williams is a goner I hope and probably will need to make a few more moves since hayes d mo and thabeet is not a lineup I am too excited about on the inside. get parsons on the d league team, and put flynn on IR if yao comes back.
Unless he learns to be aware of anything other than what is right in front of him...there is no more potential to be unlocked. I'm going to just start calling him HorseWithBlinders. HWB.
Morey is loading up on assets. These assets will help us land the Franchise player we are looking for or the Paint protector that we are in need of. All we need is a team to bite. We have enough quality players to ship out 3 or 4 and still have a good team. Just think if we were to trade, Scola, Flynn, Hill, Williams and Thabeet for A Center* we would still be considered a deep team Lowry/Dragic = B+ Martin/Lee = B+ Morris/Buddinger = B- Patterson/D-Mo/Hayes/Morris = B Center*/Yao/Hayes/D-Mo = B Not saying this is a Championship team, but it is a team that will compete at a high level
Scola and Flynn are the most likely "assets" to be traded. So are Hill and Williams. I think they will sign Hayes. Yao is not as certain.
Obvioulsy it will be Parsons to the D league unless he shows something real good. Then from there Thabeet seems like numero uno on that list of not so good players. Yao might not be resigned. Could be a mix of a trade deal, dleague, free agent signing, and not resigning others.
Yao is making the team some how, chinese ratings go through the roof if he plays 8 to 15 minutes a game, turning himself into a fouling machine respectfully. Les does not care if he gets back to the level he once was, he wants yao to just run up and down the court and take up the paint.
I want the Chuckwagon to stay in the roster no matter what, or maybe we sent Yao down to the D-legaue if need be.
Either Scola or Martin will be traded at some point I think. Hill and Thabeet will also be packaged for a center. I think Yao is re-signed at veterans minimum and Hayes is re-signed cheaply as well.
I'm as big a Rocket's fan as the next guy, but you can't be serious with those grades. Morris/Buddinger is a C at best. Our PF can't be anything more than a D, same for the center position. We're going to get eaten alive next season if this roster stays unchanged.
D-Mo will probably play half a season in Italy, and I think Yao most likely will sit another year out.
I disagree, Chuck Hayes defensive alone at the PF position is equal to a C grade. Add in the young and talented Patterson, a player who proved he can score and defend. You my friend, dont give your players enough credit. Chuck and Pat are very capable of holding down the PF position in the NBA. As for the SF position. Buddinger can score, he is not far from being able to score at an elite level. He showed flashed when he was given the oppurtunity with playing time. Patterson praised Morris of his ability to be able to guard the 3 with his good footwork. He also has a solid jumper and solid post game. You probably looked at our roster last year and said the same thing, but it didnt look like we got ate alive last year now did it?
FIFY. Also the reason why we're prioritizing 1. getting a superstar (A/A+), at any position; and 2. getting a center, because at this point anybody that is 6'11+ and has any coordination whatsoever is an upgrade.
