Why don't Rockets players trust the Rockets organization?

It's not always the Rockets

I remember couple of years ago, Raptors had TJ Ford as Starting PG, then he get back spasms so Calderon replaced him as the starter. TJ Ford was b****ing too.

Then last year, Calderon got injured, so they replaced him with Jarret Jack and Calderon was b****ing during an interview

 

Brooks losing his starting job is the coach's decision. And Adelman has been AB's biggest supporter, hasn't he?

 

No, what I wrote is that him losing his starting job is the coach's decision.

 

Do you see Battier whining? He wants a contract, but he is not whining. You play your best.. then worry about contract.

 

AB gets paid 2 million dollars to play basketball. He refused to play basketball last night and he got suspended.

I don't see how you can defend a player for being so childish and hurtful towards his team. If he wants his money then he'll earn it with good smart team first play.

 

Brooks isn't McGrady. I'll repeat that just in case anyone's confused after your post... AB ain't Tracy. AB didn't lose his starting job because he was injured. He lost it because Lowry played well while Brooks was out, and out played him after he came back. Yes, Kyle played better than AB post-injury. Most players step up their games during a contract year. In fact, they often play "over their heads," leaving some GM to give them a contract larger than they deserve. Not only did Brooks not step up his game, he regressed. He pouted and it pains me to say it. That's something my kids did when they were young and didn't get their way. Aaron is a grown man being paid millions to do what he'd be doing for fun, were he not good enough to play at this level. If there's any drama, it's of AB's making, not the organization, in my opinion, and I like the guy.

 

Why don't the players trust the organization?! Do you, I don't? Do you realize how long it has been since the championship years? In sixteen years they have made it past the first round ONCE. I can't remember how many times we have missed the playoffs all together, but it is about to be two years running. I have some degree of confidence in Morey, but that is fading.

 

This is free market. Best players survive no matter what.

Mac was never ready to be back on the floor. And Rockets did match offers for Lowry and Scola.. gave them good extention. This franchise has been backing Yao even after all the injuries.

 

there is a lack of trust because the team is sucking.

TMac was definitely like this.

AB's situation isn't even clear at this moment. let's wait until we hear something back, shall we?

 

The Rockets didn't extend Scola or Lowry. Did that affect their play?

 

Lowry and Scola didn't get a contract extension last season. Battier didn't get a contract extension, nor didn Adelman or the rest of the coaching staff.

How come Brooks is struggling as his contract expires?

 

It's simple. No organization would like to let a good player go away. If he plays good, there is no way he won't get extension. If he does stupid mistakes just to show he needs be given contract, there is no way he will get any.

 

Sample size of two and the argument is using not the most mental strong players either. Morey has a set policy and takes care of his guys when time comes.

 

AB has never been suspended before. On the day of the Super Bowl, AB gets suspended, before a team flight to Denver. hmmmm...

He isn't the first guard to ditch the Rockets for the Super Bowl.

 

Aaron Brooks =/= Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili

If Aaron Brooks was on the same level as either of them, I could see the Rockets giving him a contract extension. But that just isn't the case.

 

I wonder if Morey would still uphold that no negotiating an extension policy before the season is up if he had a true superstar that was about to become a free agent. (and please don't mention Ron Artest as an example)

 

Superstars are hard to get, you don't wanna lose them at any cost.

I don't mind Morey waiting till trade deadline before giving extension. Expiring contracts are important for trades. Battier will get his before end of season unless he gets traded. Same with Brooks, if he does not get traded and starts playing better.

 

WHo has morey taken care of? He matched landry and lowry, and he had to pay scola.

I think it is the exact opposite.
