Somebody's still pissed.
You should be pissed at Morey's spectacular failure.
Why? Because Riley got desperate and threw Bosh an extra year?
Because the summer was a spectacular failure.
Just to spell it out for you...
Lost Asik, Lost Lin and a 1st rounder, Lost Parson, all of which was set in play for the Rockets to get a big name FA like Bosh or Melo and possibly still keep Parson or trade him for someone like Rondo.
All Houston got was Ariza. Talking about blowing your load prematurely. The worse FA debacle IMO this decade thus far.
Summer isn't over yet.
You're right. Maybe he'll be able to raise his grade from F to D+.
They weren't getting anything back for Lin, no matter what. The pick for Asik is valuable. The mistake was not trading Parsons for Rondo last season, and the only way you match that horrendous contract is if you get Bosh or whoever, and they didn't so no reason to overpay and not be able to make any moves after. Parsons and Harden on the perimeter does not work, Ariza is the better defender and rebounder which is an upgrade since they don't have problems scoring. Lastly, Parsons was not playing another season while making less than a million. Sorry.
This. I guess he didn't realize Dallas met with Melo too.
Parson had to play no matter what. If he sat out, he would still be under contract the next season. If Morey had kept Asik, Lin, and Parson, they probably could have traded them to New York for Melo.They weren't getting anything back for Lin, no matter what. The pick for Asik is valuable.

His first mistake, trading Asik too early, 2nd mistake not picking up Parsons, 3rd mistake giving up Lin before finalizing a deal w Bosh.
Morey f up was monumental. Ariza is like putting a bandage on an amputated arm or leg. Stops the bleeding but it doesn't make up for the losses.
Say what you want about Lin and Asik, but those two were the Rockets two best bench players last year. Not saying Parsons/Lin/Asik are as good, but based importance to each team, this is equivocal of the Spurs losing Kawhi, Manu and Diaw and getting Ariza in return. Spurs wouldn't sniff the WCF if that happened.
Rockets could not finalize a deal with Bosh until they gave up Lin, they didn't have the room. Bosh gave a verbal committment and even spoke with Rockets players and coaches down to the last hour. Parsons' situation would have been ugly and played into the locker room. He most likely would have demanded a trade, and even then who will trade for a rental who is seeking a max contract and unlikely to re-sign? No one is giving up assets for that. Trading Asik too early makes no sense. He was gone anyway and they needed cap room, he should have been traded last year. CROFL Lin was not their best bench player, and Asik hardly played during the year and barely contributed. When he did play, he pouted.
Yes, they could, just like Gasol is finalizing his deal before the Bulls have even amnesty Boozer. They just couldn't submit it to the League office until Lin was traded and cap was cleared. Should have waited until Bosh signed the dotted line before trading Lin.
Parsons bird rights would have been traded to any team picking him up. They could have paid Parson's more than anyone and if another team wanted to overpay him, they could have just S&T traded him next year for assets as well.
Not having Asik, Morey lost a trade chip in packaging a deal for Melo. With the Knicks losing Chandler, they would have love to get Asik. Lin is a crowd favorite in New York and Parson would replace Melo at SF. Getting Parsons for a cheap contract would have been the chip in getting a team like the Knicks to take on the 15m payments own to Lin and Asik this year.
Lin and Asik proved in the Playoffs they were the Rockets best bench players. Please tell me who was better than them.
Keep on spinning this , but everyone knows this was an Epic Fail on Morey's part.
Losing Lin and a later first round pick are not losses. Litte value anyway.
Troy Daniels was clearly the Rockets best bench player in that series.
Melo did not want to come here. That point is moot. Troy Daniels was the best bench player in the playoffs. Aaron Brooks was the best bench player in the regular season up until he was traded. Also, the Cavs cleared space by trading Jack to make room for LeBron. You cannot sign a max contract before clearing space.
Just keep on spinning this and digging that hole deeper. Pelican fans saying Daniels is the best and had only one good game out of 6.

He is setting himself up to be the scapegoat putting the pressure to be a star. If he doesn't delivery the mavs fans will eat him alive
Please, they've never ate a pinky off The Cubes and he told them to "get lost" when they wanted him to defend their le.
They're piss pots.
He didnt played in two, I think you are trying to troll.
shows he played in 4 games. 1 good game and 1 decent game where he hit that savior shot i believe, but yeah he's reaching right now lol
He played in 4 games. I watched every game that series. Look at this stats for Game 6 and a must win game for Houston. -13 in 9 minutes. If he is Rockets best bench player then the Rockets are in for a long season next year.
Troy Daniels, SG 9 0-2 0-2 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -13 0
Troy didn't really play up until his game with the big shot. That was when mchale shook things up trying to find a different rotation. I think he had one other decent shooting game besides that if I remember right. I think he just needs some consistent minutes next year to be a decent bench guy.
Asik is a huge loss for them puting him up against aldridge instead of jones really did help slow him down.
Lin had some bone head turnovers that probably cost houston the series but he got to the hoop at ease and did a good job finding Dwight and daniels for his game sealer. Lin ate mo up the whole series.
Parsons has alot of potential however it's probably good morey let him walk I think ariza for cheaper is a better bang for the buck.
You might not see much in Troy Daniels but most rockets fans I talk to see him as a rotation player this upcoming season.
All they really lost was Lin. Which in my opinion is addition by subtraction.
