Where do you put the blame, T-Will or Rockets organization ?

After watching Lin drain another 3 pointer in the clutch all I know is this **** better not happen again.

I really hope we don't see Twill getting triple doubles and becoming what we thought he could on another team. They better be right about this guy.

 

Both.

But I believe if the organization took the initiative, many of T-Will's issues would be fixed.

 

Taking on Thabeet's contract was the price Morey had to pay to get a first round pick in exchange for Battier - who wasnt going to be resigned anyway.

If Im not mistaken , that first round pick turned into Montejunas .... So while on the surface , Thabeet looks like a horrible investment .... we havent seen the dividends of that trade just yet. Its still Incomplete , until we see what Montejunas can produce.

 

This. I always thought this guy(Terrence) was overhyped on here but you trade for the guy and you aren't going to play him? Then why trade for him? I'm not even talking about starting, simply playing. This guy can't even see the floor and you traded a first round pick for him. Flat out FAIL.

Both are at fault.

 

Maybe Morey expected his talent to show in practice and for him to earn playing time?

It is the coaches call who to play or bench. Seems like TWill has done nothing to earn playing time.

 

Going into this season we had 2nd round rookie Chandler Parsons, 2nd rounder Chase Budinger and Marcus Morris learning a new position in the D-League at the position that Terrence Williams plays. It was perfectly set up for Williams to win that starting job and earn major minutes and he didn't.

It's not as if the Rockets went out and traded for a couple veterans to play in front of him - he got beat out by a rookie.

 

Thats the be all end all of the situation .... Not only did he get beat out by a rookie , it was a rookie second round pick.


The opportunity was there .... he didnt capitalize upon it.

 

As did Chase, but Chase still gets some minutes...

 

Though I wanted the Rockets to give him more chance, he just seems looking lost when given playing time. Inconsistency is the word. Sometimes he feels like being a play maker, a defender, a scorer and when being criticized he becomes a passive and conservative player. You don't have to be a complete player to be effective just focus on the game even when you're only being given garbage minutes. Hard work doesn't matter when it doesn't translate to productive and meaningful stay on the court.

 

TWill is obviously a knucklehead... still he should be gettig at least some garbage time minutes - NOT because he deserves them, but so as to hopefully give him some kind of trade value! We spent a first rd pick, and we're gonna walk him for nothing. We're not even making any kind of effort to recoup at least a portion of our investment - where's the sense in that? If you threw TWill and Thabeet out there during some gabage minutes of a blowout, maybe they make a couple decent plays and pique another GMs interest... you're not gonna hurt their value - as I beleve they have no value beyond an expiring contract...

 

Both.


If you trade for him, you have to give him a legitimate chance.

Jeremy Lin and Terrence Williams are products of having a roster that is TOO deep...

We have been dying for a 3 for 1 for years now...

 

Both are to blame.<P>Twill has the skill, but is clearly a headcase and think everything should be handed to him.<p>The organization because they knew what they were getting. They took a chance, but could not open a spot for him to get playing time.

 

I understand and agree with what you said, i just think that he should have played if for nothing else to try to get his trade value up and try to get something for that first rounder we traded.

 

I'm with the "both" option if it existed. Something smells with this whole issue. Suspect deal to begin with, then he is exiled to the back side of the moon by two coaches. He shows flashes of brilliance, but also seems lost. Seems like something could be made of raw talent. His comments in the Chronicle article today were near inflammatory. The fan comments largely roasted Morey and the organization. Chronicle fan comments are getting nasty.

 

There's no blame to be placed. T-Will is just a baby who needs to quit crying and wait for his chance.

 

Let's face it ... If he was playing as good as Martin, Lee, Parsons, or Bud, he'd be getting some playing time.

 

Twill doesn't fit this team period...he'd excel on a team that played uptempo fast break basketball like the..Suns, Bulls, Warriors, Wizards, Raptors, Heat etc....Bulls are desperate for a shooting guard...can you imagine Rose, Twill back court nasty

 

for thos who say PT is earned in practice, how the hell is he going to earn it in practice, when the team barely gets a chance to practice during the shortened season.

i'm a huge T-will fan, i don't think the guy is smart but i like him and i wish him well.

i hope he realizes that potential he has somewhere else.

 

You all seem the be missing the 7 games at the start of this season that he was averaging 20 mins a game...there was a chnace. an enormous chance? maybe not. but dont say he never got a shot

 

I wouldn't want a GM who meddles with coaching decisions. Morey said it many times that coaching decisions are done by coaches, not by him.

Morey obviously saw the potential in Williams and took a gamble. But he lost the gamble. He should have got rid of TWill sooner, like what he did with Ariza. Now he is going to lose that draft pick for nothing.
