You know, if it wasn't for the injury risk on these two players, I wouldn't hate this. But, as it is, I hate these signings.
Current off season priorities. 1. Sign or trade for a PG 2. Waive and stretch or trade Brewer 3. Match Dmo if he signs to a fair deal, if he cost too much let him walk and sign a backup center with remaining cap space.
I will say this much.... If he somehow finds a way to stay healthy, this guy is essentially a shorter Evan Fournier. And that dude got a much bigger contract than Gordon did. It's a gamble, but if it pays off, Morey could look very smart. I'm just not necessarily all in on it just yet. He's got to prove he can stay healthy for the majority of a season first...
Agree. Not only is there huge injury risk, neither one of them can play defense for anything. Eric Gordon's DRTG last year was 113. Ryan Anderson's DRTG last year was 112. We're going to slaughtered on the other end of the court. Harden, Gordon, and Anderson on the court together will be a blitzkrieg on the defensive end.

I'm pumped. If we aren't going to be able to contend, I would rather put together a team that is super fun to watch than just tank (especially when you have Harden). Hopefully we can make the playoffs and boost these dude's trade values in the process.
Rockets definitely improved..two lights out 3pt shooters! Harden will feast! My main concern is health. Now we need to figure out a way to get rid of Brewer. Maybe that Euro pg wants to come over now..Sergio Llull! Revamped roster PG: Beverly, Llull, Goudelock, Payton II SG: Harden, Gordon, SF: Beasley, Ariza, McDaniels, Dekker PF: Anderson, Dmo, Harrell, C: Capela, Onauaku Our offense will be our defense..Roster looks great!
