    Hardwood Paroxysm published a story on TJ a couple of days ago, and it's an awkward look at his terrible season (which just happens to coincide with the team's equally terrible season).

    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.

    He got hurt kicking a homeless man.

    Ironic that he might be homeless himself soon.

    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.

    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.

    Bobby Marks listing Terrence Jones ahead of Motiejunas. :eek::p

    [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.
