For that to happen, you need all teams to work together and selflessly hardball the Magic until they hand Dwight over to the Rockets. Is that how you see this working out? Leverage is the same as Denver, NO and Utah had - high demand, low supply. (or maybe you are just rating the Rockets' rookies extremely high, and it seems like a good deal to you. in that case it's an entirely different discussion, obviously.) well, that won't work the way you suggest. neither contract will be big enough to take back bad salary. you could trade them both/delay other multiple pieces. possible, why not. Using Motiejunas = more flexibility in creating the trade. Not the only option.
I contacted Feigen through Twitter and asked him about Berman's report. He DM'd me this: Then I asked him what signing our rooks meant for Dwight, here's his response:
Tony Mejia @TonyMejiaNBA Rockets announce that Jeremy Lamb has signed his rookie deal, too. Earliest he can be traded is now officially Aug. 26. BOOM
Man, this team may not have a superstar, but they sure do have a superstar group of youngsters. A guaranteed match-up nightmare.
I hope you mean it in the sense that other teams will be able to easily take advantage of our inexperience but somehow i don't think that's what you meant
Of course, early in the season, but as it progresses, i expect them to pick it up a bit. I'm expecting a little bit of a run after all-star break.
Not really. I fully expect them to fall on the behinds early. They will have a big problem with turnovers. With so many rookies, there is going to be a lot of mistakes, but as a fan, it helps to know this going in. It's just the future of this team that really excites me.
No I agree 100% I couldn't care less about the W/L's. I am going to be watching for development and growth and improvement. It will still be an exciting season and I already have the schedule downloaded onto my Ical. I just think some people will be angry once season starts with the number of losses, I couldn't careless. It is always fun for me to watch something grow from the very beginning. I watched every OKC game once they picked KD and the growth that they showed in those 4 seasons was impressive but I remember how ugly things were when it was just KD and then just KD and Russ. Obviously you understand what I am getting at, I just think others are getting there hopes up way to high.
Doesn't sound as mean as he looks. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/59gFAkqJC78" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Yea just a young kid now.I think he's gonna be a very high character guy and a beast on the court in a couple of years.Good chance TJ6 will be considered the steal of this draft one day.
It's official, all three rookies signed http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/rockets-sign-2012-first-round-draft-picks
