Are we done with roster moves for the offseason? Are you satisfied.

good for now.. lets see how it goes in training camp and early part of the season... its great we have our expiring contracts as assets.. by the time trade deadline comes around, we'll have a better feel of what holes we need to fill.. so patience might be the right move right now.

 

IMO, not good for now. Sorry to disagree, but with Sura's rumored health issues that will keep him out until December then the only legitimate PG is MJames and that is not good enough. We cannot get far behind in the W/L column and play catch up again this year. By and large, the players we picked up after the TMac trade were just bandaids. Some were very good bandaids and some were just placeholders, but their contracts say they must stay. The people we picked up this summer were more targeted to be upgrades at specific needs. The back court is still problematic IMO, and more action is required.

 

Id like to trade Wesley and a scrub for a legit pg and play the pg, james, and head at the point. Then DA, Sura, and JB could fight it out for time at the SG spot. But I like the team as is too.

 

I guess were not getting Dwayne Wade again this year.....oh well Good thing we have Ward and Moochie.

 

I don't believe a team is ever completly done with roster moves. Who knows what's coming next for us fans. I am completly satisfied with the roster moves this offseason.

 

I'm very pleased with the progress we've made this offseason. We've lost none of our real contributors and added two possible starters. I'm still hoping we can work out a deal to unload our expiring contracts for a quality player or two that can be more of a long term answer, but I expect that to happen closer to the trading deadline if it happens at all.

 

I'm VERY happy with our roster.. the only way it would have been better is if we would have some how landed a allstar 4 I.E. KG or something crazy like that.. I dont think we will make another move durring the summer, but I could see us making a move durring the season..

 

We had a great offseason but what makes me nervous is our PG spot. Sura is recovering and injury prone. Although we have many old and crappy backup point guards, none of them can contribute...

 

I'd say that are offseason moves were great. We picked up some quality players w/ lots of potential for cheap. We didn't get tied up in any bad contracts, and we have significantly solidify our front court w/ Swift and the resigning of Deke. I'm still a little worried about our PG situation, but I think our current guards can do a decent job for now. I doubt there will be any more moves until we get closer to the trade deadline.

 

ADDED: Stromile Swift, Derek Anderson, Lonny Baxter, Luther Head.
Plus resigned Jon Barry, Dekembe Mutombo, Ryan Bowen.

LOST: Spoon and Padgett.

I would say that's a pretty good offseason!! I am very satisfied with it. I would say with the resources we had available to us we got "potentially" a very good return on our investment. Let's see how it plays out.
We still have room to make other moves though. We have expiring contracts like Wesley's. This team will always look to get better.

 

While agreeing that the Rockets made smart moves this summer I think we have too many guards to do the job that one should run the offense. I do nnot think Jay Williams is the solution although for the right price it seems like Houston will take the risk and cut their loses. Just a thought they may leave him on the roster as a back up the trade James and others for a better point than we have now.

 

I think we might see another deal closer to training camp, when we can see how Sura's knee is coming along. I think we might see a deal for another PG, using our expiring contracts + Wesley or someone for a PG.

 

I'm happy with all the moves except for resigning Bowen. I respect his defense but I think the Rockets should gotten James Jones as a backup 3 who ended up going to the Suns.
We will just have to see if we can get better around the trading deadline in February.

 

I like our offseason but I'm not satisfied. I'm concernced our backcourt will sink us late in the year and playoffs. If we added a bonifide starter at either position who is younger and clearly better than what we have, I would be happy. DS would have fit the bill perfectly.

 

I notice a surge in repetitive or boring Rockets posts since the Texans suck.

 

I, Sir, am a Texan, and I do not suck. Texas is the greatest state in the country!

 

well, I for one have dated many Texans who sucked very well.

 

what u say?

 

We still need a real point guard and a solid backup at the 3.
