Dude, Ray Allen shot .376 or worse in a year six times in his career. 36% is a GOOD (not great) three point shooter.
The first move in this off-season, draft and free agency together, that I'm not thrilled with and doesn't make sense to me. We have Martin who will not be traded until the deadline and Lamb who needs to develop. If we are rebuilding, doesn't this signing go against that?
roster spots for young ones? one or the other guy with upside has to be traded, got tons of picks and if no allstar trade, piling up on picks and players without spots lead to posssibly more tension between McHale and players
Don't really understand how so many of you think having an active roster of 12 rookies is the only way to rebuild a team. To me that's completely counter-productive. A team like that will barely be playing a sport resembling basketball and just result in a wasted year. These would be very low quality minutes, bad habits will become ingrained, no veterans to learn anything from, etc.
What is with the uproar? Delfino brings a lot of good qualities to the team. Game-changing production is not one of them.
Cxbibby mentioned this, but I think the Rockets, after striking out on the big trades, are going the route of development. If that's the case, I definitely don't mind a low risk signing like Delfino. Martin isn't a good role model, in my opinion, and likely won't be here long anyway. Therefore, they needed somebody like Delfino to step in and take Scola's old role (at a much cheaper price).
this! Sacrament's youth movement has been very problematic due to the lack of veteran leadership (RE: Demarcus Cousin's temper tantrums, Tyreke Evans ball hogging etc.), which they hoped to fix by signing a veteran (Chuck Hayes) to serve as a locker room leader and infuse maturity to the squad
We had ONE small forward on the roster. That's all the signing was about. Marcus Morris and Terrance Jones are not small forwards.
