Our goal tonight was to get a Star, i cant tell you how many hours of sleep i missed, waiting for this night. ESPN was covering us, the PTI guys mentioned us, so i thought we would get Josh Smith or Dwight Howard tonight
Sarcasm that was. We've actually gotten worse in both blocking shots and rebounding since Dally got traded. Last actual Center drafted by this team was Malick Badiane??????????????
If Morey doesn't buy a 2nd round pick, I'll be pissed. This 2nd round is the most boring one of his tenure.
Not a disaster. Every year, we get into better and better position. However, the need to make some trades to balance things out also gets more and more urgent. It seems to me that we have about 6 guys we need to trade before the season starts. Sooner or later, we will start converting our position into players that can win now. I do wish DM would hurry up and start doing that. I am sure he could have come up with a pick in the top 5, maybe even #2. He didn't pull the trigger on any such deal because he's still accumulating assets. I wish he would start converting some of these assets, but he knows what he's doing.
So maybe if we had tanked we could have gotten Beal instead of Lamb. That would be okay with you? Because I don't see much difference in those two guys.
Dammit...we could have bought that pick from Sac...right there...right now! Orlando outbid Morey? Sac and Orl are laughing at him...just to piss him off? not looking good.
As they are now: Lowry, Fortson, (Dragic/RFA) Martin, Lamb, Livingston, (Lee/RFA) Parsons, White, Morris, Simpson Scola, Patterson, Jones Leuer, Smith, Brockman
Rockets will be behind the Astros and Dynamo in Houston team interest if they continue to build the best NBADL team. Yes.
Not at all, it will be if all of these players are still on the roster without any upgrades by opening day. The Rockets are probably going to need a backup point guard (maybe a starter), if Dragic somehow leaves and Lowry is still frustrated. As usual, we still need a center.
Morey's MO: collect assets, not build teams. He is running out of time here. Hopefully, he will prove us doubters with a splash trade(s) with all these assets, or maybe not. I am not expecting much, so I won't be dissapointed when it doesn't happen.
Every pick taken was good. But the goal was not achieved. The value of our assets greatly diminished. Tonight was a disaster.
GS lost eleven more games than the Rockets and get Harrison Barnes. Detroit lost nine more games than the Rockets and get Andre Drummond. Portland lost six more games than the Rockets and get Meyers Leonard. Morey passed on John Henson. Morey passed on Tyler Zeller. Morey passed on Arnett Moultrie. Morey passed on Perry Jones III. It's only a disaster if you didn't see it coming, and I did.
