Rockets terminate two-way contract with Demetrius Jackson

Jennings is a selfish, inefficient, no defense, shot-chucking, turnover machine.

 

Is AB available?

 

Show me a team full of ball handlers 6’3” that have beaten the Warriors in a series.

Cavs did it with 3 iso guys in the form of Love, Kyrie, and LeBron surrounded by 3-point shooters.

Give me quick release guys who can shoot 3’s everywhere over predominant quote-unquote ball handlers.

Warriors full of athletes who are 6’6” to 6’8” and they dominate 6’3” and under ball handlers.

I still have my hair until proven wrong......unscalped

 

Please sign a damn veteran guard. Please Houston.

 

We will see what position Morey goes with.

Briante Weber is doing ok. All he needs is playing time. Pops showed a lot of patience in Jonathan Simmons.
Why because Pops knew he needed Simmons athleticism going into the playoffs. Kyle Anderson was given
tremendous time to develop by Pops as well.

Weber is a project for the future as most 2-way contracts are expected to be. If Weber had not been injured
in college....my understanding is Weber would have a steals record in college. He is finally getting points here
and there. He most definitely needs to get with a shooting coach in the offseason. Jackson never showed
me anything. Gary Payton II seemed pretty good as a project guy. Isaiah Taylor never showed defense
and only showed glimpses of the offense at the big level. Showed it more during what was D-league games.

I would stick with Harden/CP3/EGo/Weber....sign a vet on the low. Why, because the Warriors will put said PG
in the grind/Post Up mismatch again and again. Durant will eat most guys like Felder up for breakfast. That pickup would be a waste of money and time. This thread
is about the 2-way contracts though. Weber can remain one.

 

Meh

 

He gets a lot of steals and even blocks. No defense is an exaggeration. In MDA system he'd be very good due to all the space. He can finish at rim, stop and pop and hit the 3. Unlike Weber, he can make D pay on iso when a big switches.

Need a guy with ice water in his veins to come off bench and run MDA offense like a killer.

 

Who?

 

You're being very stupid. Nobody has beat the Warriors yet. We're taking about the third string pg here. Felder is not just a ball handler. He is a passer and a scorer.

 

Anderson was a "#1 Draft Pick", as Worrell would say. Rockets give their 1st round picks just as much patience, don't make Pops sound schpecial because he kept a rookie who was on a mandatory, 3 yr rookie scale contract. We are talking about 2-way deals here, and who the Rockets already have committed to rookie contracts.

All I'm saying is Morey might not even use his second 2-way, but if he does, the history so far is he fills his PG (and lessor extent SG) position via undrafted free agents. So, I seriously doubt he uses it on a position that we already have 3 draft picks playing at RGV. Zhou, Onuaku and Hartenstein -- and two of them already have guaranteed contracts.

You mean Felder?

 

No, what I’m saying is people are not giving Weber time to develop. Warriors paid for Jordan Bell. CP3 burned
him in our last meeting. Will the Warriors sit Bell for the rest of the.....no. The more Weber faces the Warriors
(and everyone for that matter) the better.

You said Morey May agree with Holic. I don’t see it that way. CP3/ Harden are two of the best facilitators ever.
Morey had Bobby Brown/D Jackson/Weber. If you were correct then Morey would have taken the PG slot more
seriously and had a vet or two, with 2-ways addressing other positions. You and I disagree with that notion.

I believe Morey agrees with me. Team full of SF’s with CP3/Harden as facilitators. Capela as your starting Center
with Nene backing up Capela. Now I’ve said bring in someone like CJ Watson....but I’m guessing Holic wants
to expend assets and cash for someone the caliber of a Bledsoe type. Dragic. Watson is just someone to get us
by in the case of an injury. I want another SF since Tucker/Luc are mostly solid defensive guys.

This is what is going to happen. Warriors are going to key on number 1 option Harden.
Then key on number 2 option of CP3. Getting the ball out of both players hands.
Option 3 of Capela or roll man Nene will be taken out.

For the most part “some” 3-Point shooters will be open. They may key on Gerald Green and Ariza.
This is how the Thunder had a lead on the Warriors. Durant was option 1.
Westbrook was option 2.
Roberson was designated option left open by the Warriors. He made the open 3 in the first 3-4 games.
But then went cold from 3. Ibaka was big in that series as well. He truly outplayed Draymond for the most part.

They will leave Luc MaM and Tucker and possibly Ryan Anderson will have more room to operate. One more
SF is all I need for flexibility if Tucker and Luc are struggling.

Now I’m not promoting 3 iso guys like the Cavs played. But smaller ball handlers are go8ng to get dominated
by the Warriors and their 8.4 blocks per game. Team is challenging the Washington mark of something like
8.9 blocks per game. D Jackson is reportedly not in the Rockets long-term plans. A 10-day contract
is just meant to buy time until they decide where they are going with the 2-way deal. The 2-way contracts
are guaranteed after 45-days. Rockets didn’t want to guarantee Jackson’s contract. Apparently they are
ok with guarantee Weber’s contract. Brown will be re-signed later in the season according to reports.

So you are saying they will use it on a PG other than Weber. I’m saying I’m hopping they use on a PF for
developmental reasons. Qi doesn’t qualify for 2-way contracts. Nor does Chinanu. Hartenstien is left
better in Europe to develop for financial reasons.

 

He sucks. Will be a non factor. Just because he is 5’9”.....that’s doesn’t make him Isaiah Thomas.

 

"Kyle Anderson was given tremendous time to develop by Pops as well."

This statement is completely false.

First of all, the Spurs are having lots of injuries and their coach also is a firm believer of resting players and he is also a very ignorant person whose always insist he is right, not saying he wasn't most of the time, but just point out his personalities.

Kyle Anderson has not proven he is even a decent NBA rotation player till this point and the Spurs won't lose any sleeps if he left for FA, just like Simons went to the magic and Andrew the Giant that left for Detroit.
