i dont think its possible guys. the rockets just cant offer a deal as sweet as bostons, especially if they get hayward. IT PG GH Horford and still have good pieces like avery bradley, olynk, and their young guys. he would be a fool to turn that down as they are all pretty young too. i hope a miracle happens but i wont hold my breath
I would still probably do it if it's Gordon, but only because I have faith that Morey can find bargain players who can contribute. Losing Capela would hurt like ****.....
yeah, he's a huge long shot at this point, I'm treating a PG to Houston trade like finding a 100 dollar bill on the street...an unexpected, pleasant surprise
Think about it again. Nene/Onuaku/Bogut Anderson/George part-time/minimum George/Ariza/Troy Williams Harden/Collison Paul/D-League That line up dwarfs the Warriors offensively. Can use the early part of the season to give young guys some burn. Later in the season some vets will break free. Can STILL consider Anderson and heavily protected 2020 pick for Melo. Can still consider Anderson for 2-3 equally mediocre pieces, to round out depth.
I don't mind losing Gordon because with CP3 and Harden on the roster and MDA's system, many role players are gonna be looking better here than they actually are Javale McGee was a scrub who turned into a decent rotation player in GS for example...I think we can do that sort of stuff here
So the Eric Gordon backbto Indyvthing actually makes some sense. He played at Indiana; his value is extremely high. Some teams just don't want to tank; I can see Indy being one. A little surprised Ariza is in demand. I still don't see any way Indy moves George without getting back some good draft picks in return.
That's an interesting comparison. I think tmac had better playmaking but Ingram is actually taller and is the better defensive potential. Tmac did kind of come out of nowhere when he went to Orlando. He went from having a breakout year with Toronto avg 14 ppg in his 3rd or 4th season to like 27 ppg in Orlando a year later with like 6-7 assist. I don't think Ingram is going to be that. Tmac was legitimately being compared to kobe as the best player in the game. But I do like Ingram and think he does have some similarities much more than KD.
Exactly. I love Gordon and Capela both(loved Beverly too), but George is an elite two way player and the fact is that is more valuable in wins and losses than a solid guy like Capela. Losing Capela stings, but if any GM in the league can find a FA to do much of what Capela does(but with less upside) it would be Morey. Plus you add Paul George to this roster, and all of a sudden guys like Vince Carter and Zach Randolph are playing for pennies just for the opportunity to fill out your roster - just like David West, Iggy, Bogut, etc.
If there is any shred of truth to this holly *** Paul Harden George Melo Capella That is a superior team or starting lineup even to the damn warriors
i wouldnt quite go that far since the rockets would not have a draymond level defender, but definitely puts them in that class.
IF this does happen Cp3 Harden PG13 Melo Capela Nene Anderson Vince carter Point guard? Losing Gordon wouldn't be that bad because I'm really high on Anderson as a 6th man he'd be one of the best and up for the award and could also run some weird lineups with him at the 5 For super space lineups. That team is as close as anyone will get to matching golden state and imo would put the series at 55/45 in Warriors favor but it could switch to us being 55/45. PG13 can guard KD harden is better than klay cp3 and curry are no separated by that much but I'll give the nod to curry but melo is light years ahead of green on offense and Capela/nene is much better than Zara/mcgee. Anderson Vince carter and vet point guard is a nice scoring bench with Anderson and Vince giving you the occasional 15+ points on any given night. He'll Anderson might avg that with all the wide open looks he would see.
CP3 has been NBA all-defense 1st team 6 years in a row. We would also have PG, who has been all-defense first team years ago, and was 2nd team last year.
He used to post here and post stuff that had already been posted elsewhere on social media as "insider" info. I'd love to be wrong, but taking that with a HUGE grain of salt.
