SAS: MDA is the problem Max Kellerman: get rid of CP3 Shannon: Capela, CP, Harden and MDA are all problems Skipbayless: bring in ty lue
It's funny to see these overreactions. The Rockets are doing what they do every single year. They're looking at every option, making anything available, but they're not having a fire sale. If they don't improve for next season, they're not making deals. I wonder who leaked out that the Rockets were aggressively shopping... other GMs or the Rockets? On one hand, it could've been Morey since it's a way to get teams to come to you with offers. On the other hand, it projects need or desperation and I wonder if they want that out there. Teams use Woj and others religiously though to get their messages out there. It's a chess game.
We've seen the Rockets try to start bidding wars before. Wouldn't surprise me if they put it out there just so 29 other teams could *keep them in mind* as they work out their FA plans and trade possibilities as we get close to the draft. Like you said, gets more GMs to come to them with deals.
If that's true dumb move IMO. It's one thing to put out there that a role player is up on the trade block like Capela or Gordon but another to say a player of CP3 caliber is up for trade. Just causing unnecessary drama smh
Steven A all season long: Harden's numbers are higher than normal because of MDA's system. Everyones numbers go up with MDA. also Steven A Steven A: MDA is the reason Chris Pauls numbers have dropped.
To me the Rockets remind me of the Raptors of Last Year. Owner replaces and gets a New GM Masai Ujiri Dwyane Casey replaced by Nick Nurse Demarr Derozan replaced by Kawhi Leonard Jonas Valaciunas replaced by Marc Gasol Serge Ibaka added Fred VanVleet drafted Jeremy Lin added Can the Rockets replace and upgrade Chris Paul, Clint Capela, Mike Dantoni Is it Daryl Morey fault, for this mess, over analytical, not enough NBA knowledge, never playing in the league.
