How likely though is that Brewer gets benched? He always gets minutes somehow. I still am sceptical about DMo's minutes even if Dekker would sub Ariza.
Please Morey! match it! Worst case is chemistry impact, we release the guy and get out of the contract next year. Cutting losses is the best possible outcome here.
We need to match. Bottom line. Helps us in the long run. A lineup of Capela and Dmo at the 4 and 5 will be needed some nights... even Nene and Dmo would be good for offense.
I wonder if this situation is in play too at this point A little bit more here http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/woj-gentile-ready-to-play-for-the-rockets.275619/page-10
That will never happen unless Anderson is injured. I think Anderson is the best shooter I've seen for the Rockets. Amazing range and accuracy that spreads the floor allowing an interior attack.
D'Antoni: "Corey, I'm afraid you're going to be benched. I'll give your minutes to Dek." Brewer: "Well, s***. Trade me, then." D'Antoni: "Hey, we've tried. Morey's developed brain cancer from so much smart phone usage, just talking to GMs. He has the word 'Samsung' permanently pressed into his ear. No one wants a hyperactive ferret who just drank 12 espressos." Corey: "Well, then" (pulls photos from pocket, shows to coach) "what about these shots of you and Les at the Blue Oyster Bar?" D'Antoni: "Oh, God.....er, like I said, Dek's gonna sit. YOU'RE MY MAN!"
The only drawback to matching is that we might lose some development time for Dekker and Harrell and both are playing well at the moment. Of course, DMo might bust and we end up paying $9M for three months of basketball, but it's not my money. Otherwise, it's a very team friendly deal with little risk. If he's healthy, he'll be a great for depth for our always injured frontcourt. Plus, he could be a great trade asset next year, where I think the real opportunities will be.
Nah, more like we cut two player between Brown, Ennis, Wiltjer or we make a 2x1 trade and we just cut one of them.
This kind of time is usually reserved for PR purposes, which makes me doubt we're matching. Matching is simple and there isn't much to consider here considering they've been gauging the situation for months. Hope I'm wrong.
It could be good information, and Morey could be swayed the last second, Oh well, I had a change of heart......
