    I see the sparks of people beginning to say Dragic should start by seasons end.
    mainly he brings length.
    His stats this year . . . and career wise are nothing special .

    I guess . . i am a bit more reserved . . not joining the CATO-izing of players
    [thinking their potential is all world]

    I think he will improve but I think Lowry will too.

    If thabeet turns out to be half the player cato was, I'd be happy, considering his play thus far.

    They should play tThabeet heavy minutes at backup. Its now or never for that guy. Throw him in and see how good he can play with steady minutes. Maybe he needs steady minutes to build back up his basketball skills and rythm. Some people need to play in order to stay good. Dragic needs immediate backup duty minutes to Lowry. No practice excuses for holding him out of games. He needs to play right away. Twill needs his minutes too. Forget about experimenting with Lee at SF. You got that young here for the sF spot so give him his minutes too. Thats what he is here for and he already has a history of performing under big minutes.

    Adelman doesnt give these guys we obtained significant minutes?
    Twill
    Dragic
    Thabeet
    Patterson

    From this point on in the season? He should not be coaching the Rockets. He is definately not the coach for what Morey is doing and they conflict with each other what they want to accomplish. Its not a good coach bad coach thing. Its a fit for what the franchise is doing and their direction now.

    Sure if he can get wins? By all means play others more minutes. If its same results? Give those young guys their shots on a losing team.

    If we were playing streetball you could throw the new guys in and let 'em play right away.

    We aren't playing streetball.

    They are not thrown in. They are given backup minutes which is hardly thrown in.

    It's a process of contract buyout
    • Player get waived
    • Player on waiver for any team to claim his contract
    • If player clears waiver he is paid agreed buyout amount
    • The player may sign with the team of his choice at this point
