It seems we are going in circles: 1.) Hot young point guard, every one is excited. He blows up, everyone is on his bandwagon. Gets hurt, people are down on him. He gets disgruntled and traded, and we go to the start. 2.)Morey says we have the assets to get a superstar. Everyone is excited. We get real close, but then the other GM realizes our assets are just not that good. We are left at the alter and the circle starts the next year. 3.) Morey has a deal to move up and is this close, and then someone comes in at the last moment and steals the prize. Next year we hear the same story.
We get the 14th pick, we draft the 6'9 F, people think he's the next great thing to come along, he isn't, Rockets get the 14th pick again, draft the 6'9 F, people think he's the next great thing to come along, he isn't, Rockets get the 14th pick again.....what do you think happens next? It seems we are going in circles.
Then, when we break the circle and get better the player is either injured or signs with LA or NY. Gotta love the NBA.
There is somebody named Motiejunas, 7 foot tall and a natural PF, who will be here next year if there is PT.
The end game for now is to land a superstar. Until then, expect this circle to continue. Morey is doing a good job of collecting 'assets,' but the problem with this formula is the longer it takes to land that superstar, the more your current team will feel uncertain about their time on the team. This is bad when trying to hold on to and maintain value for your collection of good, young role players with potential.
Yeah yeah yeah I know. List goes on and on... Bosh, P.Gasol, M.Gasol, Dwight, Deron, Carmelo, Chandler, Nene, Gortat, Paul
This time it's different, it seems more players and agents were unhappy with McHale. I can understand because last year Martin was a certified 30-40 minutes players, this year sometimes played 10-20 if he didn't perform. I can understand from a player's perspective that if you have proven yourself, you should get the confidence from a coach regardless of a bad game / bad couple of minutes. McHale seems to have failed to give players confidence, something RA did very well. Maybe that's the reason he didn't play the bigs at the end of games or automatically go with the veterans. Very troubling..also with possible free agents coming here or possible trades. This year is going to be the hardest for Morey, let's see what he can do
That's a big if. A tall, long armed, and super athletic big is exactly the type of player teams drool over.
I wouldn't mind drafting him, but he's not the true PF we've been looking for. He's more lamar odom, in other words, a SF.
Yes it is. Only Morey doesnt deliver this time. I would say Lowry is a more sought after prize than Aaron Brooks this time. This time Morey is armed with two first round picks. If he cant do it now? He never will. Time to move on from Morey that means.
Don't like the circle? Then tank ******* it. Everyone here complains that we never get better... its because we're always getting the 14-16th picks in the NBA draft and barely missing the playoffs. No playoffs experience for young guys and no good enough draft pick to get young guys that matter. This trend of mediocrity is absolutely stupid.
