Rockets showing interest in trading for Ricky Rubio?

I been asking for this trade even before we got Lawson. Ricky is pass first PG and perfect for the hero ball style of Harden.

 

Yes the rockets need his 3pt shooting in the worst way now. LOL

 

We need his passing only

 

You should stick to the dish.. specifically the Lin thread.

 

lmao :grin:

 

rubio
brewer
ariza
jones
dwight

dont need to guard anyone past the paint
and even then you just need to be within 5 feet of the basket
i'd love to see rubio in our 3pt chuck fest offense just for the laughs

 

Rubio came back down to earth real quick. 5th year in the league and he's still the exact same player her was when he was a rookie. Still can't score, shoot or get to the rim.

 

No way, unless you are a Tinman fan.

I made my point there already with him, I like the GARM more.

 

Look at his stats compared to Lawson. Men lie women lie numbers don't.

 

Because what we need is another starting PG to have a 0pt 0rb 5ast night. We already have Lawson to play that role.

 

I like George Hill now lol.

 

Ok Davidioioioioio.. tinman only fan lol

 

Signed Ty Lawson LOL.

 

can't play with harden. bring off the bench. how can he assist when he's is ball watching?

 

Under our system Rubio would come here and be relegated to a three point stand still shooter, something he cannot do. It's not the players it's more of a problem with system.

 

His shooting doesn't fit the team philosophy, but I'm not sure that philosophy actually fits this team. Rubio is a better fit if the Rockets get actual shooters (most notably a stretch 4). I think he would actually attempt to run the pnr with Dwight and can actually make an entry pass into the post. Also a better defender than Lawson with enough length to switch on defense (which seems to be the Rockets preferred defense...) All in all I was hoping for Rubio before the trade for Lawson, not sure Money is still interested (he should be )

 

there is no pg that actually wants to handle the ball who would fit next to Harden unless he willingly adjust his game to let a pg be a pg. it's that simple.

 

If you are looking for a guard to pair with James Harden, after the Lin/Lawson experiments and seeing the Rockets preferring Terry/Beverley, getting a "traditional PG" doesn't seem like the smart option.

The Rockets need to find a "young Jason Terry." Shooting combo-guard that can sometimes handle the basketball.

 

Mo williams would have been the perfect fit..

 

Shouldn't the definition of a super star be a player who can succeed in any system? How is Harden an MVP caliber guard when his play style is more restrictive than a Panda's diet? If there's only a handful of players who will be a good fit with your star, maybe your star is fool's gold?
