[ESPN Stein Line] Summer Scoop: Now what for Rockets?

There is no scenario on earth where Melo will be traded for Kevin love. None.

 

If we get bounced out again, Love will leave.

 

its really just N/A that's being the dumb@$$

 

Is Bosh a FA this summer?

 

You people are freakin' nuts...trade Harden?

 

Lin isn't good enough to run a playoff team, he basically has mediocre shooting guard handles, which is nowhere near good enough for a point guard.

 

Oh now I get it ...

we don't want to be contenders, we just want to provide entertainment for the fans.

you know, comedy ...

This franchise won't be moving up ever with this clown on the bench. I wasted all these years rooting for this illusion of a genius and superstar-wannabes.

Morey, until you sign on that dotted line, you still have a chance to right the ship. Fans won't be going down with you.

 

Exactly.

Trade the best SG in the league for one of the better PF's in the league who has never made the playoffs, who is just as bad on defense.

Anyone who suggests Harden for Love should be instantly banned for the duration of the off-season.

 

We have our PG in Harden/Bev so stfu LOF!

Only LIN needs to go..

 

Harden for kevin love, will take it...

other then harden, Minne will not trade kevin for any player in rockets.
then trade ASIK for R.Anderson or Any Center who can defends or finish strong in the post or just develop DMO
keep daniel, and if you can, ship Cisco, Casper for better shooter
Bring back AB or get PG who can def

Starter : dwight, Love, bev, lin, parson/anderson
Bench : Jones , DMo, Daniel, parson/anderson , AB and others

Go Small = Dwight or Love , Bev, Lin/Daniel , parson, Anderson
Max offense = Dwight, Love, Lin, Parson, Anderson
Max def= Dwight , love, parson, bev, (Jones,dmo,ab or others)

 

By the way, Cut LIN payroll to 3.5-5M/year

 

Harden and Howard is fine together. This is their first year together and we all know the Rockets are not yet ready to contend this year. The Rockets need to add more talent to surround Harden and Howard. Then on top of that, the Rockets need a more discipline coach who would bring out the best in Harden and Howard.

Mchale is a good coach for a rebuilding team but his inability to adjust baffles me. The Rockets are clearly the better team than the Blazers but Terry Slotts were able to find adjustments to the Rockets while the Rockets never attempt to adjust back to the Blazers. In the Playoffs, elite teams constantly adjust their game to beat their opponents. The Rockets were clearly out coached the entire series and even on the last shot, Mchale told everyone to stay on their man which is why Lillard got so wide open in the first place.

 

Good read:

I'm impatient too Morey! But my gut tells me this team will jell, communicate better and be an improved team next year for regular season and playoffs. Disclosure: barring injuries and illnesses

Morey told ESPN's Shelburne halfway through the series: "Obviously we all want to win now. Our owner only cares about two things: his granddaughter and winning a title. Dwight is at that stage where there's nothing to accomplish but winning a title. I'm hungry: I'm in my eighth year and we've only advanced once. So, while, logically, you know that younger teams that come together -- and we're the youngest team in the playoffs -- take longer to win. We logically get that, but we're all impatient emotionally."

 

I'd never trade Harden for Love. That would get us nowhere.

 

yes, because I'm actually serious about a Harden trade that isn't gonna happen...(facepalm)

You're quite the "genius" yourself...

 

As stupid as it may sound I would do parsons for brewer... Better shooter and defensive player, we almost had him this season but Minnesota beat us to it.

 

Did you watch the playoffs?

 

Harden's agents must be working ot now

 

I'm a big Harden fan but two years running he's practically a no show in the playoffs. It's only common sense to question his ability to lead this team.

 

Trade Harden for Love? The same Love who has sat out how many games the past two years?

No thanks. Harden is 24 and doesn't get injured much, and not seriously.
