    right when he started talking about the rookies. We did get to hear "Montrezl is more ready now." but missed who he was being compared to.

    I only noticed Wex and Calvin Watkins live tweeting his responses. The only substantial tweet worth reading imo..
    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Morey said Lawson &amp; McHale talked at length today. Nothing definitive on Lawson starter or off the bench. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Rockets?src=hash">#Rockets</a></p>&mdash; Adam Wexler (@awexler) <a href="https://twitter.com/awexler/status/623253280567656449">July 20, 2015</a></blockquote>

    Q: What’d you think of Montrezl? Can you see him making an impact in the rotation this season?

    DM: (call breaking up) Montrezl is a little more ready to play (call breaks up)



    Translation: Dekker will not play. Montrizzle will get Dorsey minutes.

    2 things here:

    1. Morey was very specific that "on offense he's pretty much a perfrect fit".

    2. McHale had a conversation with TY about playing defense.



    Bottom line:

    Lawson is going to have to prove himself defensively to earn more minutes. McHale is simply not going to let guys play that don't commit on the defensive end. That's why McHale specified "on offense.....perfect fit....". Because Morey knows Lawson, up until this time, has been absolutely atrocious defensively.

    Morey and McHale want defense at the point of attack. That's why Lawson's role here could be as the backup playmaker to Harden. And why he MIGHT NOT even start. He's gonna have to prove he's gonna bring it defensively in order to get a solid 30 minutes a game here.

    lol Lawson has never made it to the WCF. He got drafted the year after Denver made the WCF.

    Surprised Morey didn't mention Josh Smith or that no one asked him about it

    He's on the radio right now. Will update...

    He's upset with the schedule but said it's pointless to complain. Also upset about the Dwight suspension. He said that the Rockets are going to meet with Lawson in a couple of days and that he's highly motivated for the season. Also mentioned that Dekker will be ready for training camp.
