Rockets will give up almost no one in playoff rotation -- Papanikolaou, Prigioni, Dorsey, Johnson -- along with 1st (protected) for Lawson.

He's a little overrated IMO, but no risk, at all here, they gave up nothing..low risk/high reward..
Can't believe they got him for scraps worse than the Lakers scraps :lolQuote:

The problem is Harden and Dwight...Harden is literally incapable of playing off the ball...and Dwight wont play defense unless he has the ball...Ty is good but unfortunately those two mental midgets will fuck it up...If Harden knew how to play off the ball like Clay Thompson the Rox could make some noise...
:lmao Denver traded a pick too
Nice Fleece job brehQuote:

Should take off a lot of pressure from Harden.

This was a homerun for Morey. He gets a very high caliber offensive player who is an extraordinary set up man. I mean they already had a WCF team with that fucking washed up argentuzos scrub starting in the playoffs. Rox have deep bench now too.
Couldn't even get Harrell from Houston. Sad, but kinda obvious given Lawson's recent issues.
ty is about to trade in the liquor for styrofoam cups of leanhttp://i61.tinypic.com/2akecd4.png
Should have Lawson as 6th man, would be huge for their bench unit and would maximize his impact..
indeed. and its not uncommon to have more defensive oriented starter and an offensive-minded backup... especially because harden already runs the OQuote:

Starting Beverley gives them 3 defenders with 3 role players that can make spot-up jump shots, and allows Lawson to create the entire offense for a bench unit that doesn't have any creators outside of occasional D-Mo post-ups..Houston's offense when Harden left the floor was one of their primary flaws, last year, IIRC..

I agree. Only thing is D-Mo likely starts.Quote:

He will do ok up till Allstar break...Quote:

Just to be clear, the Rockets pick to Denver is lottery protected in 2016. The Denver second rounder to the Rockets in '17 not protected.

only downside is Tywon is a UNC faggot who is of low moral fiber. but Rox willing to have a pedophile on their team so I imagine that didn't come up in the discussion. still potential to be brought down by the combined faggotry of that starting lineup though ala 2012 lakerz

Lawson's fit with Harden is questionable, but we shall see how much Harden can play off the ball.
Wonder when his suspension is handed down

Good. Another trip wire to keep Duncan holding that Bag.
So who's the odd man out here? Beverley? Jason Terry?
Also, the Rockets are in need of a center for when Dwert obligatorily takes off some games or gets in foul trouble. Looks like unproven backup Capela might be getting some minutes. The Rockets, however, should go after Javale McGee.
Keep all three. You can never have enough talent.Quote:

That does not seem much for a pretty solid PG. Hope the NBA consider altering the trade a little bit to make it more fair.

Know any full blown alcoholics with a spot in the rotation for a playoff team? Or on an active NBA roster for that matter? I'll wait.
Harden can still spot up shoot for a bit when Lawson has the ball. I'd just stagger them a bit and have Lawson in with Thornton more. Not even worried though. They are friends off the court and good players find a way to play together. It is a damn steal of a trade. Gave up literally nobody for a starter that puts the Rockets in top four in the NBA.Quote:

Lawson/Beverley/Terry
Harden/Thornton/McDaniels
Ariza/Brewer/Dekker
DMo/Jones/Harrell
Dwight/Capela
That is one deep lineup. Hope the young players continue to improve and Dwight stays healthy.
whats with rich athletes who has all this money, wasted it on shit when the avg person can spend less but get a better product...
hardens spends 25k to get laid, but look at those hoes...
d12 bastard guy with 5 bastard children
now with ty law a drunk...i wonder how much he spends on booze, let alone the brand his drinking to get drunk....not those 40oz drinks? isnt that diluted shit without the fizz?
Nice pickup by Morey.

Russell's not a point guard. He's Kobe's replacement more than anything. With Kobe not willing to go away anytime soon, Lakers are probably gonna screw up the kid's development by playing him out of position (not to mention picking up bad habits from Bryant).Quote:

They can vmbe dangerous, go deep in the playoffs, beat anyone at anytime, but something will rear its ugly head at the wrong time and they will be kicked out of the playoffs year after year, the entire thing will collapse due to egos and morey will have nothing to show for his genius.
They have some regard for team chemistry. Smith was labeled a "cancer" before he got to Houston. Now look at him.Quote:

Good pickup by the Rockets. Should use him as a 6th man, not a starter.
Perhaps it's just b/c I'm a Spurs fan and pay attention to what happens in the division but fuck man, it seems like Dallas, Memphis, and Houston make 20 moves an offseason to become better.
Yea I was thinking along the same line. :lolQuote:

Houston will probably be the 3rd best team in the west this season tbh. Lawson will add a nice dimension to their offense.
Wut?Quote:

Why not pick up J.R. Smith and see who leads the Rockets in Breathalyzer tests per season next year.
"ESPN sources say that the Lakers were also a determined trade bidder for Ty Lawson, but Denver clearly preferred what the Rockets offered"Quote:
