[Doug Christie] Shumpert "has ability to take Rockets to another level"

He doesn't need to finish at the basket he just needs to defend and shoot open 3s which he is already doing at 37% before playing in this offense and with James Harden. His addition will definitely be gake changing and since he probably wont make more than 10M per year next year theres a chance Rox can keep him long term too.

 

Crazy.. we got better and our cap situation was relieved some.

That hair is gone baby gone.

 

Wonder why Tinman doesn't come out and start making fun of House only fans.

 

We've had a hole in our defense ever since we've lost Ariza. Shump may be good enough to fill that hole.

Fill that hole and what do we get? Last year's defense.

Will that put our team on another level? Aw hell yeah!

 

Adding Shumpert without losing a rotation piece will matter. Hell, as mediocre as Ennis has been, even adding an Ennis clone would help our depth. I think Shumpert is likely to be better than Ennis. We can at least stop being small at the SG position now and can move Harden to the 3 full time, where I think he's more suited and better for his long term career too.

For a salary dump, you could do much much worse. Usually you don't get anything useful in return. At least we got a good player.

 

when a team have so much hope on a player with FG% below 40, you know there is more than just one problem in that team.

 

Definitely makes our roster better.

 

ughhhh

 

i'm just here for teyana sitting courtside.

 

he is a *very* streaky shooter who's had some horrible seasons shooting. i remember GS just leaving him wide open and letting him brick all nite

 

Look, what matters the most to Tillman is staying under the LT, that's the reality. Hit F5 as much as you want, but don't expect a "game changer" player being traded to Rockets this time.

I for one am looking forward to another guy in Shumpert, along with Tucker to lead this teams defense. If Shumpert's defense is as good as everyone is saying it is, I'm looking forward to it.

How many games have we lost this season not because of our lack of offense, but because of our lack of effort on defense?

I will continue to preach that this team desperately needs length.

 

lol this thread title and the slurping narrative

 

Dude you make so many negative posts about the Rockets. Didn't notice this about you in years past. Why don't you just try to enjoy the team. Remember when you were wishing for Mark Freaking Cuban to be the owner? Try to enjoy reality.

 

so who's his backup now?? And who are we going to if he struggles?

 

House, Rivers Green?
