Morey inclined to keep young Rockets status quo

the Lakers are clearing their books in 2014 they're going to grab every star player Maury can't

 

sorry I meant 2015

 

if you're not playing for championship your playing for nothing

 

The goal this trade deadline is to acquire as many picks as possible. We don't have a 1st round pick in this draft, and that needs to change.

 

There's only one LeBron.

But Granger is only 29 and his injury history isn't that bad.. Deng is another guy I hope he has his eyes on...

 

Not really b****ing,but why not move delfino? He's rght,there are a lot of 23 yr old,but a lot of those 23 yr olds are maxed out talent wise and delfino is 30.Delfino is playing well enough to get good value for him to add a younger player. Delfino + patterson/Morris gives the team a good option in my opinion.

 

Pressured Presti's hand? Not saying good or bad,but presti was shopping harden soon as the season was over last yr to get a feeler. When harden started balking on a deal,presti moved. Its not like he had to trade harden,he got a great deal for harden.

 

“There’s a few reasons,” Morey said. “Everyone (on the roster) is tied to the future. They’re all 23-ish, pretty much all our guys. We’d like to grow together. And we have a clear and present way to upgrade without trades with all the cap room. All those things add up to us being more stable.”

I think this is very telling of future moves. We are not going to reach for talent...we're going to allow the talent to come to us.

Max room in 2013 FA and again in 2015 (Asik and Lin expire). If I was Morey, I may save our cap space for 2014 FA when there are more top shelf free agents available. At that point, Lin and Asik will essentially be quality expirings...so I could see them dealt with other prospects/picks for a star.

So the timeline for me is:

2013/2014 season - More development and another mediocre year.
2014/2015 season - We land two other stars

PG: Star
SG: Harden
SF: Parsons
PF: Star
C: Smith

 

Bingo! You Sir our today's winner!!

 

so back on the treadmill we have been on for last couple of years?

 

I don't think it makes him look desperate, but I do believe it effects the players on the team.

 

seems reasonable

 

Thank you. This is what many of us have suspected to be a major factor in the skid.

Is there a version of the chart which includes on the left column each team's record in those games that have been competed?

 

A power forward who is a low-post threat or a natural range shooter would help solidify the offense. A top 3-point shooter would fit as well.
