What's up with the hesitation shots by Courtney Lee?

So you think he smells interesting?

 

I don't think he's going to play enough to ever really get into a rhythm, especially if Brooks starts playing better and getting more minutes. Currently Lee's barely getting 15 minutes a game.

I agree. I'd like to see him get more minutes and get his confidence up, hopefully that will put an end to him second guessing himself. Last night he could have had a monster dunk but got fouled taking a layup instead.

He definitely has the skills to be a starter, once he gets more confident and aggressive he's gonna be lethal

 

CL is just a microcosm of the greater issues that befall the Rockets. Namely, too much hesitation and passiveness or playing wildly erratic (not within themselves). There is a lack of team confidence or even swagger that rears its ugly head many times during a game.

 

A trade to the Bulls is always available.

 

Just another embarrassment of a trade done by Morey with egg on his face. Courtney adds no wins or minutes to team Lee. Ariza on Western conference playoff team with potential to go far in playoffs. You see where this is going? Another opposite direction trade or non trade Morey did or didnt do. Two teams involved? Rockets lose out again somehow.

 

I read somewhere that the Rockets either asked or would ask for Gibson or Asik and a #1.

 

Does Asik have the potential to be a quality center? I haven't seen enough from him...

 

I think he does, dude has a nice wingspan and can, at the very worst, be a legit defender but it would take time. Decent offensive game but nowhere near ready to depend on it. He would be a project but someone that could payoff as early as late next season.

 

Or if we worked a 3-team trade the Clippers might want Deng at SF and could send us Kaman as well.

 

Asik and their Bobcats pick for Courtney Lee! Sometimes teams give up more than their fair share of value for the chance to win right now (see Rudy Gay for Shane Battier). The Bulls really need a 2 guard, like Lee a whole lot, and don't have many options right now. I would be thrilled if we could pull this off.

 

Lets include him in a package for Luol Deng and/or Taj Gibson.

 

Luol Deng has a terrible contract so that won't happen. Gibson would be nice but it would just contribute to the PF logjam.

That is why I am thinking we would probably have to add another team into the mix.
