Sources: Nick Young was offered for a 2nd rounder: Morey denied

JR Smith has the full benefit of Lebron James by his side. He's just fortunate enough to be playing next him. He may be a little more controlled now but JR Smith overall is still the same player. People just want to view him as different just bc of their championship run

 

JR changed his defence. He always had the tools but never the mindset. If he hadn't changed that and was still the same as in the past Lebron or not Lebron he would still be one way streaky player.
Shumpert hasn't changed next to Lebron for example.

Also even at his worst JR was still more talented than Young.

 

The Rockets definitely need more depth. If we judge by how he plays now it would be nice to have him. But I'm not sure if this change is because of Walton or he has matured as a player.

 

It was over the summer and the cap would have been tight already. However I would have sacrificed Ennis IMMEDIATELY

 

He has probably matured cause he's basically in his contract year.

 

Cyberx, can you confirm?:

And your point is?? Everyone turns the ball over, and Leonard strips plenty of people

 

That would have been a very interesting team. I would have loved to have seen what they could have done with Bosh and Allen.

People complaining about Morey need to step back and realize he's always in the mix for substantially upgrading the Rockets roster.

 

Perhaps, but that really cuts into KJs minutes.

It makes more sense to bring in a PG that can manage the offense when Harden sits than a pure scorer like Young.

 

The point is I don't think the Spurs would trade for Ben McLemore and "turn him into a star" as suggested in post #98.

 

Can't stand him...takes so many stupid shots.

 

A poorman's jr smith but still better than brew

 

I was disappointed when Marcus Thorton was sent off so I probably wouldn't have mind if Young was on this team.

 

Are you new to basketball, or are you just completely blind? Because SA turns average players into very productive role players - like Danny Green, Jonathan Simmons, Nikola Milutinov, Aron Baynes, Tiago Splitter, Marco Bellineli, Gary Neal......... do I need to go on?

McLemore has ALL the tools to thrive in San Antonio's system. Don't disregard the fact that Sactown is an absolute dumpster fire either... could possibly contribute to his Brewer-esque play.

 

And nick young would have the full benefit of playing with James Harden. Leadership isn't the same but playing with Harden certainly has LeBron like benefits.

 

You need cyberx to confirm what ray Allen himself said?

Do you need cyberx to confirm that trump won?

 

I'd take nick young over Brewer and dekker any day

 

Each of these players were either draft picks (Milutinov, Splitter) or free agent signings. I still don't think the Spurs would *trade* for McLemore.
