    their supporting casts be good imho, they just don't have no franchise player. dem be stuck in a horrible contract and a more horrible contract.
    The Goods. Basically without a superstar any team is ed and will be mediocre. It takes either luck, a desirable market/team, sucking, or a shrewd move to a get a franchise level player. Like when Heisley went over Wallace's head and made the move to trade for Zach Randolph and then got lucky Randolph finally put it all together. Or when the Lakers got gifted Gasol for scrubs etc.

    lol blindly defending Morey

    Morey has made no effort to get a franchise player. He's assembled a team of role players no different than Sarver and his front office gang of idiots.

    Memphis asked the Rockets to select Rudy Gay for them. And he's MASSIVELY overpaid now


    So you'd rather have the current pile of scrubs over Rudy right now?

    Rudy is a stat padder with a superstar contract. His contract is untradable, so no I don't want him.

    Plus the fact that no superstar wants to play for this team for multiple reasons.

    1.) No other stars
    2.) Reputation of front office
    3.) History with injuries

    How can you confidently say things that you obviously have no idea if they are true or not? Are you in on every call that Morey and Sarver makes? Morey tried desperately to get Bosh (), made every attempt to trade for Melo, and nearly pulled off the deal for Deron Williams. Problem is that Denver and Utah both wanted their guys to go to the East, severely hindering our chances at them.

    Hating on Morey is just cool nowadays. I get it. But the dude has done the best job possible in a ty situation.

    "Nearly" seems to be a common theme with him

    I don't think sending some caravans full of filthy Houston locals to follow Bosh around is really trying "desperately"

    He pushed hard for Bosh. Everyone knows that. He was at his doorstep at midnight of free agency. He made his pitch first. I'm sure he stayed in contact. Bosh already made his mind up to join the Heat, those 3 really ed up what was supposed to be an awesome free agency.

    Point is, Morey did not join the team with a blank slate, he joined a team with Yao and T-Mac taking up a lot of cap space. This is the first season that We won't have either on our pay roll. He has collected a cast of 5 2009 picks with the option to let them go after the season. We have 3 draft picks coming in with rookie contracts. Scola should be rather easy to move. Martin could be dealt to a team like Chicago pretty quickly. We just shipped off Brad Miller's fat ass to Minny for Flynn on a rookie contract. He's made the roster very flexible, be it for free agency next year, or if we just want to abandon ship and tank. All the while, we are still a fairly solid team.

    yes, that's what I meant by fairly solid. I'd consider Phoenix to be fairly solid too. Maybe I should reword it. I'm saying they don't suck, but they aren't nearly good enough.

    I agree. He's the one we should be pointing our finger at.

    lottery = suck

    Phoenix isn't fairly solid. A team full of role players using a gimmicky system isn't solid.

    Fair enough. But I'd consider a team over .500 to be at least a tier above the likes of Minny and Detroit.

    Back to the OP, the report is that the Rockets are offering Jordan Hill and Hasheem Thabeet for Biedrins. So basically we wouldn't be giving anything to GS, just taking his ugly contract off their books. Don't know if I would want that, but it's going to be depressing if our starting center is still 6'6 this year.

    The ONLY way they take that deal is if GS throws in a first rounder, otherwise no deal. Biedrins is injury prone, can't score, and is overpaid.

    Yeah, don't call Morey average or you'll get this one re on here up your ass about it saying your his BFF or something. Like a GM whose team he built consistently goes around .500 is certainly not average.

    Of course some re s don't like advanced stats because Jim O'brien realized 3>2.

    Maybe I'm not explaining that properly; its like Jim O'Brien liked three pointers and he used them a lot because they're worth more than 2s even though every advanced stat guy pointed out that TS% is a better indicator. That way horrible TS% guys like Antoine Walker don't get a complete green light. But then if O'Brien isn't the reason you don't like them its because people who use advanced stats are nerds. Or something like that.

    I don't know really. The whole explanation is confusing. Something about dorks in their mom's basement or something.
