Morey had not drafted well. It's s myth that he is a good talent evaluator. Hes traded away good role players in Morris Lin and a few others, let other walk in parsons He's been bad in the draft department we have no young talent tagt were grooming. All In all our team is screwed going forward it's going to be really hard to aquire talent to put around harden. Bev is cheap and a okay backup pg. Dom if we can resign him for 8m a yr I would keep, Harrell looks like a keeper but everyone else needs to go. It might be a blessing that deker hasn't played yet maybe he has some sort of trade value. I guess with Howard lawson jones Thornton and dmo coming off the books we will have a lot of cap room but who do we sign. I would go after horford and Kd as a package and if you can't get either just grab high iq players to surround harden. Money should trade for Ryan Anderson right now he's a free agent so even if you give up assets you can shed salary if you don't want to keep him after this year. Brewer/jones/ for Anderson? I think they might bite Throw in deker if you have too I think we can do it seeing as we're over the cap.
Not to be so simplistic and not to absolve the players because well, a lot of it is on them. But it all points back to the GM. Failed Lawson experiment? Coaching/Players Give Daryl/FO credit here, they didn't want Lawson or think he was a good fit. Not finding suitable backups? GM Cluster**** at PF? GM You got Smith back even though he's not a long term solution but you told him you had no role for him (so he left) and you went into the season with a guy coming off back surgery, Terrence Jones & a rookie in Montrezl Harrell? Seriously?! Not incorporating Howard? Coaching/Players Not prioritizing coaching? GM Too reliant on threes but no shooters? GM Now who decided they wanted a puppet head coach? GM
Indeed!! Also, with regards to incorporating Howard, how about Howard refusing to run the pick-and-roll? This is more on Dwight than anybody else. He constantly whines, pushes guys in the back, complaints to referees and gets himself out of the game more often than not. We have Harden who is also not a strong person mentally so it's time to move on from thinking these 2 can get it done. I would add a point: not valuing role players, but chasing that third star. This is the biggest failure by the GM. The biggest from the players and coaches is another point: not committing to defense.
You and me. We know. The Real curse starts when you break up with a Kardashian. They didn't believe me.
OP repped for a good thread and post. My choice is coaching. Defence goes back to coaching. Too reliant on 3s, not incorporating Dwight after so many years and the Lawson situation => all have a common factor = coaching. And this is the Gm's fault. And also not holding Harden accountable ever since he got here, by demanding him to play defence and requiring him to also continue to play off the ball. The coaching issue is not just this year , it's just that this year it has showed it's ugly results.
This is the only pathetic move Rockets organization did to save this season. Lololololololol. I hate this organization.
Hiring McHale to begin with and then not firing him after the Portland Series Hiring ****ty puppet coaches who don't hold Harden accountable and letting him do whatever the F he wants Forcing the team to play through a spreadsheet and GMing the coach Drafting first round busts like WHite, Dekker, Mook over Kawhi So basically, it all comes down to Morey at this point
