The sad, lonely, discouraging Terrence Jones season

He's gotta be hurt.

 

yep. He must have been hurt for the majority of his NBA career

 

Hes been hurt since 2014?

 

wait nevermind he has, damn man seems like this dude has the worst.

 

No, he's gotten significantly worse.

 

From the day when Hakeem left, all of our bigs seem to either (1) be plagued by injuries or (2) plain suck or (3) both, or (4) get traded/let walked.

Jones and Motiejunas are the latest of this trend.

 

He's been "hurt" since 2011 when he got in a car accident in college. It's the excuse for his entire career.

 

aggrevated quadriceps from kicking homeless dude in Portland.

 

Karma for randomly kicking a homeless dude i guess.

 

He got hurt kicking a homeless man.

Ironic that he might be homeless himself soon.

 

Hasn't been the same since Aldridge hazed him in the playoffs

 

There is nothing sad about it. T-Jones' NBA potential was always limited by his big problem between the ears and the smallness of the muscle beating in his chest. Many people here worked themselves into a lather talking about how "talented" he was, but he really isn't. Soft and shaky players usually fail.

I expected it would end like this when he was drafted and called him a Morey blunder from the very beginning.

 

Fixed

 

The rockets are lowering his value by not playing him. And will probably re-sign him next year for cheep

Michael Beasley's stretch of 9-consecutive games in double figures is longest for Rockets reserve since Carl Landry's 13-gm run in 09-10.

[rquoter]The Vertical guide to free agency: power forwards

6. Terrence Jones, Houston Rockets
FA age: 24 | Salary: $2.5 million
Insider info: Has missed significant time because of injuries in three of the past fours seasons. When healthy he is very effective. Shooting close to 40 percent from 3-point range this season. Houston has the right to match any offers.

8. Donatas Motiejunas, Houston Rockets
FA age: 25 | Salary: $2.3 million
Insider info: Back surgery in the off-season has limited his production. Sample of recent games has Motiejunas starting to resemble his pre-injury form. Can play the four and five and has the ability to stretch the floor. Restricted with the Rockets’ ability to match.[/rquoter]

 

He thought he could get more than 10M a year. At this rate, he is lucky if he gets an NBA contract.

 

I will never understand the Rockets' plan of acquiring Howard/Harden, and then completely ignoring the 4 spot during their entire tenure together.
