He doesn't have an explanation he just said its not his job to make the impossible possible it's Morey's LOL
He could have traded Beverly for Cp3, Harrell for Lebron and Dekker for Kawhi according to OP. How? It's Morey's job to think of that lol
I posted this before the MCW news that the rockets should go after a guy like Jeff Green. He atleast fits the mold per say of what the rockets do. Theres absolutely nothing that mcw as a player does that fits this team and probably one of morey's worst moves by far
MCW was signed for the minimum..... if he is "one of the worst moves" then that says something about how good Morey is as a GM. I would be fine with Green, but he isn't a good player...... he doesn't shoot well from 3, he doesn't rebound and he doesn't defend well. He is 6'9" which is nice from a size perspective, but that is about it.
the $ part is no excuse for an acqusition. I dont look at it in those terms. if a player sucks, they suck and trying to justifying it with hes signed for minimum isn't a logic that helps a team actually win. Green isn't that good of a player but he still would contribute a whole lot more in limited minutes than anything mcw does. mcw is just a body on the floor that hou is forcing themselves to play atm. Green's a athletic, versatile vet and can hit from 3 at a decent clip. its widely understood that rubio would not be a ideal fit on this team, yet people actually tried to make themselves believe mcw was going to be? mcw is even worse than rubio
You should look at the asset allocation of a player when assessing their value. The Rockets have nothing invested in MCW. He is someone that is capable of defending multiple spots on occasion, that is it. That is why he cost the Rockets........ the minimum. Of course Rubio is a better player than MCW, and he costs exponentially more than MCW as a result. I have no real problem with MCW being on the back of the bench. He is paid based on his anticipated performance within the industry. I don't really think that Green would be helping anymore either, like MCW, he has a track record of being a low level performer. If you have a problem with the Rockets not using their limited assets on a back up guard like Tyus Jones, then I can understand that. However, based on the limited options out there for the back up guard spot, attacking the signing of MCW is really odd to me.
i don't find it odd at all. the rockets went the route of not paying the likes of proven players that were within a game of the nba finals, while filling it with "value" journeyman that aren't good. Green has actual attributes the rockets can use. MCW does not The invested logic is just weird. What they have invested is a wasted year of harden/cp3 and the rest of this rockets older team and get that much further away from a championship
CP3 trade was great . Talking about missing Harrel is stupid. But 2018 moves are the problem. Again, not resigning Ariza was a big mistake. Why not a 3 years 30 million contract. Carmelo for the minimum is Ok, but he cost us Bzedelik. Our Team need a bench, we need more bigs. Ennis is Ok, but he is not a starter. This was a Terrible offseason .
I still say we're getting ahead of ourselves. Ryan Anderson's dogs*** contract was turned into two players whose absence either hurts the rotation or, more likely, indicates a near-future trade. Draft picks can be used, perhaps EGO. A better starter at either forward slot will also solidify the bench (and a better backup option for CP3 for those occasions when a player spits on him).
Jesus Christ. So every thread today gonna be like this? The sky has already fallen? No one knee jerks like Clutchfans knee jerks
3 games into the season and already questioning the Great Morey. Yes Melo need his own team, but he will eventually find his role. Cp3 is an allstar, he is unfortunately out for a few games. We have star power but still have a few gaps but you play with what you have.
Im alluding to the common belief that our gm is genius, because thread asks if he is overrated. Im not comparing him to Divac type of GM but to the top ones like Ainge and Presti
Morey is one of the best GM's in sports and certainly in the NBA. Yes he hasn't won the big one yet, but he will. All i know is we are lucky to have him and we are not gonna upgrade at the GM spot.
Damn y’all need to give this team time to gel. 1. First off they are in cruise control and need to pick it up. 2. The reason the moves don’t make sense because Morey is playing 3 Dimensional chess while everyone else is playing checkers. Who in the league saw Melo at the 5? 3. Yes, maybe the moves work on paper but not in reality but Morey has done enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. I’ll make judegments at the 20 game mark.
The owner being cheap has nothing to do with Morey as a GM. I think he wanted to sign Ariza and Luc but financially could not. Also please explain how we trade for CP3 without Lou Williams needed his salary to match contracts.. Morey tried to keep Motrez but clippers wanted him.
Morey probably underestimated the shift in the league dynamics. Every team saw our playbook and they're doing a better job at its implementation. Now, I think every team is using the Rockets and Warriors as vindication and have circled our games. So we should expect the best from every team every night.
