[Bleacher Report] NBA Teams That Need to Blow It Up This Summer

Well , if blowing it up means moving CP3 … I agree. But that's about all that has to go out the door. Him and his contract.

 

The only way to "blow it up" is to trade Harden.

 

You need Balloons to blow up. Without Balloons, how can you blow up?

I want nothing, I don't want Unrestricted Non Bird right. Unrestricted Non Bird Right is negative assets.

For instance, Bucks can offer Rivers or Faried $10 million dollars a year. 20 teams can offer Rivers $9.2 MLE. Morey can only offer him 5.7 million.

 

At least 10 teams are interested in Eric Gordon, who has nice round face with typical hairstyle. "blow it up" is to trade Gordon.

No team is interested in Paul and Capela contracts unless you exchange a bad contract.

 

Lol plenty of teams would take Capela and his deal. What you get in return tho is the issue

 

Ariza expiring or Knight expiring contract is more attractive than Capela. You can attached 4 first round picks to blow it up.

Capela can't blow it up.

 

Trade CP3 just so Harden can stand around at halfcourt while our new playmaker tries to initiate offense?

 

Harden is the goat in that case. Dude averaged 34 a game “standing around” at half court.

 

I was dumb to sign CP3 to begin with, especially the extension of a long term contract given Paul’s age and history of injuries. The fact is, Harden is a point forward that runs the offense. He needs to be surrounded by shooters, not small aging PG’s with an average 3-pt shot. That not CP3’s game. Yes, we need other guys that can create their own shot but I’d just assume trade Paul for a SF and backup combo guard. We need a guy like Darius Miller or Royce O’Neal. We could sign a minimum guy like D Rose as the back up or perhaps use the MLE on a guy like Rubio. Then trade Capela for a guy like Randle that can do it all, and this teams stands a chance of advancing in the playoffs.

 

One is not enough, need 2 stretch bigs.

 

I think you are ****ing with us the moment.

 

I like the players. I don't like the system. Isolation basketball is ultimately vulnerable in the playoffs. It is boring to watch even in the regular season, but it works. In the second season, it works for a while. Then you run into teams who defend well, shoot well, and pass like crazy. Ball movement finds the most open, highest percentage shot. Pounding the cover off the ball just bores me to tears. It works only a low percentage of the time. I wish the Rockets would dump this approach.

 

We could run back the exact same roster and assuming Golden State returns the same team as well, we’d be one of maybe only 3 teams capable of beating them.

No I’m not advocating we run it back.

I understand that there’s no award for being close, but the media acts like the Rockets have been an utter failure and I find that insulting. The Rockets have been right there in what statistically is a tiny sample size of games played. So yeah, Morey may blow it up, but let’s not act like we’re the ****ing Trailblazers here.

 

It's ALMOSSSTT as if the media wants the Rockets to blow it up.

Media conspiracy.

 

If we're blowing it up, then we'd better be trading Harden for Zion.

David Griffin is desperately trying to convince AD to stay, it wouldn't be impossible to get him to give up that pick.

CP3 can go play for the Lakers and with his best friend Lebron. I'm sure Lebron has enough power in that org to get it done.

 

Fully agree! The players would be fine if the system worked. It doesn’t. They need a new offense. A coach Change isn’t a move in the wrong direction. Then if we could add Butler (with a better offense) then I would expect a better outcome.

But honestly I like Harden at the PG. Dream would be Beal ,he would be perfect next to Harden.

 

He handled the ball 95% of the time. How does that bode well for the other 4 players watching him dribble?
