Orlando GM: Gary Harris > Dinwiddie Every other GM: Pass on Dinwiddie I guess Brooklyn is going to pay Dinwiddie and go into heavy tax.... right?
Srsly thought was going to be about those godawful T-Wolves unis. They're not quite Miami Heat bad, but that's a pretty low bar.
LOL ... All I am saying is we don’t have a stacked line up and Kelly is rotation player, something I can’t say about a lot of players on our team.
I thought the Oladipo trade would’ve looked better if the Rockets re-routed Olynk or Bradley. I would’ve thought they could pick up a 2nd or so for each. It’d be nice to have a competent backup for Wood, but that seems like a luxury, Maybe an overpay with a team option, and see if you can recover some value next year.
it's crystal clear that we are in a rebuilding mode, so far so good, as long as we could keep our L momentum!
So far the trades are good, except when players make trade demands to one or two teams and ruin the open market trade value. No FO can make a good trade when there are no competitors involved. Look at Wood, Tate, Martin acquisitions. Wilson is not a bad prospect either.
I was thinking the same, but as D-rock pointed out, Wood was a Morey target, and I am wondering how many of these other guys were Morey guys that they just copied their homework from.
Honestly believe Rockets should upgrade the 2 way contracts, seen enough of the Lamb and Patton experiment.
I'm ready for KPJ to do his thing, however, I'm afraid that with Wood and him playing well together we may win too many games and screw up the tank. In any case, I really do like some of the young players we have and the mix of vets. Vets like Olynyk and Augustin seem to already blend well with the young guys. I'm enjoying seeing Tate and KMJ play. I don't know about Wilson yet, I want to see what he can do with consistent minutes, but at least the effort appears to be good. I'm having a really hard time with Wall. He seems to be in that Dwight Howard zone of not being able to adjust his game to where he is with his career. He doesn't need to shoot so much and if he would just scale that back and work harder at being the facilitator then maybe he can regain some of his value. Of course the counterpoint is that his atrocious shooting and tough time finishing drives can keep the tank rolling on. We'll have a lot of decisions to make on current guys on the roster, so I'd love to keep getting minutes for those folks. I'm leaning to resigning Sterling Brown if its reasonable, he's just a nice and versatile young vet.
If Wall is unwilling to play SG when Porter is on floor with him then shut him down. He is already scheduled for surgery so let's not prolong that. But it would be foolish to ask Porter-Wood, or any of our players to purposefully tank. You cannot unring that bell in the future. You cannot just turn off bad habits and losing mentality like a light switch.
