Rockets sign Trevor Ariza to 4-year, $32 million deal

Kinda wish McRoberts was still available -- woulda been great next to Dwight. Ilyasova is a great plan C (or D) for a stretch 4

You make some good points. I actually want them to keep Asik. He mad so what. I think the cap hit is $8 million so Morey signed him to that contract _ pay him... Les got it. But that's a big hole to fill.

Morey isn't finished yet, still a long off-season. Lin may be covered and I do think Beverley can improve his shooting... I mean I hope.

I don't think Trevor is the 6th man player that puts us over the top. That 3pt percentage is fools gold he had last season.

 

How is it fool's gold? He had almost 450 three point attempts...you dont fluke your way to 41% off that many attempts.

You act as if people cant improve a skill over time.

 

Most importantly, a lot of them were spot-up threes (perfect for our offense)

 

Who gave me this anonymous rep for my above quoted comment?

"Stop. Posting. Now. You clearly don't know anything about basketball or the Rockets. I'm serious, stop posting."

Would like this person to elaborate, lovely when someone's hiding behind anonymous rep and doesn't have anything to say substance-wise, especially when he shows a lack of understanding of the game and has to resort to such a lousy rep instead of debating in the thread.

 

Words you will never hear me say, "I don't want KD." Lol... I bet Harden talks to him but I think Washington has a better chance. When a team like Washington starts making moves like this and saying KD's name specifically _ that means they know he is interested. That's his home area.

 

Did I receive the rep from haydenfisher? Matches his stupid one word per line posting style from yesterday.

 

I didn't say people _ I said Trevor. But maybe he'll keep shooting over 40% like you believe.

 

Oh, okay, I didnt realize that Trevor was immune to improvement. My bad.

Okay, well, he's improved his 3 pt % every year since the 2010-2011 NBA season...And even the previous year, he shot 36%, which isnt far off from what Chandler just produced.

I guess he'll just drop back down to 34% or less because you say so.

 

I got a rep calling me LOF because I hit a one liner and posted in a Jeremy thread for the second or third time.

 

Hell yeah. But we would have tried to take advantage of Ariza's expiring contract this year.

And I definitely wouldn't trade Lin, 1st, Parsons and Asik for Ariza and NO's pick.

 

You got hit with the LOF tag too. Man some of these reps are off the chains.

 

I'm quite happy rockets didn't get bosh. Remember a few years back how he didn't give a hoot about Houston. 80 mill was excessive for him. Parsons plays his heart out every time, I think 46 mill is slightly over his worth, but he'll play like he's worth it. Better to get stacked with good role players than single superstars, like bosh. Ariza has been impressive the last couple of years and he was a steal. Go Rockets!!!

 

It is over the worth, but he is still improving. He will never be a guy deserving of that contract, but the cap is going up in 2 years and it might be a less headache of a contract.

 

Sounds like Gregonomics.

 

I agree. Parsons would be better coming off the bench, but McHale has a love affair with Parsons. He will start Parsons and probably still have him playing 40+ minutes.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Oh god. The Parsons Only Fans are here!

And also this is another reason why I hate anonymous rep. People use it to bash you anonymously.

 

Yes, the people that rep and expect the other guy to rep them back will leave their names anyways, so that point about preventing rep cycles is not really good. Non-anonymous rep would be a way better solution.
