A better question would be, is he actually registered here or just a lurker...oh, and has he ever responded to a thread.
Ask him why the Rockets are "running in place" and little or no progress in terms of team record have been made on his watch. Shouldn't his tenure be considered a failure?
So how do the answers work? Any way to jump to them, or you just have to keep looking to see what he answered?
Sounds like he wants the guys to play well, while they tank (inexperience) so that he can use them as trade bait for a superstar. IMO, he confirmed what everyone else thinks, theyre going to be young, inexperienced and BAD.
Yeah, this is slow....seems pointless so far. Don't think he confirmed that or would ever. He still wants to sell tickets.
AnUnmetPlayer When Lowry was traded away and Dragic signed with the Suns you guys went from two starting quality point guards to none. From an outside perspective it looked like fairly inept managing, what was going on internally during this time. Were you confident you could get Jeremy Lin? Were you rolling the dice? permalink dmorey First, I would refer to my #2 answer here. Each move makes sense under this lens. The guaranteed lottery pick we received from Toronto for Lowry is more valuable in acquiring an all-star level player. Dragic wanted a player option (that Phoenix gave him) which greatly harms a players value and will almost always lead us away from #2. A player option essentially guarantees that a team ends up with either a free agent (not valuable) or a player who the league thinks is not valuable and blocks your salary cap flexibility. We were rolling the dice on getting Jeremy Lin but taking smart risks is what we have to do up and down the roster on every move. As only 1 team out of 30 gets to win, you cannot play it safe. A fund manager who beats more than half his peers and beats the S+P 500 is considered pretty good. We have won more games than we lost the past few years (beaten our peers) despite losing our franchise player Yao Ming and it has been appropriately considered disappointing despite the fact that most teams win around one-third of their games after losing their franchise player. We need to keep taking on more smart risk.
