    Last yr was basically a rookie season for jones. All he has to do is work on his jumper and he's fine. He has a lot of tools in his bag and that's the great thing about him. I expect jones to be a 15ppg 10reb 2blk type of guy next to howard.

    So do you agree that he should have treated him like an asset so we could keep him for another year?

    So was your # 2 claim in your OP true or false

    Simple question

    Yes or No

    You're right, with our situation I really hope he does...but man...the form on that jumper is just weird. If he can hit it consistently (the games he did in are proof) Howard is hard to stop in the post and the rockets are a top team.

    You won't admit that you were actually thrilled we traded PPatt to create minutes for DMo

    You didn't actually say that? I have proof. Making your entire OP questionable on point #2

    You are weak sauce

    Too protective of criticism to your threads. Oh, I'm just going to put this HeyPee guy on ignore before he embarrasses my thread more. After you foolishly responded to me


    Lame

    DD. I like you as a person, but your posts still suck.

    Morey wants the best out of those positions and will bargain shop value to salary any day of the weak for those who aren't.

    If they pan out, then great, another asset to capitalize. If they don't, back to scouring the waivers and NBDL...

    I would take Malone and Stockton right NOW. Do you realize that Howard and Harden have only played ONE season together??? Get a grip man.

    No one is happy how this offseason turned out since expectations were approaching heavenly heights but all is not lost and the Rockets are far from finished tweaking with the roster. Perpetual doom and gloom never solves anything.

    In no way shape or form did OP ever say PPat was our best PF

    And further to that OP always hated Lowry, hence he mentioned Dragic is example #1 is his thread vs Lowry. Hell had he mentioned Dragic and Lowry instead of a PF, like we should have kept any PF, I wouldn't be in this thread

    He just needed three positions to make his point, and to make that point he went into the land if hypocrisy

    So lame

    If they were all about winning they would get a real head coach and take care of their players

    Les changed the rockets beautiful uniforms after we won two championships .
    What team does that ?
    I believe he thought they were cooler and would sell more.

    The next time, current style, was a blatantly red jersey because of all the Asian money Yao Ming brought.

    Another flag is how Barkley kept mentioning that les owes him money. And it wasn't that much .

    Don't like how les treats his coaches. Rudy t who has been a rockets lifer for 30 years goes to the lakers and then stays as Phil Jackson's scout ? What !

    You cannot choose owners. Unfortunately. If he isn't a racist or homophobe, you can't get rid of him.

    Leslie has never been a winner, FACT! He inherited championships and didn't do a single thing since then to put us in contention, FACT! Star chasing actually starts with him and of course Morey follows suit, because great players are great in statistics.

    Owner is supposed to be a guy who sits back, allows his GM to get the best players and roster, and pay up. That's what I meant with not putting us in contention. The roster itself is of course the GM.

    Ariza is a better player then Parsons. 2 reasons.. better 3 point shooter. Way better defender. if u cant see that we just upgraded our SF position at half the cost then u don't know basketball. Let parsons go. points are points, doesn't matter who is making them. But u cant teach someone to play elite defense. Ariza>Parsons!!

    Unfortunately, for every one of us analytical fans on CF, there a 1,000 casual Rockets fans who will pay to see Dwight receive some alley-oops and Harden draw some fouls. I agree with the sentiment that Les is a star-chaser. I wish we know of the actual proceedings and discussions that take place in the front office.

    We don't have a real playmaker, distributor. Parsons was decent at it.
    You need to pair him up with Ariza to make him the weapon that he is.
