If Lamb is traded I will be po'd....why can't we just rebuild with what we have....Gordon stays on the IR...smh
This is the worst post I've read in awhile. You're really going to say that about Lowry and Scola? Two guys that put their all into every game. Far from bums, even with Lowry disgruntled. He has every right to be with an incompetent coach. As for Martin, he had a terrible year, but he's not a bum. See: career.
Classic CF right here... (A ton of talk about the Rockets trying to trading up into the top 5 of the draft to get Dwight Howard) Clutchfans - We don't want Dwight Howard. Why are you doing this Morey? Terrible GM (Rockets fail to trade into the top 5) Clutchfans - Fire Morey! He can't get it done. Terrible GM. He values his "assets" too much. Horrible draft! (Random tweet about Rockets possibly completing a S&T for Eric Gordon) Clutchfans - We don't want Eric Gordon, we like our rookies too much. Not worth it. We could have Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, and LeBron James and you guys STILL wouldn't be happy.
I wouldn't want to give up D-Mo. You don't give up seven foot prospects for shooting guards that are frequently injured. Lamb I really like (I have a feeling he's going to be very good), but I could understand it with Gordon coming back. You have to give to get. Under no circumstances, though, would I give up two from that grouping for Gordon - much less three. Martin, Patterson, Lamb. That's as far as I'd go.
Lol not a fan, but I dont hate them. I like Jones, I'm just more willing to part with him then the others.
Scola allowing Kevin Love to step on him is the most embarrassing single event for the Rockets in 15 years. None of the starters stood up for him and he didn't stand up for himself. In my book that makes him a bum. Martin and Lowry haven't gotten it done regardless of their numbers, I was a fan of both of theirs until they started complaining. I'm a simple person; I go to work, I do my job, I go home, and I don't complain. So when I hear guys who make millions of dollars complaining about stupid issues I call them bums. BUMS need to go.
In a way Gordon is like these newly drafted guys. He hasn't proven his worth for a max contract. He's just a more expensive bank on potential.
to be fair.. eric gordon isn't worth two of our rookies. Especially given his injury history. Lamb has potential to be a Gordon type player.
If you give up lamb and dmo for a glass shooting guard, you're an idiot...now if he was injury free but he's not.
"I don't always dunk when I go down the lane but when I do. I use my right hand." "I don't always enjoy the behind the back pass. But when I do it is to an open three point shooter." I really like White not only as a player but as a personality on the team. Fierguard Bleed Red Rockets Red Royce White is.... The Most Interesting Rocket In the World
Uhhh I would have loved getting Howard, but since we couldn't get it done, I'm really happy with the guys we did get. LOVE Lamb, really like White, and I'm liking Jones more and more now from what I've seen of him. I would like to trade Martin and Scola so they can play, though -- not offer them up for a max salary guy who can't even stay healthy. Bynum, I would be fine offering Lowry and a couple other young pieces for, even with the injury concerns. Because he's actually been able to stay healthy recently and I feel he can be a true franchise player much more than Gordon can.
Considering the Hornets are probably the only team interested in Martin and every team in the NBA wants Howard...yes. They probably prefer the safe move which is see how Martin does in his contract year than gamble on an injury prone star.
Nothing is fair...the minute Gordon gets hurt this forum will explode!!! If the Rockets trade for him
Gordon being injury prone is what makes me hesitant to pull the trigger on a deal like this, on top of giving up a couple of rookies. I'd like to keep Lamb and DMo. But if it means getting rid of KMart, I'd do it.
