I know he's retired but could we get the polish hammer to come in and back up cousins ? I feel like his personality is a clubhouse fit , plus hes only 37 !
While the Polish hammer is likely done it did make me think of players that would likely sign for a Vet min contract/possibly unguaranteed. Guys like Gortat, Joakim Noah, Marreese Speights, Demarre Carrol, and our hero Luc Mbah a Moute. I am sure there are others like this. I would probably prefer younger players with higher upside but those types of players are likely not signing for an unguaranteed vet min contract. I assume a guy like Ilyasova won't sign for unguaranteed vet min. Sounds like the roster may be set for now until later in the season. Will need a roster spot open for buyouts or the guys I just mentioned that can add depth and will likely still be available mid-season. Also, don't want to get in a situation where we have to decide between an old vet and someone like Queen, Jones, etc. Morey waived too many young talented players for old washed vets IMO so I am not for that but there is something to be said for having those old washed vets on your roster that help complete and round out a locker room.
Still available. But is it because he has no value or because he wants more than vet min? I'm sure he's in no hurry for a cheap payday.
Yep. But he is being signed by Jazz so there is still hope that Jazz release him in 3 months. Like Jeff Green.
An option for sure. Still prefer Bolden over Vonleh. Bolden is better ball handler/passer and his analytics profile is perfect for Rockets system.
True, but Vonleh plays with greater discipline. I still would avoid Vonleh because of Covid, even after he has a negative test.
Sure, but Vonleh's upside is what it is. And while Bolden has off court issues, what he does provide ON the court fits the Rockets system to a "T". Bolden could break out in right system and/or right role, like Wood did.
I'm not particularly attached to any of them. Although KJ was a significant investment for the Rockets, acquired via a purchased SRP. And I think BT and Queen have the best defensive upside, they are the 3-D prototypes. Mason Jones could be a Harden lite scorer, he patterned his game after the Beard's that is obvious. Jerian Grant is nothing special either.
