When will we see a Garrison Mathews extension?

Morey would've gave him 80 million

 

Mathews thinks the Fertittas are generous!

 

Yes, he knows what "type" of player he is.

HE'S GARRY FRIGGIN' BIRD!

 

Doubt it, rockets had Harden at the time, they were desperate for a role player like house. We are in no rush to payout for role players like Mathews, we aren't contending

 

Super biased... I was just all Biggs... Bags would def be on a 2nd tier

 

What's funny is he had a massive impact at Lipscomb which is a D1 school.

They improved hugely in offense, defense and were not the same when he left. He got shut down by North Carolina in the tournament, which probably affected his draft stock. But he looks like a hidden gem that GMs slept on by his history.

Getting a rotation player at this contract is an absolute steal!

 

$1m isn't slight. He's getting paid double the vet min.

 

On his contract deal

 

I feel like we really lowballed this dude but whatever better than being unemployed

guess they think he will move down the rotation when other guys come back but I think his spacing is what makes the first unit work, him and Gordon’s

 

This dude, Tate, Sengun…the all hustle all heart team. Love the young nucleus of hard nosed hustle players. I don’t know if we have a franchise guy but I enjoy watching these guys play

 

Oh not saying here, he was an UFA, he could probably have gotten a piece of the MLE somewhere with more guaranteed.

DD

 

Like he gave House amirite?

Or Ariza?

 

You mean a starter.

When Mathews 3ball is on, it's been a win.

 

44% brother.

Wood is the Mathews whisperer.

 

If Matthews would have been here with Paul and Harden the Rockets would have never gone 0-27 and they would have added one more championship. There I said it....

 

Post of the yesterday.

 

Lu Dort kind of deal, amazing for us.

Garrison seems to appreciate it too since he was going to give up on basketball before he got to play for us.

 

Reason why it has to be perfect when constellations align.

Sometimes you just stomach the fact that you have the stars and not the role players, and now you have the role players and not the superstar.

 

Its unfortunate, Harden is possibly the biggest choker in NBA history but he is still in my opinion an absolute great point guard. Which is exactly what Rockets need right now. Its quite impressive what this team has accomplished this season already without a point guard but with Harden I think they could be in the running for a title in just a couple of years. Harden and Sengun would be unstoppable...
