I say we move KJ and a second for Swaggy P Harden/Bev/Ennis Gordon/Lou Ariza/Swaggy Anderson/Dekker or Harrell/ Capela/Nene with the rest of the bench filling in. We should wait to see who gets bought out, like Bogut for instance.
No way we are interested in Swaggy after we got Luo. I think morey is not interested in his character period.
Problem with not having to shoot/can't, wouldn't defense be more intense on the other players? Just leave Rubio open and dare him to shoot.
Sure you do, Ryno is ass he's only good when he's shooting hot. Capela is charmin soft and inconsistent. Ariza is ass he's only good when he's hot. Chandler>Ariza Gallo>Ryno Noel>Capela We aren't winning ish with our current frontcourt, 1st round exit and another wasted year of Harden.
On paper, MAYBE you could be right. But CHEMISTRY matters! Ask last year's team. Plus, none of those players have ever won SH*T yet, individually or together. So you don't give up a winning team for potential, unless it's in the offseason. Not with 20 something games left this season for sure.
Okay, wasted year of prime Harden under contract it is. This is not a "winning team", we got hot from the 3 point line earlier in the season and unless that happens during the playoffs (which isn't sustainable for 3 or 4 series) any team in the west not from OKC will beat us.
U honestly think Harden can develop enough chemistry with three new players in 20 games? The coach trust them enough in playoffs? u crazy
I feel what you are saying. I'm definitely NOT saying we are favorites to win it all. What I'm saying is that some semblance of the team that got this far this year has a right to see how far they can go, unless you are getting a bonafide superstar top 10 player to break up the TEAM. On paper your trade probably makes us better, but they may not gel in time for the playoffs. It would be a big risk, even if that trade could be made. I'm sure half the board would agree with you though and make the trades.
If all of those players are garbage then why would the other teams trade their good players for them?
Wow. Long lost brother? No I'm serious. Let me stop before they think I'm abs and you too. Lol. We aren't homers and realist so we are the same posters apprently.
Rubio. Lmao. Plz. I have stated this. And will say it again. Rubio is the last player the rockets will ever go for. Dude sucks at the three ball. The only position that can suck at the three ball in this offense is the 5.
I think trading Brewer and a late 1st rounder for Lou Williams might be a great idea but that would never happen. Hopefully we can trade Ennis for Beasley.
The trades you mentioned won't beat GSW either. Gallo is 10x more injury prone than Anderson, at least Anderson doesn't have any permanent knee injuries Gallo has had like 3 surgeries on his legs already so if you trade for him how do you know he will be healthy enough to play in the playoffs? We have a fast paced offense that requires people to run around the court at full speed and then slash into the paint to score. Noel is the same, he got injured before he came into the league. So your trade doesn't really improve our chances against GSW (Green>Noel, KD>Danilo, Klay>Chandler) and increases the injury risk. Yet somehow that's not wasting Harden's prime. LOL! Your alternative sucks even more than just staying put, esp. now that we have Williams.
KJ can try spotting up on his 3s though, and his athleticism can help him convert ala Brewer. Rubio sucks, he can't shoot 3s and he can't finish in the paint. He can defend but his defense isn't Kawhi level, it's just at Bev level. So he's basically Beverly without 3 pt shooting but with excellent playmaking, which makes him worse than Bev as Bev has been learning how to play make over the years through osmosis via Harden but Rubio still can't hit the broad side of the barn.
KJ is sorry and I can't wait for him to be traded. Don't get it twisted. I don't even know what a sturdy type is.
