Rockets trade Michael Beasley to Bucks for Tyler Ennis

Garbage for garbage trade.

Nobody should be butt hurt over this. Beasley wouldn't be playing if he were still here.

 

Beasley isn't any good. I agree he's better than Ennis, but neither guy would be in our rotation. Beasley is terrible on defense, and is only OK on offense.

He took a flyer that Ennis would be a competent backup, and he was wrong. We "lost" the trade, but it's hard to say we actually lost much. Beasley was on the scrap heap when we found him, and nobody was beating down our door to get him in the offseason.

 

Bev is best served sitting not standing, atleast while he's not on the floor for us. I would definitely hope Morey never stands Pat.

 

We lost this trade...we traded something and got nothing! There was no reason to trade Beasley...Prigioni is better than Ennis! If a rash of injuries happen...much rather have Beasley on the bench than Ennis...that's all I'm saying! People saying it's break even trade don't make any sense!

 

The best thing about this team this year has been our chemistry and the way that everyone has bought into our style of play and fit with what we have wanted to do.

Beasley inefficient, and while sometimes hot but ultimately inconsistent mid and long range 2's and ballstopping tendencies made him not a good fit for our team. Sure, I wish we could have gotten something useful for him but there just wasn't very much market for him.

So yes, IMO he was worth nothing to the Rockets.

 

for the record. Prigioni is not in the league. No team picked him up. Dude is 39 years old.

And last year, he shot .295 from 3 (28 for 95) and .375 overall.

You guys are maybe being a wee bit too nostalgic for 2015 Prig. imo, we only brought him in to help teach Harden the new MDA offense. He was just a training camp player/coach. I'm willing to bet MDA asked to cut him among the choices, based on continued regression in his 3pt shot....he's under 30% for two years running.

 

He wasn't consistently bad or inefficient in a Rocket uniform

 

but at least pablo could make an inlet pass to the post with consistency... jus sayin...

 

He's not in the league. Saying Pablo is just what the cool-kids say in this thread.

Pablo is not relevant, since he is not a basketball player anymore.

 

I would've said Pablo could help us, and he probably can in a pinch. But it's not a joke, that if you can't hit 3s at a good rate, you cannot be in our guard rotation. Our offense is fueled by the quick offense and floor spacing from the 1-4 spot. You have to be a good shooter to play guard on this team, it's that simple..

 

The Life of Pablo

 

Tyler Ennis was not bad, he was just in a bad situation in Phoenix, which I still don't know WTF they are doing, and the Bucks were loaded, he had no play time there. And of course he was also not a fit here with the veterans taking all the minutes. I think he can play if he gets play time, and will develop into a solid rotational player. I wish him the best in L.A.

 

Can you judge this trade without knowing who the Rockets will sign with the additional cap space? Who knows, if Rockets would have kept Beasley, somehow they wouldn't have the same flexibility as they do now. Either way, whoever the Rockets sign will probably be better than Beasely, Ennis, KJ, etc

If Beasely or Ennis, KJ, and Brewer turn into Lou Williams (6th moty candidate) and a serviceable rotational big man, why complain? Michael Jordan could be on our team as a bench warmer but if he isn't going to play, it doesn't do the Rockets any good. Morey basically swapped two non rotational players, then traded one for cap space on time to make a championship run.

He and D'Antoni also planned to play Brewer the first half of the season perceiving people to believe that he must have value if he's seeing decent minutes on a winning team.

People are always going to find something negative to say. Let's face the facts. Brewer, Ennis (Beasely), and KJ have been non factors that netted the Rockets Lou Williams and someone else who will also help the Rockets. Be happy.

 

Yes, we can. Ennis makes more money than Beasley. The trade actually increased salary by almost an identical amount to what Ennis for Huertas returned back.

Had the trade never happened, we'd still have that addition caproom.

 

Actually when Gordon got hurt they had Brewer run SG and Harden, Bev, Gordon run point. Replace brewer for Beas and its the same concept. SG doesn't have to be small. Just need someone who can drive and shoot. Beas does this better than Ennis.

Also like other poster said, could have just kept Prig.

 

Another cool kid in the thread.

Prigs retired from basketball. He is not a basketball player anymore. Are we blaming Morey for ending Prig's career prematurely at age 39. Is that what we are doing?

 

Yes, OK cool, but you never know what else could have happened with Beasely still on this team not getting minutes he feels he deserves.

 

People forget. Players of veteran status such as Beasely have extra stuff negotiated in their contracts besides money (minutes, etc). A player like Ennis is much easier to deal with than a Beasely, and might have been worth whatever amount of extra money the Rockets had to spend. Ennis filled a need. He didn't cause any problems. The Rockets also did the Bucks a favor which could turn out to be beneficial down the road.

 

I was disappointed that Ennis couldn't bring anything to our team. I wish him good luck.

 

Beasley cant play point guard wtf how are we supposed to play him when Bev got hurt? We had backups at the 4 and 5 the issue was at 1 and 2 spots. Trading Beasley was worth getting a dtopgap backup pg until Bev healed up.
