About damn time. He was the worst starting PG in the league the last couple seasons. Can't dribble, can't create, can't pass, can't drive, no vision, overrated D, zero creativity, when his 3 is off which is often since he's no marksmen he's virtually worthless. Oh and to top it all off he's very injury prone and seems to get hurt in the most critical times. Sounds harsh but it's true. Nothing against Bev and I salute him for making it his far with a severely limited skill-set and natural talent but hard work only takes you so far. Wish we could keep him as a backup at 10-15 mpg but this move will be for the better.
I don't see why, I think it would be ideal for both to be moved to back up positions, I mean with the cap increase both are on backup role player contracts anyways. Both stretch the floor and play defense, why not keep 3&D players on fair contracts for depth?
He gone? Well bye bye. More of a problem than a solution. Hopefully it's a fire sale(minus beard of course).
Guys, I think I figured out what Bev meant when he told OP "I'm gone". Beverley was just really, really high. That's why he was eating Domino's pizza with OP.
Am I the only posters on Clutchfans.com that is not a friend of a player on the Rockets????? I aint got not sauces. Confirmed
No! That's why we're both up at 2am crying our eyes out cus we ain't got no sauces or Rox player friends. Sign Silas & I'll be a friend of his.... whether he likes it or not! :grin:
Trade Bev for 1st rd pick so we can draft Zhou Qi aka Jerry Lin's cousin. Les gonna get his money from Chinese and we get a second shot at a poor man's Yao.
That's what i'm starting to think...honestly i thought that one or two between Pat, Trevor and D.Mo would have stayed here but... what if we are underestimating the chance we can sign three top free agents? How real is this chance if we literally clear the house?
He cannot possibly know that and I highly doubt anybody from the organisation told him they are going to trade him..maybe he's gone as in 'gone mental'.
You just said why. They are backup players on a great team. But unfortunately for us they represent about half the players we have on the roster that have some positive trade value. Bev, Ariza, Capela, Harrell, and DMo are about the only guys we can trade for at value without taking back long term salary or including an asset on our end to move them. And their trade value will decay into the next season as they move towards expiring contact status while aging past 30. Bev won't get us a first rounder. We may need to clear Bev/Ariza just to have enough cap for one free agent if Dwight opts in.
