    Danny Green and Seth Curry, why did he never do that here?!

    Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon, Gerald Green, Robert Covington, Ben McLemore. Just in the last few years....

    Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon, Chris Paul, Trevor Ariza, Gerald Green, PJ Tucker, Ben McLemore, Danuel House, Robert Covington, Austin Rivers...

    You had to be able to play both ways to cut it in Houston's rotation and given that requirement,I would say Morey added plenty of guys who could shoot. Curry would be the best shooter out of all of them but he's also a poor defender.

    Embiid and Simmons are also defensive studs.

    RoCo shot 50% from 3 in playoffs.

    Better than Green or Curry.

    I'm sure Morey would have liked RoCo too.

    Josh Richardson is better than Danny Green though.

    Philly is up to something in free agency and via trade. They have created a large TPE and got out of Horford deal so they can have wiggle room to get a big fish

    A. Belongs in the Dish

    B. He got shooters here too, they just kept missing. Or even if they shot close to 40%, they were regarded as "missing too much" by some.

    Morey is about to show the world what he can do when he’s not tied down by a cheap idiot.

    Morey and I continue to be on same wavelength. His 2nd rounders were:

    6'5 sniper Isaiah Joe

    6'9 Paul Reed (7'3 wingspan) - Christian Wood like skills on offense but much stronger and much better defender - switchable
