    I dont understand the JJ Reddick thing here..... I'm a Duke fan and used to love JJ but bringing in any player who can't play against GS will just be a flawed plan...... it just wont work. Gerald was barely playable against them...

    yeah this is another thing that the rockets will take into consideration going into the offseason compared to last. Whats guys are actually, realistically now playable against GS as part of the core rotation. They believed this past season with all the pickups and moves done that each guy was for depth who would all be playable. Then we saw this just wasn't true when it came time. Tough situation because GS is basically the only team some of these guys can't play against. The only team that made Hou adjust to them rather than vice versa

    agreed...people in here talking about Reddick and making threads about Seth Curry...both will be liabilities against GS

    sign them and we’ll be right back to a 7 man rotation in next year’s WCF...I don’t give a damn if u can shoot, u better bring more to the table than that and be able to execute this switching scheme effectively

    I was with you up to that point …. Iso Joe aint worth the taxpayer MLE. Anyone I'm giving that to has be able to get on the court in the playoffs sometime besides garbage time.

    So … since Gordon is on the way out , I'm looking for a combo guard with that MLE , you can offer Iso Joe the veterans minimum.

    You forgot to resign GG - he probably takes the non bird minimum which is 120% of last years salary. I hope Luc falls into this category too.


    Any combo guards out there for $5.5m ??

    Assume he meant J.J. Redick, not Joe Johnson.

    I'm really starting to believe that this same team, replacing Black, Jackson and maybe iso Joe with MCW, Jeremi Grant and Zhou should be able to give us regular season run without learning so much on the vets.... we should be good....

    the rotation is gonna shrink in the playoffs.... it's not just us everyone does... if you think it's just Mike then go look at who played against us for GS.... not many and not many minutes either.....

    I think with ryno we either keep him or we do some turd swapping.... ei... we'll take your trash for our trash and see if it works better here

    he would be like another version of GG. but more of an established player.

    We haven't really heard much from him these past few months though. He could be living his best life after winning with GS, so who knows if basketball is much of a thing for him anymore.

    How has nick young not been signed?. He’s better then a decent majority of players on rosters including MCW.

    Nick young is a hot shooter not sure how he has not been picked up

    We don't have any roster spots right now and can't clear them without a significant financial cost until December 15th.

    Anyone out there that can give us a lift?

    Shabazz Muhammad & Quincy Acy are interesting.

    Acy was very good in Brooklyn and beloved by his teammates. As a backup energy PF, he could help.

    Honestly I was amazed that he wasn’t in the NBA when I looked it up. I’ve always loved his toughness, and he started knocking down threes the last few years.

    Drop MCW, scoop up Quincy Acy...
