Gotta give morey credit for getting cp3 while still retaining Eric Gordon.


Still need to work on our bench but at least they kept the main contributor off the bench and 6th man of the year

Would y'all do Aldridge for Anderson? Both have disappointed this team and fan base.
I think we gotta go for Milsap

From what Spurs fans were saying, Aldridge is a highkey diva who acted like a lil bytch once he realized Kawhi usurped him as the #1 option. So now he'd come to houston where he'd be 3rd option and his lil long 2 mid range game is frowned upon.. while not adding much to our lack of interior defense..

Why? He wasn't even better than a chase budinger. I would never understand the Dekker hype. He was never goin out it altogether here in Houston. He barely showed flashes. He had that one great game against Memphis and that was it

Athletic, 6'9, and can shoot. Seemed right especially in our system.

that mid range won't be frowned upon after the spurs series. we need guys who make it consistently. i don't think the rockets have a problem with it other than most nba players don't hit the mid-range at a percentage that's worth taking it. in the press conference yesterday he was talking about how if you can shoot the mid-range like chris paul you can take that shot anytime. no one on the rockets would stop an aldridge from cooking in the mid-range. i don't want him anyway because he seems unhealthy these days.

i felt the same way when the season started. back then it seemed like he could shoot, but that turned out to not be the case. 32% from 3 when the vast majority are wide open corner ones isn't cutting it for me.

I just peeped that press conference, good looking out. They'd be foolish not to have Chris shoot the mid-range since he's a pretty good percentage shooter from there, or at least according to the % they mentioned.

Aldridge and his long contest twos tho..

I'm good with that. Guys like him and Pau Gasol.. i'm good with that. :hubie:

As in i'd rather go with someone not known for being soft and mentally weak, injured or not

Morey was on PTI talking about making this move to compete with golden state :stopitslime:

Like his team didn't getting their culo pulverized into the 4th dimension by a Kawhiless Spurs team :stopitslime:

The disrespect of talking about beating a team you never even was good enough to play in the playoffs will not be tolerated :stopitslime:

Spurs in 6...AGAIN :stopitslime:

the warriors are the champions, not the spurs. why would he say he wants to build a team to compete with a team that isnt even the best ?

Rockets get Love
Cavs get Melo
Knicks get.. Anderson? :picard:

This is a dream scenario for us but no way NY does that.

its a long shot but im just wondering would the fanbase be good with it. the knicks dont have much leverage here. buy him out and get nothing or make a trade and maybe get a pick and star a full rebuild. there is a salary floor so even without melo they have to sign someone dont they ? why not let it be andersen? he makes less than melo and will be expiring in a couple of years. idk just a thought
