I was just thinking this might be a good idea, to let them start in the backcourt together in D-League and get some experience and consistent playing time. I think this might be smart for a little bit to start the season, barring any injuries of course.
NO i would rather them get famaliar with the current team and get some rubbish minutes esepcially Vspan, I think he is someone that thrives in high competition...sending him into dleauge will demotivate him, he wont work as hard..for lucas..i am not too sure
D league is for players without a team. No sense to put guys you like down there. Lucas looks alot better this year. If you don;t want Vspan on your roster they should have left him in Italy
spanoulis won't benifit from being sent to the D league. he doesn't need to develop his game much. he already has all the skills to succeed. he needs instruction from JVG and practice with his teammates.
Summer league play remember? He was averaging like 20 points and 7 assists. Sigh, I fear this may be remembered as one of Rockets worst free agent signings, I just hope JLIII will prove me wrong.
I had 6 season tickets to the Toros last year, and have not re-upped this year, BECAUSE.....JVG does not send anyone down to the D-league, he wants them to train under his regime. Last year, the ONLY player in Austin from the Rockets was Gerald Fitch, and he was only there a week before the Rockets waived him. Meanwhile other teams sent players down liberally, the Mavs, the Nuggets, the Clippers...... Just not the Rockets.....I am still trying to decide whether I want to get season tickets or just buy them game by game. DD
Its only 3 years and JLIII can play. It's not like he's Matt Maloney and signed for the next 20 years. He can add needed depth if/when the injuries start to happen.
Actually, I can think of 2 or 3 point guards right off just since the 90's that we signed to much worse deal. I think it was Moochie and Maloney (it was some white guy anyway). Either way, the Rockets have the luxury of making so many bad signings (Also see Mo Taylor, Cato) that anything they do now won't even make the top 10 worst signings list But seriously, it's not like we're paying him a ton, right? I mean the Swift pick up is tougher to swallow (in retrospect) that Lucas' will be, even if he doesn't turn out good.
JLIII sure, why not? One of the most redundant signings this season is Lucas. VSpan to D-League? Hell no. Anyone who proposes the idea is automatically on my hate list.
What makes this post even funnier is Rockets Dynasty's reputation as the most notorious troll/Rockets homer on the ESPN boards. Heh.
