Sources: Rockets looking for a scorer off the bench

I'm not a fan of Young on or off the court

 

Brandon jennings

 

I wonder what les wants the most a cash cow or another NBA title?

How many games under 500 do we need to be at All Star break before we make a coaching change or major player trade or both.

Does anybody think they will blow up the team if we are 10 games under 500 by then?

 

I would rather see Brewer traded for an expiring deal, any expiring deal (or two) will do.

 

Problem with the bench unit is that other than Thornton those guys can't create their own. Martin, Lou can do that...Young just chucks up shots. So I wouldn't mind that.

Honestly this team needs Ryan Anderson. He's a scorer and a big so fills both needs. Jrue is not the future at PG for the Pelicans, maybe Lawson could work out there for them along with some vets like Jones, Brewer...

 

This. He never bothered to learn (or re-learn if you believe he did it in OKC) how to run off screens for open shots. He doesn't cut. When he plays "off the ball" he stands at the 3 pt line. Of course we'll lose games if your best player is watching the team play 4 v 4.

Forget the Dwight Howard training with Hakeem sh_t. Harden needs to spend next summer with Rip Hamilton. Let me emphasize - we don't need to turn him INTO Rip... We need him to be ABLE to play AT TIMES off the ball, like Rip. Because if the choice is 1) He dribbles the air out of the ball for 20 seconds or 2) He watches at the 3 pt line as Beverly tries to create... We aren't winning anything while he's here.

 

He doesn't have so much value.

 

Yes you are right but it SUCKS big time.

 

This is so overblown.

'Player X would go back to his hometown' is right up there with 'Player X wants to play with his buddy.'

Seriously, a large portion of NBA players do not even live in the city for which they play.

 

If we get Anderson we would have to get rid of Tj, something I'm all for. Lawson in theory would be good with Davis as Davis actually likes setting picks.

 

Isn't he injured? Any idea when he'll be back?

 

he said 80% chance he will play in dleague this week.
Pistons have denied that they are involved in any trade talks involving him publicly.

AND brew doesn't even have 1/5th of the value of Jennings with one leg right now.

Also why hte fck I know all this about jennings I don't know.

 

Was it stupid when the Rockets traded Moses Malone?

 

You kind of need an actual offensive system and multiple playmakers to be able to do all that. The Warriors were running the same isolation plays as us before Kerr took over.

And you're greatly exaggerating the amount of times Harden dribbles out the shot clock. That only happens in late game/clock scenarios.

 

we'd be lucky to get rid of brewer for nothing
negative trade value

 

Your signature is totally taken of context and it's use shows a lack of character on your part. Other than that thanks for the info on Brandon Jennings, lol.

 

I'll take your word for it on Williams. Hadn't heard anything from what I've seen but i don't really follow the Raptors that closely.

I'm sure Young is a peach in the locker room, but I just find it funny, ironic, or whatever that the issues we see now with the Rockets really tie back to character, weak mentality, & effort issues, and the answer is.... more big characters on and off the court??

I'd like to see some stabilizing veterans but that's just me. Maybe I'm wrong about Young but he just never struck me as that type of veteran.

 

Last year he was not as bad on defense as he is this year - at least at the start of the year, at the end he was trending this way.

You can't be a TRUE MVP candidate and play so little defense.

Harden is the problem he is the leader the team is following his lead.

This is what happens when they don't like how he is leading.

Thornton is a hometown boy. He still lives in Baton Rouge with his mother.

Next?

 

This statement is true but you forget that the year before his defense was worse than it is now and we won 50+ games. It's not harden he is who he's always been and that's what we are trying to get through to you guys.
