Rockets sign Carlos Delfino (2012)

this line up made me laugh .. first of all why would you assume that they would play delfino at BOTH back up 2 and 3?????? clearly he will play one of those positions and a rookie will play the other .. NEXT why would you assume that a guy that hardly played any during the SUMMER LEAGUE will back up two spots? harrellson wont even get any playing time much less be a primary off the bench .. the 4 and 5 back up spots will be split between DMO, Jones and white. White will prob also play some 3 when they are going big.

It seems like you just made this lineup just to keep the rookies out and looking at how impossible this lineup is I think you ended up proving the opposite of your point, which is if it is going to take 2 players backing up 4 spots and basically a 7 person lineup to keep the rookies out than the rookies will definitely play

 

You actually think Harrellson is going to play over rookies?

 

Never seen him play. Is he that bad??

 

He is Morris like in his ability to underachieve.

 

everyone just got trolled by OremLK.

 

This guarantees Martin is getting moved. Hopefully for Jefferson

 

so now when it was almost clear we were rebuilding we arent? /sigh

 

Good signing.

 

I don't get why you guys are crying at getting Delfino on a short term contract (with 2nd year team option) that will likely be valuable even as a trade asset.

Ever since Courtney Lee (along with Dragic and Lowry) departed, Kevin McHale has wanted to add a G/F with experience. Defino gives Kevin McHale the G/F experience that he's wanted all along.

 

I don't really see a problem with the delfino signing. As stated earlier, it may put martin being traded into motion. This allows lamb to start and delfino as depth. If the keep livingston, it also provides the chance to play livingston and lin together.

 

Actually Jorts is more of an overachiever. Not very athletic or long for a center, but is physical in the post, rebounds well and can shoot the long ball.

 

And he has his own official web site, with 41,000 Facebook likes!

i like adding Delfino as a backup SG and SF...i wouldn't also mind signing Barbosa...but i'm really worried about our post scoring and someone that can initiate our inside-out plays.

 

This is exactly the kind of **** that I don't understand. I'm hoping that this was based on the idea that come trading deadline he will be a nice piece for a contender. But if he eats up heavy minutes....I'm going to be pissed.

 

face palm... ive come to a conclusion... fire morrey

 

This move has to lead to KM being dealt but to what team? Utah = Jefferson or KM + Patterson to Atlanta for JSmith + filler. I can't wait to find out in the coming weeks.

 

I believe you mean 'Maury'.

 

Time to throw Motie and Jones into the fire.

 

i guess we're fully targeting the pre-teen demographics with this move, (Parsons, Delfino, Lin, Asik, D-Mo, the NBA's version of One Direction)
