(Woj Pod) Rockets' GM Daryl Morey on NBA trade market: 'We sit nothing out'

We sit nothing out except anything that would cost Tillman his Luxury Tax Profit.

 

Stop, please. $15,000,000 to Trevor Ariza was just not going to happen.

 

Neither is anyone getting more than the minimum wage.

 

Lol imagine us paying ariza 15 per and still being trash

 

last year we went the entire season and playoffs (see games 6 & 7) without a backup point guard to spell our guard trio during injuries. so morey then this offseason, defying all possible logic, goes out and wastes a roster spot and $1.2M guaranteed on fukin MCW. wishing he woulda just sat this nothing out

 

Well then DO SOMETHING DARYL!

 

Consummate Butler trade then bring back Bzdelik. Do what needs doing to get both these things done.

 

The Expensive Contract paid to Chris Paul, he knew the consequences not paying possibly Ariza, Moute, Capela.
Capela is the only one of the 3 I would keep. 3 Max Contracts are allowed to every team.
Golden State with 4 Max Contracts, they love paying the luxury tax which equals paying the League Office and Referees.

 

What are we - the 5th highest payroll in the league? Yet folks still wanna b**** n moan about Ariza and Luc...

We got 5 guys making 13M to max money... that equates to your starting lineup... (unfortunately Knight is one of those contracts - the cost of Ryno's bad contract - 'in morey we trust' right...) lol
Our next guy is making 8M... call that 6th man money...
Then we got a couple more guys making 3M+ - that rounds out your base rotation money... (unfortunately Chriss and Nene arent making contributions...)

I've read this board b****in for years about wanting a superstar, then needing another star cause Harden cant do it all himself, then needing a big 3....

Want stars? Minimum contracts is the offset, folks... be thankful we got guys like GG and Melo on those cut rate deals...

I've also been hearing for years about how "scrubs" like PBev, Trez, Lou, etc are 'a dime a dozen' and easily replaceable....

"Oh Tilman is so cheap he didn't give Ariza 15M..." - again, 5th highest payroll in the league...

People that were crying for stars need to stop b****in about min contracts - and the players attached to them...

and people wanna give up more pieces to get Butler... lol... yeh, another injury or 2 and maybe MCW can crack the starting rotation... lmao! wouldnt this board jus lose their sh*t if that happened... MCW 30 mins a night! "Oh we wouldn't give up multiple rotation players - Wolves have no leverage - they gotta deal Butler..." yep, heard that one when we were trying to trade for Melo to pay him 23M/yr - you know the guy on the min contract that folks are b****in about... lol

the short sightedness jus cracks me up...

...jus sayin...lol

 

Trevor Ariza and Luc Moute might have declined even more who knows. With Jeff Bzdelik Gone I think this might've happened anyway. The Rockets lost to the Pelicans last year also their Guards and Forwards were driving shooting, Etwaun Moore went off that game too at NO.
I honestly hope Gary Clark gets rotation minutes, James Ennis figures it out.
The Celtics lost to the Magic at home, the Lakers lost at home to the Spurs, When the Refs were helping the Lakers not calling a out of bounds.

 

We might laugh at this but it is serious bizness.

 

Good thing about Brandin Knight is, nobody can blame him while he is being out and injury prone.
