Ringer: What is going on with the Rockets this summer?

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE(S)!

 

meh, could care less about what a bunch of Warriors dick riders think

 

So y'all would have rather kept Ariza and LMAM over CP3?

Everyone is overreacting to losing a couple of older guys that fit what we did well. Both were under extremely cap friendly deals that were outweighed by their production. You guys expected that to last forever?

Just like JJ Redick last offseason, Ariza went after the money and so did LMAM... what's wrong with that?

What's even crazier is that free agency isn't even over, sh**, we're merely 3 games into the SL. Y'all need to relax and let these dudes ****** work.

 

Everyone is using the Trump tweet method these days. Just tweet some provocative ish.

 

You fools, Morey is allocating all of his resources to signing Foster Mauer Brothers.

 

You know the funny thing is that if the Rockets had literally done what the Warriors have done, there would be questions around Cousins as a malcontent and the pieces lost as valuable pieces to a championship.

 

Sigh, Gamble on old players as well.

 

Did the Warriors lose a starter?

 

No one was going to bay area before they started winning. I mean Dwight picked us over the bay. NY hasn't got anyone in forever. PG rejected LA. When is the last time chicago has got a FA.

 

dwayne wade lol

 

Daryl Morey is taking calculated risks. Often times the greatest risk is letting guys go when the simpletons are all shouting to the heavens to re-sign them.

 

True @Know Your Role, Rockets as of late meaning past 5 years have arguably gotten the top free agents out there for any team for each individual summer. D12, Cp3, Eric Gordon just off the top of my head, not to mention guys like Luc Mbah a moute and PJ Tucker for very reasonable deals.

 

The Warriors brought in Jerry West and other very smart people and turned it around. West always could get the best guys. Chicago is a bigger market and not hated by East and West Coast fans like Texas is, the Bulls will also always be popular because of his Airness. I'm not caught up on PG but I'm assuming they just didn't offer him enough or he didn't want to join another team that won't be able to beat the Warriors.

 

Yeah i remember, I should clarify. There are free agents like D12, EG and there are FREE AGENTS like Lebron James. I'm talking top 10 players. D12 was not in that category, neither was EG.

 

These shows never take into account the whole picture they just look at everything from the outside - I mean are people really expecting to pay Ariza 15m for a year? I can maybe see some head scratching on LRMM but he was MIA when we needed him the most. I really don't think Murray lets these guys walk without a plan - There will be 2 parts to consider this off season a fail, first we don't get anyone significant or helpful by the start of the season and second we don't improve at the trade deadline. If those 2 boxes get checked then I will gladly say we failed this season.

 

If I was playing in this era I would chase all the money I could get because in reality, who's really going to beat the warriors?

 

I guess I just don't understand why it seems the Rockets get passed over by a lot of top tier free agents. I don't think it's the Rockets management anymore, I don't think it's the city or people, so what's these guys deal? We're so close. CP3 and Harden are both first ballot HOF with more than enough left to win. And they get passed up for Lonzo Ball and Rondo lol? Morey could of cleared room for him. Doesn't make sense to me for Lebron to go to an unsure situation over a potential dynasty.

 

Phone conversation this morning:

Tilman: "Hey, Daryl, I've been trying to get you all week. What's going on over there?"

Murray: "Can't talk now, Boss. I've been super busy with my new musical. Don't worry, though, I'll be ready when free agent signing begins on August 1."
