Rockets acquire KJ McDaniels for Isaiah Canaan, second round pick

I think he can be a solid player. He was looking pretty good when Beverley went down. I wish McHale had played him more.

 

Talented kid but what need does he fill?

 

Rggg Canaan nvr got a shot here!

woot! KJ!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've got to admit, I don't get it. Why give up assets to acquire massive potential when the season will be over in 2 months and then that potential becomes a free agent with no Bird rights?

I freaking love KJ McDaniels as a project, but he's not going to be a key contributor for a contender by May.

 

thats why he had to be moved

 

Maybe the move was to avoid a harassment suit.

 

Then we can bring him back for an insane amount of money... ROFL

 

Good to know you moved on. :grin: Define blow up please.

 

I like how he attacks the hole and his hops look dynamite

 

If IC blows up, I want KM gone. He hasn't given him a fair shake since PBev healed. Shame, I really hate to lose him.

 

My thoughts exactly, I don't see how this move helps the Rockets. I really don't get the 37 year old guard either. We already had one. These are both head scratchers.

 

Hell if he becomes a 10ppg and 5apg while shooting 42% overall and 40% from 3, that would have been ENOUGH to help this team now.

Haven't seen McDaniels in Philly, but he adds some athleticism. Nice pickup even though I think Canaan is going to be a good NBA player.

 

We completed our annual trade with Philly!

I think this is mostly about the great 2nd round pick, though, assuming it's Philly's own.

 

I had the exact some thoughts. Somebody please explain this trade.

 

sounds like a gigolo brew master

 

You mean assuming we played him. How often does that happen?

 

So much for flexibility? This is way too much to give up for a rental. I still don't get it.
