WOW. At this point even I could go play with Westbrook and then put the blame on him for being godawful. Aren't people getting tired of blaming it all on him? Was it his fault Melo didn't defend, couldn't move, couldn't shoot?
The 'juggernaut' added damaged goods. I'm not convinced DMC is going to the same player. He may be the same HEAD CASE, but achilles tear is one of the most devastating injuries. We'll see if he even sees the floor next season. THAT being said, losing Ariza AND LBM is a true blow. We should not have let Luc walk. However, he didn't seem the same after his shoulder injury. He could be damaged goods as well. Hard to justify paying him when his shoulder could come off at any time
I can argue Mbah played no factor vs GSW (just look at his plus/minus) and Ariza left for more money. Nothing Morey could've done about it. Have more faith in your team, it's July 9th.
Yall need to relax , Tucker will play the perimeter defense on wing players while Melo coasts on the other teams 4 position.
The only way to have Ariza was paying him 15 MM. So I say no to that. Luc didn't want the vet minimum (After he dissappeared from the playoffs) So I say no to that. I think you can replace the both of them. I think both CP3 and Harden can make Melo a WAY more efficient player.
yeah ok. as of now the rockets defense is horrible. hilarious, this is what you melo backers wanted. yall about lie in your melo is great posts
if the offseason was going to end up like this. the rockets should of just paid ariza 15 mil to compete for a championship for another year. rockets are worse now without a doubt. instead of getting closer theyre even farther back now
it wont. theres always the group of posters with their scapegoat excuses. they have no understanding of any accountability. with their tunnel vision is makes the board laughable.
Adding a bum who stands all day, demands the ball a lot, shoot his midrange bricks, and plays no defense the entire time
So let me get this straight.... You think paying Ariza 15MM would have been worth it? What is happening to this board??
if LMM was leaving and the alternative was forcefully pick up a washed up melo, of course. its for 1 year. you act like its your money. you ened up with the same starting 5 and find a replacement for LMM. now its you have to replace ariza and Moute. Melo being the joke of a replacement for these guys? give me a break
I actually agree. It's reason for concern, but not reason to throw in the towel. Let's see what Morey can do now. Last year, nobody saw PJ or Luc ending up on the team.
So we need to create a thread for all the Melo haters once he comes in and averages 18pts/6reb/3ast. Melo replaces the offensive impact Trevor and Luc had combined. We just need to add a defensive stopper and we straight!
Bro im starting to wonder if you wwtched the rockets during the season. The man was hurt in the playoffs..he couldnt even hit a lay up. Of course he was a scrub. The people here hope was he would be healthy n back to his good player self
NO it's not my money. But just because the money doesn't come out of my pocket doesn't mean that I'm okay with spending it foolishly. And technically.. I DO PAY with my season tickets.... so yeah... I definitely didn't want to watch Ariza bricking more 3s....
