remain melo I mean nameless.
Him and Melo aren't even in the same category. Melo was expecting a major role. Ryan is partially guaranteed... As far as Faried v. Anderson, I understand that argument, but they are valuing spacing for Russell over pick and roll, which I think is wise for the 4 spot. But, I'd make the argument that Faried would be a better 5 over Anderson, even with Russ on the court, if that's the role were looking at. Still, I think it's a great add for the price.
Sure , we got a guy Mike , Dan and Tony will play s a stretch 5 in small ball lineups …. We still need a 3/4 that can take some pressure off of Tucker to play 48 minutes a game.
First game of the season might be gut-check time for capeala since he going up against the mvp. The game against the bucks might be interesting because Bledsoe not weak too. Melo might be relieved to be retired because first game of rockets is facing "bucks".
Seemed to me that MDA turned TheManimal into an extended example of ‘load management’. Uh, where did KF sign???
I tend to wonder how much was expected of him. I doubt much; as in - if on roster any contributions would be house money.
Yeah, I thought it to be AT BEST a 50/50 proposition as to whether he would make the team, much less get much PT. "House" money, eh? : ) No, you're right. We still have a hole here that I'm sure DM will address...."SOON" !?!? LOL
