You typed that diatribe on an iPhone?!? You MUST be a true fan. I'm not eve joking...that's dedication, my man. Don't take it personal and I did actually read it. haha Just good natured ribbing, breh. Keep on keepin on.
Everyone's gonna suck while the guys taking pay cuts are going to wreck...... I think LMA choses Houston..... Do I care thou? Not really.... If he comes yay if he doesn't yay....
A while back he thought LMA to HOU at 75%. That might have changed by now. I was just wondering how worried they are tha LMA hasn't decided yet.
Typing on Iphone is tough man, the keyboard randomly decides to just disappear on you at the worst possible time...I feel you Bro haha I'm all for Resigning Smoove and trading for an upgrade at PG (Lawson, Collison, etc.) leave the Lamarcus situation alone unless we truly are still in the thick of things
If I'm Morey, I have 3 plans: 1. Get LMA 2. Resign everyone and stock up on quality bench players 3. Collison and bench 1. The long shot and honestly, my least favorite of the 3. You get LMA, yes. But this means no smith (most likely), and either DMo, Jones, or both, are out. Not to mention Ariza possibly being out too. You lose bench depth, lots of money, and some quality young players that could contribute well (including fan favorite Capela). 2. Resign Brewer and Bev (done). Currently we have the MLE left. It could be possible to convince KJ and Smith to share the MLE since KJ is reportedly looking for 3 years/$10 and the remainder can go to Smith who's still banking with the Pistons. Make his deal end the same year as the Pistons one so he's not getting robbed and he'll most likely take the deal. Upgrade the bench by getting Beno Udrih to backup Bev and sign an insurance big man (Emeka Okafor???) at the minimum. Both can come by on low money. Also, send Jones out to basically any team for assets and let Prigs and Dorsey go. This roster looks like this: Spoiler Bev/Beno/Johnson Harden/KJ Ariza/Brewer/Dekker DMo/Smith/Harrell Dwight/Capela/Okafor 3. I mentioned this one earlier but wanted to make a small change and show how this is all possible without signing Stuckey into the MLE. Do a 3 team trade with Sacramento and Indiana. Send Prigs, Dorsey, Jones to Sacramento. We send Papa to Indiana. In return, the Pacers send us Stuckey and Sacramento sends us Collison. Since Stuckey is being paid using Cap Space in this context, we slip him into replace the money of Jones, Prigs, Dorsey, while Collison replaces the Papa money. This roster puts Bev as a backup where he seems to be best fit. Then with the MLE, like above, it can be shared by KJ and Smith and we could sign an insurance big at the Vet Minimum. This possible roster looks like: Spoiler Collison/Bev/Johnson Harden/Stuckey/KJ Ariza/Brewer/Dekker DMo/Smith/Harrell Howard/Capela/(vet big man (Okafor)) My preference as a fan is #2 because I love watching Beno play. But as a person who wants to see the Rockets succeed, #3 will make us the most successful. IMO.
Seriously, no lie - what's up with these people? Was Rome built in a day? With Morey, it's a process.
