Goran Dragic's numbers as a starter (potential stud?)

trade Lowry now his stock is high, start Dragic and let Flynn back him up

Trade budinger and c. lee, start morris and let parsons back him

Trade J. Hill for anything

Start Thabeet and let Dalembert back him up

 

LOL this is why you're still a rookie.

 

lol nah, i'm a rookie cos i cussed out DD couple of times

And believe me, i have been on this website for a while, just kept over-using my freedom of speech. Getting banned and getting a new name each time

When i feel like becoming a member again, I will create a new username, drop some free knowledge and move up to member.
This current squad have nothing good going on to write about- don't believe- look at the quality of new threads in the GARM. The best ones are nauseating recounts of the old glory years of the Rockets

 

This is a terrible idea. Lowry is head and shoulders better than Dragic. Why would you start Morris when Parsons has already taken the starting SF job? Thabeet before Dalembert is the worst idea of all.

 

I really do like Dragic. He still makes a lot of mistakes, and i question his decision-making some times, but i think he's super-talented, and have always wondered why he's not really considered part of that group of core young guys we'd like to stick with our organization. His size and athleticism also alow him to play well at the 2 position. I know Morey has his eyes on Lull, but i hate that we're likely to get nothing for Dragic when he walks in free agency, when his best years are ahead of him, and there's oh so much potential there.

 

Bandwagon fan much? There's plenty of positive that I can see with our current team. We've got cap flexibility this summer to sign a big-name free agent, an all-star point guard, and an excellent rookie in Parsons.

 

Morris is a better player than Parsons and a higher draft pick with more potential. Parsons is a scrappy player and is better suited coming off the bench. If Parsons was so good, he would have been gone long before the 2nd round.

Lowry is practically the best trade chip we have. Dragic is a better shooter than Lowry and cheaper. You want a superstar, you gotta give up a good player, and all we have now is Lowry

 

We've always had cap room since T-Mac and Yao Ming left and have n't landed any superstar. What makes you think this offseason will be any different. The two major superstars this offseason are Williams and Dwight and neither are coming to Houston

 

I think the biggest knock on Dragic is indeed his decision making at times. He tends to hold onto the ball more than he should to find an opening in the defense to score, instead of trying to facilitate the offense. He'll see less playing time now with Lee coming back from his injury.

 

You do realize that Lowry is signed for ~5 million a year? His contract is a bargain for his production. If Dwight Howard isn't coming to Houston through the free agency, why would trading Kyle to the Magic make sense at all? He wouldn't be signing an extension with us.

If you propose to trade our team's best player, you ought to include who we're trading for and why that even makes sense. If Morris was a better player than Parsons, then he would be starting for our team right now. There's plenty of late first round/second players that ended up playing better than those taken in the lottery (MarShon Brooks comes to mind recently. Scola was taken late in the 2nd round and Manu was as well).

 

We can't afford Dwight through a trade cos the Magic will ask for too much. Our best chance at Dwight is to make a trade before the seasons is over for another superstar, so that our team can be more appealing to Dwight and other free agents.

The Rockets are terrible at developing players, Morey said Morris was our future- i guess he meant our future d-league star

I'm not the gm of the other team, just cos i made a dream list of players available for trades, doesn't mean Morey will follow my advice- so why try. Its his job, he can figure that out.

We didn't draft Scola, so don't give Morey that credit.

For all the credits and praise Morey gets, tell me one gem that he has unearthed in the draft. Go on, I'll wait

 

The mindlessness of RedStaag's posts saddens me.

 

with a name like HamJam, i don't expect anything great from you. I'm impressed by the fact that you can turn on your computer and log on.

 

Tell me this guy's NOT a stud...

Uh... Carl Landry with the 31st pick? Aaron Brooks with the 26th pick? Chase Budinger with the 44th pick? Patterson?

 

Cant believe he is only 25. He needs to improve his decision making

 

Extending him and perhaps Lee would put the Rockets in better position to chase free agents. Especially if they can lock them into very manageable contracts.

I doubt Llull will come over. In the lead up to the draft, ie in the year he was picked, he said he had no desire to play in the NBA. That tune only changed because Euro players use their draft rights/threaten to leave for better leverage in contract negotiations.

If the Rockets sign a major free agent next season it's even more unlikely Llull will be an option because it'll take cap space to sign him as he's a second round pick.

 

Mother of God.
