The experience you need to succeed comes from being on the court and playing. You are kidding yourself if you think a bunch of career bench players in their second and third year are in their primes. You honestly think asik Lin and Parsons will be close to the best they will ever be next year?
I think they are in the prime of their bodies' physical abilities to play the game of basketball and they have more and better experience than you're giving them credit for.
I agree that their bodies are in their prime but there is way more to the game than that. I realize they have some experience but not enough to consistently win games when they have no prior team chemistry. If Durant Westbrook and Green struggled with a similar amount of experience and more veterans on the team I don't see this team being 12 games better like you predict.
People I've seen blamed here for Morey's shortcomings: C. Dawson Les Alexander Rick Adelman C. Anthony D. Howard T. McGrady Y. Ming Rob Hennigan Otis Smith David Stern Chris Bosh Mark Cuban Mark Warkentien Masai Ujiri Kevin Pritchard Jeff Van Gundy Team USA NBPA ... I'm sure I missed a few.
It is because Morey is such a genius the whole league had to conspire against him to keep him down. If his mastery of the NBA were to ever go unchecked it would be the biggest consolidation of power the world has ever seen.
I know right. Having the Toronto pick says it all. If the team finishes horribly, Rockets get a high pick and that was his plan all along. If they finish middle of the pack and end up with 12-14th pick, well that means the rookies were awesome. If they somehow make the playoffs, Morey obviously is a genius when it comes to putting talent together. I mean a GM that has set up every possible scenario all pointing to him being awesome is pure awesomeness in itself. This guy really is on another level. The golden age is about to return to Houston. Prepare.
His point is that even though NBA.com says it, (that we offered the best trade to Orlando for Dwight Howard) the matter of the fact is that the National Basketball Association is fixed. They don't care about Houston. Not at all... All they care about is making money. The new CBA that the NBA agreed to is bull****. What they didn't want happening, (more super teams of 3 or more superstars) has happened. They are looking like a bunch of hypocrites of those people working for the NBA... David Stern should retire. He is absolutely destroying the NBA from the inside of those cities not named L.A., Boston, New York or Miami.
