[ClutchFans] Patrick Beverley makes his pitch for LeBron James to join the Houston Rockets

PBev is so full of win, hope he signs 2 consecutive 4y 18m contracts and retires a Rocket. Has to be my fav player since the wagon.

 

I'm curious as to how other fan bases view McHale

 

Yes these players like to **** all over their coach

 

Melo is a better shooter than Harden. Harden is a better driver than Melo. Melo is bigger, can play the 3 or the 4.

Both are great players. Both are high volume, offensive forces. They might score their points in different ways, but they will score their points.

IMO the only advantage we would get if we traded Harden for Melo would be if that was what was required for us to get Lebron. Otherwise, I would rather keep the guy is who only 24, just now entering his prime and cost 7.6 million dollars less last season.

If trading Harden for Melo was what was required to get Lebron, then yeah that would probably be a move you would have to make. We would then have Parsons, Melo and Lebron, 3 SF's, without a great option at SG. Trading Parsons for a SG would be tricky because of how capped out we would be. Trying to force Lebron to play SG for extended periods of time wouldn't be ideal. I'm sure we could figure something out, but it would be a bit of a logjam there.

 

not necessarily - LeBron would be a year old but you figure he would play far less minutes and wouldnt be required to do nearly as much next season (IF on the rockets) than he did last year in Miami - he clearly was over worked and gassed at the end.

So even though he would be a year older - with far less wear and tear throughout the season he actually can be a more productive player if not certainly more efficient player throughout the season

 

Howard - Melo - Lebron is a huge front line.

Rocket River

 

I do. Whenever a top player on a team goes all out on defense everyone follows unless you have a super ego. He's one of the few players that 'ranks' higher than Melo and Harden (and everyone else) and would get either of them to follow suit.

 

bit shocked he didn't choose to save his current teammates and offered to off himself for the other two boats lol

 

He means offensive stops, as in ISOs.

 

Lol comedy right here

 

Of course, same reason why Francis and Cuttino loved Rudy T... but disliked, mainly Francis, JVG...

It's rare to find a player that actually likes/loves being directed by a hands on disciplinarian coach... or, that enjoy having to adapt to a well structured system... Why do you think the Spurs don't just take anyone into their organization...?

Most players like to do what they want, and play according to what they feel is the best way to play... no matter how young and immature they may be...

 

"We’ve got one of the best coaches..."

Pitch failed!

 

Well the Rockets did win 54 games in the West with a lot of injuries and a bench that was not nearly as deep as a lot of other teams so I would tend to agree.

If Howard didn't think McHale was a good coach hed be in Atlanta or Oakland now. That is the watermark for how NBA players feel about Kevin

 

Is there another coach would have less than 54 wins with DH + Harden?

 

Won't he be the reason why LeBron goes, "oh yeah he's the PG, well I'll look at my other options first then."

 

Patrick Beverley manhandled him in that one game on defense and made him look foolish.
He's basically a poor man's version of Rondo except he's not a ****ing ******* like Rondo is.

I doubt Bev is the reason LeBron might look twice at this team.

 

Bev is basically a version of Rondo that can't pass as well but actually knows how to shoot a basketball and isn't a head case.
