Quite far away. We have two stars and nothing else. We got 73 games out of Harden and 71 games out of Howard. If either of them misses an extended...
It's a three-year deal coinciding with the end of the Dirk era. No matter how much they end up overpaying from a moneyball perspective, it's...
If you believe someone will make him a bigger offer than you're willing to pay, you package him and his Bird Rights in a trade. This could be...
I agree that Morey gambled and lost, but it was also a mistake. You have to look at these decisions in context. The Rockets were not in the same...
"He didn't even indicate if he meant now or next summer." LOL
You can win a championship with two elite players if one (or both) of them is in the 99th percentile. Harden and Howard are 95th percentile or...
Beverley has never even played a full NBA season, and he was well below league average last year. I like his attitude and determination and he can...
Heh. I believe he was saying "No offense intended to OT, Kenny, and Mad Max, but they're not elite." :grin:
Another way of looking at it is that we have two all-stars...and not a single other proven NBA player on the entire roster. Ariza is our third...
Ariza and a bunch of guys we're trying real hard to be optimistic about. Considering where the team was at the start of free agency, it's "Meh."...
JVG or George Karl for me, thanks.
I agree with him and I hope he pisses off Morey and gets his ass fired. :grin:
I don't have a problem with these league-minimum signings. It's possible they'll help with defense and rebounding (I hope so!); it's also possible...
Agreed, but by the same token you can't just say "We have plenty of offense" or "Offense is not our problem." That was the claim we were...
Yes. I have no idea where offense is coming from when Harden is on the bench, or D-ed up, or chucking bricks. Ironically, you take away Lin and...
But then you're saddled with Smith's ~13+ million. How do you make room for Rondo?
Yeah, doesn't make any sense. The Rockets could acquire Josh Smith, because Josh Smith was below league average with a terrible contract. But you...
"Maybe" and "I'm not sure..." In other words, it's base speculation. Parsons left because Dallas offered him $15 million/year and Houston didn't....
I don't believe you need three superstars, if that's what the "Morey Doctrine" is. I do agree that you won't win a championship by pretending that...
Thing is, I agree with the analysis: This roster isn't good enough with CP at 15 per to win a championship. And if that's your read on the team,...
