The irony is that the Rockets had Covington in 2013 for FREE

what were last week's lottery numbers, captain hindsight?

 

KD was out last year and the Rockets still couldn't beat them as discussed ad nauseum on this site. And the rockets missed all those three's the previous year. Even with an awesome 5 those warriors were vulnerable. Which all brings us to the other question about Morey Ball-Does the style of play work? Will it bring a championship? That is what these moves are made for and what the players play for. That is the end goal. The chip or nothing. period.

 

Roco is more like Ariza. It didn't work out the first time, but he's a better fit now.

 

If you look at his history of transactions the quality of players and draft picks traded away is astounding. Not to mention his history of poor draft picks with the exception of Clint. That’s why clint was special in that he was a player within the morey era that was developed, emerged, played consistently and re-signed. No other draft picks in moreys tenure has done that. Moreys legacy Is polarizing and complex but in the end it will be defined by a championship considering the great costs that have been paid.

 

He was pretty good defensively back then

 

Off topic but this story is BS. Jordan was on JV as a sophomore because he wasn’t tall yet. If I remember correctly MJ averaged 40+ a game the year his coach “cut” him. He was not on varsity because the coach was big dumb. I read this in “Playing for Keeps” by David Halberstam.

 

what were robert covington's 2014-15 summer league stats?

here I'll save you the trouble: https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/s.../Averages/All/points/All/desc/2/Summer_League

the odds of predicting he'd be a top 3-and-D guy were similar to winning the lottery
