Mario is a better player than House and Portland snags him for vet min and we pay House 11m over 3 years. Forget the numbers House's sample size is small and despite benefitting from all the open looks he gets from Harden in our system his PER is 12 Mario's in a shitty Orlando team where he tries to create his own shot has a PER of 10. Mario's career 3pt % is 32% despite a down year of 27% last year. He has a large sample size of 288 games. House's numbers look good in limited minutes but he is not worth more than double the amount a former lottery pick like Mario is getting. Portland picked the player with the higher upside at minimal impact to their cap space.
Morey didn't like the way his last name is pronounced. Also, House has limited exp, yes, but in that limited exp, he has proven his worth (except for playoffs). Maybe with chemistry, he will be improved player in playoffs as well. I think it's a good signing.
Player option on 2nd year. Also, how is his defense? I like House's potential as a slasher on our team that provides some much needed athleticism. Also, should end up being the better 3 pt shooter of the 2.
Hezonja will be out of the league within 3 years and have never played a significant minute in his nba career.
character counts for something and house got a lot while mario is shaky at best. i'm fine with house and his contract. should have given it to him out of last season's MLE though
Is Mario Hezonja even friends with Harden? Because he needs to become friends with Harden if he wants to earn the right to be the 15th man on this squad. He should grow a beard to become friends with Harden. Then when he comes in in blow outs we can call him "Garbage Time Jesus". Okay. I went off the rails a little.
