Hello again! Had a bite to eat with an executive from the Rockets the other day, thought I would share a few things with the fine folks here on CF. Rockets are going after Josh Smith or Millsap this summer. They like both. They Rockets are not that happy with McHale, questioning his tactics and his rotations (especially with Wizards/Bucks). Rockets want a good backup to Harden, they are not happy with the minutes he is playing and they obviously see him for long term. Worried about damaging his knees with minutes/the style of play. They like DMO, they asked him to add a lot of size and to bulk up. If he comes through for the franchise there could be a good future with the team. They like the kid. Traded Patterson because they felt he was going to be overpaid when he became a FA. They wanted to avoid all that. With TROB, they dont really know what to expect from him. They dont include him in the future, but they dont discount him from it as well. Its more of a wait and see approach. They like Garcias leadership and bench presence. Not sold on Smith as the backup C. They want a BIG MAN, not a PF playing the C. Parsons is about to get PAID (obvious). They are so high on this guy its unreal. Lobbying him for MIP.. Everyone have a wonderful weekend!
So they didn't trade for Trob because of potential, they just didn't want to lose Ppat for nothing? That is interesting.
i remember closely monitoring the bulls/asik match or not match thread started by cyberx. i think he's legit. thanks for sharing the info.

Lin they like, but they picked him over Dragic because of marketing $. Trust me, they have benefited GREATLY. Was going over some numbers and I was WOWED. But, I think this was all known.
Rockets figured they would be able to get him as a FA this summer after seeing how his knees played out this season. We all know where that has gone. You guys know in the NBA there are a million discussions and a million scenarios. There is never JUST a plan A. You need to understand these guys have a plan A, B, C, D. You can't put all your eggs in one basket. There are always multiple scenarios being thrown around. To know every little thing that has been discussed is impossible.
What specifically does the team not like about the tactics in the Wizards and Bucks games? Also, you Patterson haters can suck it. The guy is about to get paid. Les is too cheap to pay him so they traded him for the Tank Engine.
