    It is frustrating that we have so much offensive talent, and it is underperforming so badly, we have to look for more scoring.

    Young has improved his defense this year. Lou Williams is a nice player but he has 2 more years left.

    Its as much as a brewer dump as it is adding a new scorer.

    LOL.

    Rodney Hood's name in that post tells you we are discussing moving Ariza.

    Exactly. I'd take an expiring contract if it just meant I wouldn't see that chagrined doof-ass smile: "Whoops, still can't make a layup, that's okay, got paaaaaaaaaid."

    I'd take Young last on that list and Martin first.

    Uhhh...is Thornton not a scoer off the bench? As many have said already...they should be looking for defense, not offense.

    Also Morey is officially drunk dialing other GM's if he is honestly thinking about Nick Young...

    According to his career averages... he isn't the same caliber as Lou Williams or Kevin Martin. There's a reason why Thornton has been on like 7-8 teams in his career.

    I'm not sure if Thornton is stirring the pot behind the scenes or is simply missing too many defensive assignments but it doesn't seem the Rockets are too high on him.

    So has brew. Dont lakers want space for two max and pay clarkson? I dont believe they will take on more salary for more years without compensation.

    Young is also a good guy. He has a bad rep but hes a good guy.

    i'd cry if they move ariza. not because he's one of my fav. rockets (the other being dmo), but because he's our most valuable asset outside of harden.

    How many names come in trade rumors involving Morey and how many times has he gone for the game that was rumored....?

    Is this your first day here or what?

    LOL we already have that guy in Thornton who is being under utilized

    Also, our starters have dung us into big holes several games this season. How about that? What about D?

    tbh, its an easy win. ONE of the things that we have a big problem with is 5 minute droughts with no scoring, this is usually when they other team gets a big lead and the team gives up. There might be other things that need to be addressed and I have no clue how this should even be necessary with both Lawson and Thornton coming off the bench, but we're here, and we need it.

    Ariza is no scorer off thebench. They got hayward they dont need ariza. What it tells me is that we are trying to take advantage of the jazz but the jazz isnt stupid.

    We look terrible on offense and defense.
    We can't fix both and I think the offense part is more easily fixed.
