Sources: Butler still Moreys MAIN target this summer/MDAs seat getting hot

Anthony Davis

Him and Harden would be unstoppable

But yes KD also.

 

sure. and as other teams continue to catch up to the rockets while they stay who they are, that "legacy" will transfer over to losing to other teams. early round exits are the theme

 

yeah i put him along with maybe kawhi/lebron in another post who would be the ones who realistically give this team a title shot

 

Anthony Davis would help Harden game so much especially on the pick and roll. With Davis being able to shoot that foul line jumper would be open all game and it would AD life easier playing next to harden he will get so many good looks

 

Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis

And a new Head Coach

Mike DAntoni needs to go

Clint Capela, Eric Gordon need to traded.

Clint Capela low skills, Eric Gordon being bad in Elimination Games.

I wish Chris Paul can be traded.

 

What coach are you going to replace him with? lol You are insane if you think there is a better man than him. This was a loss to perhaps the strongest team ever built. Chill out.

 

Nah, he's pretty replaceable.

7 man rotations don't cut it in the playoffs, all that shows is that the coach was paranoid and didn't know how to make adjustments.

Rests CP3 uselessly for 2 mins with 5 mins left to go in our season.
Throws Gerald Green in crucial minutes.
Never plays a rebounding specialist when we needed rebounds.

And he could not get urgency or desperation out of this team. Kerr got that out of his team.

 

There about to lose Reddick I’m sure, they do need shooting it does make sense.

If jimmy opps in then I think it’s a done deal to Hou.

Gordon and nene plus picks I think matches salary plus throw in the picks.

Saves Philadelphia money and they get a shot maker that can stretch the floor.

I love Gordon when he’s rolling we’re unbeatble but really he’s just a scorings roll
Player.

Jimmy is a true star.

Harden needs a real Allstar next to him.

It’s a damn shame that he’s won mvp multiple 50 win seasons and hc advantage but only been to the all star game with a teammate once.

Obviously cp3 isn’t going anywhere and tbh he was great tonight harden wasn’t bad either.

We just need more top end talent, we keep losing to the same team everyone loses to and we actually are competing with them.

But it is getting old.

I really do hope KD leaves because it’s just getting old watching that team keep winning. I respect what their doing they proved it tonight there great.

Besides harden and cp3 everyone is tradable even tucker. Although he’s the last person I want to see traded besides the big 2 but u have to give to get.

And let’s be real I love tuck but jimmy can hit a corner three and grab rebounds, plus do a lot more.

Clint’s gotta go tho looney of all ppl outplayed him. Harden could make nerlans Noel into a 15-12 guy. I get signing him he’s a great salary filler in trade and is productive enough to fool a team but he’s so bad against the only team we need to beat to win a championship.

Rockets will be the 2nd best team again next year if they bring everyone back, but it’s clear now it’s not good enough to beat the warriors with or without KD.

Harden needs and in his prime Allstar.

Cp3 while better than Dwight is the same. A past his prime superstar time to go to work Morey and Tillman trade everyone for a real star under 30.

And try and keep rivers.

 

Here’s hoping Mike’s done!

 

I think AD would actually love to play with Harden I just don’t see how griffin trades him to houston since we have no young piece to give them.

Maybe Gordon and tucker plus picks since it gives them cap relief after next year. Then trade Clint for some role players.

But I gotta imagine some other teams will have better packages but maybe not if kyrie does leave and The knicks strike out on all the FAs.

Knicks get the first pick and keeps Zion. Lakers are a mess and Celtics don’t want to get rid of Tatum if Irving bounces.

I mean we did just see PG13 get traded for Sabonis and olidipo both who’s stock was at an alltime low.

So who knows but Morey gotta get some top flight talent here. Harden only got 3 more years to get it done before he’s looking like cp3.

 

WE HAD NOBODY ELSE!!!!!

I told you repeatedly that NONE of Capela, Nene, or Faried would work against the Warriors and that we'r should have had Hartenstein in the primary rotation all season or signed Bruno!!!

MDA isn't responsible for any of that!!!!

Look elsewhere!

And start with Harden and Paul since they are chief influencers of Morey!!!

It took Harden years to figure out he needed another playmaker. We could have had an additional playmaker in the starting lineup years ago. And now it's taken Harden years to understand he needs a dual pick- and- pop/pick-and-roll threat at the 5.

There is a root problem here. They're is one area that Morey has to very better at. And that is communicating the truth to his superstar influencers and helping them to but into ther decisions that need to be made to win the championship. These nickel and dime transactions of pieces he has to try to pick up because he knows we need the skillsets but can't trade major pieces for it along with not trading for guys that will actually help us win but aren't necessarily in the Harden/Paul Admiration Society..... that needs to stop... and be replaced by hard and honest conversations with James and Chris on what this team needs to do to build a champion around them.

We need to move on!!

 

How exactly is the math for this working? Let’s say you manage to dump Gordon, Capela, and PJ Tucker for nothing but cap space. You owe Paul and Harden 76.6 million. You owe Nene 4.8 million. You owe Hartenstein and Clark 2.8 million. 5 empty roster spot cap holds equaling about 4 million.

That’s ~88.1 million you’ve got committed before you even start. The salary cap is 109 million. How are you signing Butler to a 20.9 million dollar contract? This is despite dumping all those other key cogs on your roster. Seems more than a little bit of a pipe dream.

 

You trailer-trash who think Eric Gordon gets you Jimmy Butler are truly embarrassing. Butler has played himself into regard as a top-10 two-way player in the league, Kawhi-light.

 

oh boy another off season.

 

Butler would have to opt-in to his final year the way Chris Paul did. We're not trying to sign anybody as a free agent, outside of our MLE money. It will have to be done through trades.

 

Any coach that plays more than 8 players

 

Butler would be nice, but is there any chance we can get Anthony Davis here? Probably not, but I can dream.

 

MDA has too loose of a grip on the players and on adjusting the gameplan throughout the course of a game. Deeper rounds in the playoffs he has a tendency to get outcoached and out philosophied in embarrassing fashion and to the point where you don't want him as a head coach. We are generally wasting years of great players while he is coaching with a laissez faire attitude.

 

You guys getting trolled …. This is not happening.

Sign and trade …. hard cap ? With what assets ?!

Opt in / trade … yeah right.

Cap space … nope.

Send them CP3 ? …. funny.

 

There isn't another star walking thru that door. There is no money and nothing to trade. I don't know who the hell will want to watch Harden and Paul ISO everysingle play and walk the ball up the floor either. I'm so disappointed in every person within the Rockets org.
