Such much butthurt. I get why folks are angry, but really, it's understandable. Look at all this money some of these random role players are getting. Not coming over now, when the Rockets can only offer Llull the MLE is a smart move for him financially and his current situation in Spain really isn't too bad.

This makes the draft look so effed up. I thought Morey had a plan but what he really had was a dream. Sucks, sucks, sucks but at least we have a shot at KJ and can lock up Montrez
As we saw from last offseason FA, the front office is apt to take chances. Obviously this was one of those; to bet on Llull and draft BPA. one thing I am certain of, this was only play A. Aldrige is likely part of that plan. But as the dominoes fall other options will come to light.
Upset over a oversees guard that has not not played a single minute in the NBA thinking he would come in and make an impact right away in the NBA playoffs. The point guard position of all the spots?? Really? Lulz. We are not a rebuilding team. We need players that can produce immediately especially at the guard position. Remember. Sergio, no matter how much foreign experience he has had under his belt, was still a gamble. Yes, I was hoping he could come over to see what he was capable of, but he was never a sure thing.
His team just won everything there is to win in one season. This was the perfect time for him to come. He's never coming.
