Sources: Rockets looking for a scorer off the bench

exactly repped.
Just because Young has become a joke because of the Lakers' fans unreal expectation doesn't mean he isn't a good shooter. He also has improved his defence this year.

The reason they may be interested in Brew is a) they are stupid b) they are tried last year to unload young to empty capspace but they couldn't and so they may think it will be SMH better to unload Brew if they get rid of Young's contract.

 

huh? where did you get that? for one i was never a harden fan. hope that's not a crime. lol.

Yes, what I said is 100% accurate and we have played 26 games - not 23.

And you FAILED to mention our defensive stats, how are those doing compared to last year?

How are the stats of the man Harden is guarding on a nightly basis doing?

HARDEN IS THE PROBLEM !

When your best player is not trying, it has a cancerous effect on the entire team - and this is what you get.

No matter what you apologists say, you are not dealing in reality.

Harden is a problem - his ball hogging is a problem, his lack of defense is a problem, his lack of leadership is a problem.

HE IS THE PRIMARY PROBLEM ....please notice I did not say the ONLY problem.

But the biggest and most important PROBLEM on the team starts and ends with Harden.

If he would give up the ball, move his body and TRY on defense, the turnaround from the team would be dramatic.

This is a case of..."Well, he isn't trying, so why should I - itis".....the team is FRUSTRATED with Harden.

When did we start coddling players and not demanding that they CARE about playing hard, or giving effort?

If that is what you want, then you will get a career of a guy who is never going to lead a team anywhere, ever. Harden is the main problem and he holds the key to the solution.

Nothing more to be said....no amount of "Well in the last 5 minutes he was XYZ" is going to mitigate the truth.

You can disagree - but you would be wrong!

No need to read again Drogba's the genius post. Even that he made this hypothesis that Harden should be DPOY is enough.

 

Apparently Dwight is allowing 51% shooting at the rim. 51%! Your $22m center that is a cancer on offense has become a liability on the other end.

 

Well this explains a lot.

 

You're having a comprehension problem.

 

Lou Williams would be nice off the bench. Either way Brewer needs to go.

 

Because he was brought in to be That Player that Got Us Over the Hump. Now the only "hump" is what's getting done to the Rockets on a fairly regular basis.

Granted, some trades just go over like a turd in a punchbowl. This was one of them.

Lawson's a $12,000,000 millstone around the team's neck. A sea anchor threatening to pull the H.M.S. Surprise straight to the bottom of the South Atlantic.

Rather than a great starter, we have a mediocre starter. WHOOPS! I mean, we have a mediocre backup point guard. WHOOPS! We have a guy who, for whatever reason(s), hasn't fit in with the team and won't take it upon himself to really try. (Hey, maybe the fit is really just that bad.) So he comes into the game for his seven minutes to prove to other teams who might be willing to take a chance on him and his expiring contract that, yes, he is still breathing....

But the backup PG minutes must go to Jason The Jet Terry. And when I say "The Jet", I mean the Messerschmidt, not the FA-18 Hornet.

How is that effecting the team's performance?

 

like what?

dont think too hard, my friend.

 

Nope I understand plenty.
Harden is to blame for nothing only to be praised.
Last year he should have been : MVP, DPOY, MIP, comeback player of the year, COY, ROY, executive of the year, 6MOY and inducted in the Hall of fame.

 

I don't have too you explained everything.

 

You are right I have been thinking the same thing, It annoys the he!! out of me.

They need to sit Harden for a lot longer, and let the team learn to play without him .

I wonder if Less Alexander would let Morey move Harden in a trade?
Wonder who would want harden the most and if it would take a 3 or 4 team trade to move him. You would need to get a starter and 2 very good rotation players at least.

Yes I know I am getting senile in my old age. (more so every week.)

 

Straw men.

 

Learn how to read. You and the rest of the Harden hate mob are the ones claiming Harden's the sole difference between ranking 6th in Def RTG last year and 27th this season. He should've been both MVP and DPOY last season if his impact on the defensive end was that astronomic.

Not only that but apparently his supposed ball hogging is the reason Ariza, Brewer and Lawson are all shooting under 40%.

 

When a player doesn't get to play he can't be blamed by the picture of the team ON THE COURT.

A fail trade? Wow You are acting like it's the first time it has ever happened in the history of the league. Be glad that we got him to get his next year unguaranteed. He's not a noose to use due to that. BUT he wont' be easy to dump.

It's easy to dump neutral value expiring contracts of small to medium $. Expiring contracts more than 10 mil is hard.

 

Wonder if Hood could be had for Lawson

 

with his contract only on first year, it would be hard to believe any team willing to take him.

 

Les will never allow Morrey to trade Harden. He is a cashcow. Not happening and not even worth speculating about it.

Chicago has still Rose for the same reason. And he's not such a cashcow as Harden.
