Welcome Kelly Olynyk

Cannot wait to see you leave, sorry..

 

Hey!

A white guy that might actually be good enough to play for the Rockets!

I can't wait for Badass-Ryan-Anderson to suit up!

 

He's a capable rotation player on an average playoff team - not a stud, but serviceable for 15 low-leverage minutes a game.

In other words, a perfect insertion in the starting lineup for a tanking team.

 

Where's the option for the next buyout candidate?

 

I like his game and have wanted the Rockets to acquire him in the past, but I wish he was 3-5 years younger. And I hope this doesn't prevent DJ Wilson from getting some minutes, since he's a RFA, and it'd be nice to know what we have in him.

 

hoping this is the end of the disastrous small-ball experiment as well

 

Seriously. I feel like including spanning back to last season even with Harden, most of our loses are just from not being able to get god damn defensive rebounds and letting opposing teams get offensive rebounds and extra possessions like crazy.

One of the dumbest philosophy moves by this origination other than trading for Westbrook.

Seeing midgets trying to out rebound Anthony Davis was hilarious and pathetically sad.

 

Guy plays with a lot of heart. He should compliment Wood at the center-Power forward position very well.

 

Some of Ya'll cold blooded.

He's traded and I don't think he (or his family) had a say in the matter.

Look forward to see how he fits with the tanking. Maybe a change of scenery. He 6'11", maybe stop the rebound lopsidedness.

 

This. Feel bad he has to come to this shithole organization. Free him & Avery Bradley. (And South Beach >>>> Galveston Beach)

 

Doesn't really matter right now as Tillman is under the luxury tax. As per usual Landry's operations, as long as you're under the luxury tax, any move works. Large money-laundering services like Landry's spend a lot to look expensive. There's always an overall cheapness factor.

 

The plan worked for the Astros... why spend the money to be mediocre?

 

The dude has always got the most out of his skillset by playing hard. He can outplay more skilled players because of his work ethic.

 

Reminds me of Jim Petersen. Maybe it's the hair? But, his moves to the rim for dunks also.

 

I think people will like him once they see him around a while. He's not a bad player. I would like the trade a whole lot better if I thought there was any chance we would keep him around for a couple of years, but I fully expect him to bolt after the season. Maybe sooner if Tilman decides not to pay him his bonus that is coming up pretty quick. If that happens, it will just confirm everything we think we already know about the owner...

 

Not terrible how long is his contract? We will know if the Rockets value him by paying his incentives.

The guy needs to start and put Tate on the bench...he is too short for the PF position and cannot shoot 3's yet for the SF position. Awesome player but he need him and Nwaba coming off the bench. We need real size if we want to play with the big boys

 

His sister?

 

He's a decent 3-point shooter. Once he hits a few threes ppl will warm up to him. Some of yall really out here being picky ...right now? Just roll with it bruhs.

 

Kelly Olynyk is young rich guy who plays basketball for a living. Lucky b*stard.
