You take two guys from NOLA who helped lead the team to 30 wins and put them on this team...two guys who can shoot, not known for being tough and healthy...and how do we expect that to work out for us? Who on this team is going to play D? Ariza and Bev? Who is going to rebound? Seriously, is our best rebounder now James Harden?
our new Rockets big 3 with guaranteed 4 years on both new FAs! Gordon, Harden, Anderson! What Morey always wanted!
These types of teams Morey arranges have been very fun to watch, but now we can't get Durant unless Les goes into Luxury Tax. Great.
I like this pick up a lot. I'm not worried about the injury issues. Everyone is healthy until thier not, and vice versa. But I am worried about team rebounding. That's definetly going to be an issue.
I think that everyone knows that getting Durant is not happening this year. That said, I think that it is silly to think that Les would not go into the luxury tax if it meant landing Durant.
What's the philosophy? We were terrible at defense last year so let's just see how terrible we can be? Before this offseason, I was mainly hoping for better shooting, another playmaker and improved defense and rebounding. Both Gordon and Anderson have had injury concerns but when healthy they will definitely help improve our shooting. Gordon, even though he isn't a PG, should be able to help with playmaking. I'm worried about both of their abilities to stay healthy and then of course I am even more worried about our defense and rebounding. I'm trying my best to be optimistic. It's hard to do but I'm trying. The one thing that I will say is that I really think that our team last year, from a talent perspective, was better than our 41-41 record. They looked disinterested and like they were only playing half effort for most of the season. So I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, that Dwight was the main reason for that discord. And losing him will be addition by subtraction. Even though I'm not all that excited about what we added, maybe it will be enough to return us to the same kind of effort and chemistry that we had from 2 seasons.
MDA is the coach... dmo-capela-onuaku ryno-beas-harrell harden-ariza-dekker gordon-brew-KJ bev-???-GP2 my guess is the last 9M will be spent on a PG... llull, seth curry, etc...
