    Decent price for his talent, but really risky signing...dude is crazy injury prone.

    Need to dump Brewer or waive/stretch Brewer now, no room for him in the rotation.

    Need another PG, and to either match Dmo or sign a center... and that will basically be our off season.

    Would have preferred 2 at the most 3 years because of injury risk. Hoping that he will kill it in D'Antonis system and at 4 years become a real bargain with the new salary cap rising.

    I thought morey was all about flexibility.
    Not putting any team options on these 2 new contracts is weird
    You would think with the injury concerns we would be cautious
    Think the rockets are sharting they're pants right now

    Future 6th man of the year.

    Now just need to upgrade the PG spot and snag a veteran big. Zaza would be nice.

    If he can't stay healthy it's wasted money. Barnes, Wade, Lee>>>Gordon!

    41.8% FG

    Ryno is no better. These guys won't create anything. They will just stand around throwing up 3's because that's what Morey will ask of them.
