Morey's Top Player Acquisition Targets/Changing my signature

Maybe because Noel has more bust potential. He is a potential Thabeet, but hopefully becomes a Mutombo.

 

He said picking 4-8, as in draft picks. I think he meant we'd be bad.

 

Oh. My mistake then. Thanks for the clarification.

 

Well I guess you could scratch Ibaka off that list...

 

Let me start a thread about it.

 

Jopatmc, this is a criticism post. Your other posts are usually good but this is lacking quality but you keep bumping it.

The thing is, all you've done is list very good to excellent players who could be available and given them your own ranking with a lot of words. As I see it, most people would follow this ranking. How is this an innovative or new idea? Any team would love to have Chris Paul or Cousins or next year's highest draft picks...

Ibaka was never a serious option - OKC was always going to extend him; the Rockets are not the only brainy organization.

In short: yeah, duh.

Please don't be too offended - it's to give you perspective

 

Morey's #1 target: Does it really ****ing matter because it's not going to happen.

 

Should we go after Yi Jianlian?

 

He and darko are signing with real madrid.

 

Wish we get Favors instead of Big AL

 

I think that Morey is watching Kevin Love, DeMarcus Cousins and Andrew Bynum in that order.

It will be interesting to see how Love is feeling if Minny struggles out of the gate and up to the trade deadline. Same thing in regards to how Sactown will feel about Cousins if they continue to lose and he acts up.

Bynum will play for whomever will pay him so PHI has the inside track big time, but maybe something happens there to mess up that relationship.

 

No way in hell is Morey not interested in the 2nd best center in the league.

 

Haven't seen much of Favors. What's he like? Utah has all those frontcourt players. You'd have to think they would want to trade out for some balance.

And what about Kanter? I know nothing about him either.

 

My post wasn't really about the content but the manner; I probably shouldn't have responded in the first place. But since it's started:

My list is very similar. Currently the impact players we are looking to get all have contract obligations. The Rockets are in the most unfortunate position that we have to wait for player-organization relationships and contract statuses to change to have a chance at anyone. So the ranking is just your measure of which player-team relation is 'weakest' from the Rockets' perspective. In that sense, the list is fine but that doesn't mean that it is realistic. All it tries to show is who the Rockets will give an iPad to (those that pass Morey's scouting criteria also, ergo not Bynum), whether the player/team will even seriously consider the Rockets or not.

I share your point about Harden, which is exactly my point; the knowledgeable clutchfan already knows this ranking, maybe with some tweaks here and there. The Rockets' preferred type of player has become transparent to the fan and the league in the last few years. Beggars can't be choosers and that makes it easy to come up with your ranking.

Again: my problem is not with the ranking or the player but with the implication that most Clutchfans don't already know this. I shouldn't have brought up this silly issue, and will let it go now.

 

This isn't Morey's list, this is yours. You're not even providing evidence, just saying "Morey likes him," with no regard or insight into his strategy or planning.

Calling these "morey's top acquisition targets" is a pathetic attempt to lend credibility or grandeur to your mediocre posts.
