    Just have to hope last year was a sign of improvement because before that he was on worst rotation player in the NBA level with those horrid numbers.

    Nobody who likes this deal should be one of the people who gave holic crap about Rubio being a bad shooter.

    Morey is turning those non guarantees into a moveable asset.

    There were only a handful of players you could get and most wont be available with those non guarantees. So it was either let it go to waste for nothing or use it on an actual player who can be used as an asset later

    It's very valuable this season. There are some teams that are near the tax that are barely playoff teams.

    I would gladly (if I weren't a Rockets fan) trade Morey Teletovic, Monroe or Delly for this TPE.

    Not only that but the guy hits open shots. He's on a tradeable contract too.

    In my opinion I think Morey is banking on Melo being bought out and just trying to add depth now.

    I would hope Cleveland would be throwing in a pick or two for us taking him off their hands.

    Also, they definitely need to shave 3m in order to match a max for KCP if they desire. And this does that

    The Rockets have wanted him for several seasons so they can trot out a small ball line up.

    Truly awful.

    We are going to go into the season marginally better than last year.

    no big deal.
    He only has 2 years and his contract isn't very big. Detroit if they want they can easilly move him next summer.
    Also he's a wing NOT a center. Even if they suck, teams need wings. Very few in the market.

    You can't run a small lineup with him if he reverts back to being the player he was historically. He's such a bad shooter that rams have given him the Andre Roberson treatment at times

    I'm no Shump fan but this is grossly overdramatic

    you know what Thoreau said. "The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them."

    TPE not big enough for Monroe.
