Harden/Thornton/McDaniels
Ariza/Brewer/Dekker

That is one deep lineup. Hope the young players continue to improve and Dwight stays healthy.
Wished spurs had this guy. Better to have a drunk pg that a 20 pound overweight pg.

whats with rich athletes who has all this money, wasted it on when the avg person can spend less but get a better product...
hardens spends 25k to get laid, but look at those hoes...
d12 bas guy with 5 bas 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 without the fizz?
You're gonna miss Smith. He was a solid, serious basketball player as he hunted that ring. You have to replace that. You can't just pretend it didn't happen.
We replaced his playmaking abilities with a guy who is better at it. Plus, improved the free throw and three point shooting of the team. I crigned every time Smith went to the line. I won't with Lawson. You just hope the young bigs continue to grow and produce.
Not much of an upgrade over Beverley imho. Houston is a good destination for this drunkhead, nonetheless.
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).
Pretty much. Does nothing for me personally, but t fans like DJohn will probably bust a nut over getting a scrub who plays no D and can't shoot.
You are right. Harden and Lawson will probably be staggered. Let Lawson start for show/respect. Pull him early so he can play more as the 2nd unit lead man. He can jack all the shot and play PG at the same time. Harden is honestly not a great spot up shooter.
The rox reminds me a lot of the jailblazers. Great talent, questionable character, no regard for team chemistry.
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.
It's an offensive upgrade, but a defensive downgrade, so it a wash. But Lawson needs the ball in his hand to be productive, and with the Rockets offense being run through Harden, it probably going to be difficult for Lawson to fit in.
That is why Beverly is the perfect PG for the Rockets. Great defender, but doesn't need to be ball dominate, so he doesn't mind deferring to Harden.
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 man, it seems like Dallas, Memphis, and Houston make 20 moves an offseason to become better.
Yea I was thinking along the same line.![]()
This. All in all could be a steal especially if we see the Lawson we saw early in his career the past few he has been unimpressive. and i watch him fairly close as UNC is my mistress NCAA team. Bruins (of course) my primary squad.
Houston will probably be the 3rd best team in the west this season tbh. Lawson will add a nice dimension to their offense.
Wut?
I know he's become a bit of a ball hog but Harden used to play with Durant and Chuckbrook for years. He had no choice but to play off the ball. His efficiency will probably go up because of Lawson being on the team instead of some ter like Lin or Beverley.
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"
and? I have long stopped caring what this FO is doing.
