    Better than having Bobby Brown on your bench

    I am just not a huge fan of Kansas players, majority of them have flamed out in the NBA despite coming out with major potential. In McLemore case i would give a benefit of a doubt considering he was with the Kings during one of their most dysfunctional phases, but he has bounced around the league enough and never could find a home. Could the Rockets salvage him? Sure thats an optimistic look, but I am not going to pin any hopes on him.

    Considering the other types of players available for the min - I would definitely give McLemore a fair shot, he wasn't just a top 10 pick for no reason and many did have him in the lottery that year. Its a low risk high reward, but again if the team is expecting him to be a contributor in the same vein they viewed Ennis last season then there is a problem

    It really is ridiculous the negativity on this board.

    If things are bumming you out so much, might want to do something else than come on here and complain, tbh.

    Agreed.

    Morey says "we are going after super stars". Fans are like "talk is cheap; we'll believe it when we see it." But when Morey works out minimum contract guys to fill roster spots, fans are like "get that trash outta here; Morey must be crazy."

    Im glad hes getting a good stsrt kicking the tires on miniumum contract guys. And frankly, i dont think he does worse than last year. No place to go but up!

    Morey why don't you have Harden tell Rivers he will be given a new contract. Quit messing with these guys that will never be in the rotation.

    I wish Morey could trade some of the so called fans from Houston + a pick for some of the fans in Toronto

    Are these the fireworks Tad was talking about?
    I don’t understand why for the love of god does DM always have to wait until the last damn minute to make a move!
    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is going to be another year of the same ol BS we hear over and over again, the famous “we almost had something”, “we could’ve done something”, “things just never developed”.... smh

    Free agency hasn't even freaking started yet. What the hell could he have already done?

    2 moves have been made. Gotta see how the Butler situation goes. You want them to ruin their chances there by making brash desicions now?
