Yeah, I'm stunned. Hope Williams game is not affected by reduced USG and decreased mid-range game. I know it hurt Ty Lawson. I feel Lou will do better than Ty. Lawson couldn't hit that FT line distance shot that he hit in Denver.
Priority number one has to be a defensive minded big man who can rebound. Kyle O'Quinn seems to be the most logical idea
Holy hell, Morey was able to replace easily the weakest link on the roster with a player who's absolutely perfect for Moreyball, and he only had to give up what's basically a high 2nd round pick? Freaking insane.
This move wouldn't be a splash, but if Morey can't find anything else, this move would help us this year and not hurt long term. We do this straight up with no picks either way because we need another PF and the Pels need more guards. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hf48rhv Dude shoots 38.8% 3 pointers on 3 shots a game. Harden/Bev Gordon/Williams Ariza/Dekker Anderson/Cunningham Capela/Nene/Harrell Get's rid of dead weight in KJ, plus gives the kid a chance in NO. And gives MDA another rotation player when we need size and shooting.
IF Morey and the Bucks did this, I would sh*t my pants laughing so damn hard. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zwd3o7m
Would any Rockets fans want Taj Gibson? The Bulls will probably lose him for nothing if they don't make a trade by the deadline. We could offer: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zw5wgxg Harden/Bev Gordon/Williams Ariza/Dekker Anderson/Gibson Capela/Nene/Harrell Would still have B. Brown on the team too. Could then pick up some buyouts at the deadline or guys from overseas to fill out the roster. Would Morey be willing to give up on Onuaku and Wiljer for a rental of Gibson? Probably not. Remember when many thought that Clint, Dekker and Harrell would all be busts? But you could take those two out and add in Harrell to make it work if you were inclined to go that way.
Blockbuster bb Rockets out: Anderson, Ariza, Capela, KJ Rockets in: W. Chandler, Gallo, Noel Nuggets out: Chandler, Gallo Nuggets in: Anderson, Ariza 76ers out: Noel 76ers in: Capela, KJ Let's compete bb Harden/Lou Bev/Gordon Chandler/Dekker Gallo/Trez Noel/Nene
If all else fails, let's bring home the ice cream scoop man: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=gqladzf Harden/Bev Gordon/Williams Ariza/Dekker Anderson/SCOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Capela/Nene/Harrell Get 'ER DONE MURRAY!
I hear you man, but you DON'T trade out 3/5 of your starting lineup when you are 40-18 unless you are getting LeBron, KD and Westbrook to team up with Harden.
Williams has already proven effective this season. Lawson had a full offseason to dedicate to regressing
If I did that, I definitely wouldn't give them ANY picks. They are getting youth on value contracts in exchange for nothing cause that is what they will lose him for.
hey i don't blame you man, i too never thought Morey would give up a first. but like you said, Hopefully it works out for us to enjoy our Rockets.
True. I'm hoping they can be different. Lawson had outside interference. Both had the ball in their hands a great deal on bad teams prior to coming to Houston. Lawson with Denver & Lou Williams with piss poor Lakers.
