    I’m predicting it now. The Rockets, as a team, will shoot far less 3s next season.

    MCW is probably the 8th worst player in the NBA.

    Don't overpay him. I was thinking about E. Payton rather than him. He might be okay with the vet minimum
    as a last resort.

    Because he averages a steal per 15 min, is a good passer, and has the length to play multiple positions?

    oh ...and he's got a history of success against Golden State.

    He's like game 7 Trevor Ariza without the defense.

    the vet minimum is 2 million dollars. I would give him 2$ at most.

    In Morey you trust. That's ok, but I don't.

    I love Elfrid Payton’s game. Not a shooter but a very smart and patient offensive player with length and quickness.

    We all make fun of MCW but he’s not terrible. I definitely think he just needs the right team and situation. And for a vet min deal, we could do a lot worst.


    He’s 6’6 with extremely long arms, so his defensive potential, especially on a switch friendly team like the Rockets, could be very valuable. He’s very good at ball pressure and helping weakside.


    He’s not a shooter but he can exploit the defense by driving and taking mismatches in the post. I remember he torched Bev a couple of years ago when he was on the Bulls.


    Personally, I think he’s game is in the mold Shaun Livingston. He would be a nice 4th guard for us that can actually guard SFs without giving up height.

    Yeah..., Id rather bring Tyler Anus back honestly. They both would have the same role of missing layups and sucking.

    Is this supposed to be Ariza’s replacement?
