Morey -- acquire an actual center like Marc Gasol or Enes Kanter !!

He's really showing his value against us today

 

I still think we need a backup big guy. What if Capela gets injured again or is in foul trouble.

 

Thon is not a game changer. His rebounding is very poor.

 

He sounds crazy but dude has a point in going after Gasol if you’re Morey.
Y’all remember when Morey was going after Brook Lopez but was eventually dealt to LA?
Gasol is a better player and defender along with a bruiser. His contract is easily movable at the end of the season and coulda easily be used against teams like Utah, OKC, LA, & POR. Yea he may not be the best option against GS but he can help you get there.

 

Certainly, but can Thon be that option? He does bring some spacing and shot blocking, but I don't think the Rockets should give up a 1st rounder for him, simply because he doesn't play well enough for his height and length.

 

Whatever big, or undersized big for that matter in which Morey wants has to at the very least meet a certain criteria. That criteria is having the capability to switch.. Someone who can switch has to have the ability to guard guards to some degree as that is an inevitable occurrence. A Enes Kanter and a Marc Gasol do not fit the Morey criteria, they can not switch like that on the defensive end.

Thats the cold hard truth, deal with it.

Morey doesn't want them

 

This such a silly and out of touch post.

you want a real center like Enes fcking Kanter. gtfo.

You're clearly not paying attention to Gasol, either.

 

I think if we were to get Gasol, he would bring toughness, rebounding, and some scoring too. But we have to be strategic about Gasol on the court. Pick and pops should do the trick. Most of all having him would make me feel like we could have a possible match for Boogie Cousin.

 

That true, Gasol on Cousins works but GS would ISO TF outta him with Curry and KD.

 

none of these guys are worth giving up a 1st rd pick tbh.

 

Or....you look down the bench and see Mr. J.Green.

He would be a difference maker on both sides...and a younger Trevor Ariza. EVERYONE is calling for him now, more than Marc and the most over-paid guard in NBA history.

Don't forget Boston. Guys want out. BeanDip .


#DecreaseTheDrop

 

Oh cool, I just asked you what's out on the streets in the Thon thread. Is Angie gonna trade with Morey? That's a tough one for me. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Memphis traded JaMychael, but they could retain him too, if he plays strongly down the stretch. I'm interested in knowing if Vonleh, Prince or Bullock are likely to be moved. I know Prince's name is out there quite often, and there is interest in Vonleh too.

Faried is playing well as a backup center. Vonleh would be a good 4.

 

Vonleh is in a lot of chatter, but I don't hear much from the Rockets' side. He's a 4 who cannot shoot. We already have tweeners who cannot shoot (Hi, Ennis)

Prince is available, but ATL is asking for A LOT. They think his value is high, but that team is done. Rebuilding. Plumlee is a target, and Vince is already seeking a way out/buy-out according to his agent. (I only know that because I know VC's team)

The only mention of ATL moves related to Houston is Justin Anderson. He's a tough guy on defense and Morey knows we need some stoppers. That would be an easy switch, but again, nothing imminent.

All I keep hearing from many Ears is that Morey is prepared to bring in difference makers to #decreasethedrop and I've heard a ton of chatter related to Boston, Miami (again...Ellington and JJ), Grizz (Green (please!) and Temple) and Charlotte( Martian, Willy Lamb.) Charlotte will make a big trade if a team takes Bismack or Batum off their books.

Personally, if Morey could find a third team, I'd take a look at Batum. Injured yes, but they guy can still play. Park has told "my friend" that Vets are bored...waiting for a trade to a contender. Yes, #Freebirds.


If Morey makes a move with 4 picks and fillers for an all-star, I'm not surprised. This is the window.

But, again I stand by the guys I mentioned from the beginning and in my sig, it's about #decreasingthedrop and going in for the kill when the playoffs come. We just need a little depth, another version of SweetLou, and we'll be right there.

Also, Melo is going to push to LA, with a little help from his (Friend). And, don't be surprised if LeBron pushes the youngins out to bring in some tested talent.

#Wildcard mention to me: Rumor of the Rox sending all those picks to Wash, with fillers (expiring) for Beal. I'm only mentioning the text. But if true, that takes us over the top IMO.


*Again, sharing what is shared with me. Respect to Cyber for his intel.

This supports what @CHI heard too about WAS offering Beal/Wall (packaged w/Ariza) to HOU.

Thanks Cod!!
