Source: Markieff Morris is one step away from the Rockets

Rivers probably getting benched. Faried only backup C minutes. Mark probably plays 25 behind Tucker. Tucker moves to the 3 more often.

 

I have a feeling Rivers will be out...

 

Coach isn’t going 9 deep

Tucker is so versatile he would perfect to fill in all the gaps off the beach

Gordon, Tucker & Faried => great bench

 

I updated the current rosters on 2k19 and added Morris . Started Shump at sf . I had trouble finding Green minutes . Rockets are stacked with good talent if they got A healthy Morris !

 

Precisely. I'd like to see Morris on the court when Faried is on the court. Marry up their minutes if we can - gives that extra bit of height to compensate Capela being off the court.

Also, there is no guarantee that everyone will be fit and healthy down the stretch...... best to 'get stacked' where possible.
If House is smart enough to sign his deal, I doubt he plays at all unless there are injuries...

 

This is a very long step....

 

I think MDA will play 10 if it's a blowout .

He also might do what he did last year ... which is change his 8/9 th man every so often.

There were times last year when Luc/ Ryan played over green . And times when MDA gave green the first opportunity.

I think if we try to get everyone in the rotation at least 15 mpg then it will be hard . But Morris can get 20 min some nights and maybe 10 on another .

There is room for us to really limit CP3 , Gordon , and James' minutes if we are playing rivers , shumpert , and green at the guard spots . (1, 2 , 3)

PJ and Morris at the 4 and Clint and farried at the 5 .

 

Rivers won't be benched, but his minutes will definitely be cut. Probably down to 15 or less.

Green is an abysmal defensive player. I really wish he wasn't because he really helps on offense and he's very easy to root for, but he makes a ton of assignment and rotation errors. Getting him and Ennis out of the rotation and possibly replacing them with Morris and Shumpert would be a substantial upgrade in defensive cohesion.

 

If Morris was signed, I’d imagine that Green becomes the 10th man.

 

Dantoni was playing 9 and 10 man rotations the last quarter of last season until people started getting hurt.

he was playing Green, Luc, gordon, NeNe, Anderson, Black and Johnson off the bench.

 

Not sure how many b-to-backs we have left, but Rivers will get minutes then. I think we'll also have to ease Morris back into a rotation to get his legs and lungs ready for the play-offs. Green will become a specialist, when we need shooting, he will appear and likely with better defenders around him.

MDA will have some nice players to use depending on the opponent and situation. This is looking like a pretty good team if we get everyone healthy and running before the play-offs.

 

This. Green is getting more minutes because we're shorthanded right now. If Morris is healthy and signs with Houston Green would be at the bottom of the depth chart.

 

I know it's halfway through a great game and it may have me a little carried away, but this team, with Kieff and good health, would put on a blood bath against the Warriors

 

Yeah, Green lost his job last year and he'd probably lose it again this year. He's such a bad defender. But probably he and Rivers would alternate being isolated at the end of the bench for small stretches.

 

I'd hate to see both Rivers and Green out if they are playing well. When they are hitting their shots, they definitely should be playing. It's just they're both so damn streaky. They'll go a few weeks bricking everything. Can't have that in the PO.

 

Injuries and opponent are also factors.

 

Yeah no since in getting hyped till his name is on the dotted line.

House already showed he jell with this team..
