The Rockets just missed out on a cheap but great value DeMarre Carroll. He would have been great fit with the Rockets. I seriously don't like this Morey strategy waiting on marquee free agent only to miss out on crucial role players
This is basically my gripe with him as well. He’s confident he can build the team on the fly with left over scraps but it gets old. He gets held hostage by whatever star he’s chasing year after year. Hopefully it works out this summer and we get Butler but I’m not holding breath.
I think this is an Iguodala situation. Looney probably wants to stay with the Warriors buts wants more money so he's using the rockets as leverage. This works for the rockets too. If he comes to Houston, good, he can help us. If he doesn't come we raised his cost which only hurts the Warriors.
Dude will probably end up with the Warriors, he was going to sign with them few months ago if the Bulls were going to give him a buyout.
