Kenneth Faried to sign with Rockets

Predator 1 and Predator 2.

 

Will definitely be serviceable with the Harden pick and roll

For the vet min and with the current state of our roster, I can't complain. For sure worth a shot, he will at the VERY least hustle (unlike Chriss) while not fouling constantly (unlike Hartenstein) while being able to play more than 15 minutes (unlike Nene)

 

nene has a max of like 10-15 mins. and that's on a good day.

 

I like it.

 

No argument there. But IMO Faried gives us a high-motor, rebounding PF behind PJ that we've really needed.

We're still looking for the #2C.

 

TF must have just come into some cash

 

I kew it. My brother texted me..u was right. Been saying fariad for 4 years not a if but when. H3 is just a perfect morey guy. A younger nene n older montrezl

 

i don't think so. he won't see the floor as a 4 on this team. he doesn't fit that role at all.

just like how trez never did. he's the backup C

 

More I hear the more i like

Esp with him sticking when Capela comes back
Seems like he back up C and PF

Rocket River

 

True. I'm thinking of him as a situational player, similar to Montrezl.

Not the typical 5 we can throw out there when we're facing teams like New Orleans (when healthy), OKC (Adams) or Milwaukee that pound the crap out of us inside. When Capela sits we can't match up with those types of teams. He also seems like an "OK" rim protector at best. I'm still holding out for that really long, defensive front-court guy. PJ for example can box out a guy like Adams, yet still lose the rebounding battle. Just not long enough.

No complaints here though. Hopefully he can be clearance rack gem like Rivers.

Maybe once we finally dump Chriss we can try Caboclo in the emergency rim protector role.

 

FARIED WILL NOT PLAY THE 4

I typed that really slow because those who think he will play some PF cannot read fast.
In our system the only 'big' is at the 5. A versatile long face up shooter who can bang the big bodies is the dream 4. Until then its PJ and House (!) and Clark and whomever.

 

Yep, saw him at his casino late last night at the roulette table, put a wad of cash on black that he said he saved sending some dude down the G League that was starting and won....

 

He's complete garbage. Playoff teams don't cut even average players in the middle of the season.

Faried really wasn't even good when he was "good". Always a notoriously horrible defender.

 

Faried was on the Dream Team that won the 2014 FIBA World Cup Championship.



Hope we see World Cup Kenny return next week.

 

confirmation he's going to be a great fit here. thanks

 

Shame you don't like the real world. Faried was bad 4 years ago. He can't stay in a rotation for a reason.

 

i've seen enough! no more competition! just give us the trophy already!!

 

don't worry you'll be tagged in due time. you've provided great revisionist posts
