David Griffin doesn’t think Houston’s roster fits, and may have taken a significant step backwards.

    Griffin was the Cavs’ general manager for three seasons and helped guide the franchise to its first title in 2015-16 over the Golden State Warriors. The current NBA TV analyst thinks the changes the Rockets made this summer will hurt them in the long run.

    Is Griffin a better GM than Morey? 3 seasons 3 NBA Finals

    How many roster moves did Griffin make (or attempt to make) while in Cleveland to better augment the roster to play to LeBron's strengths to put them in the best position to win a title?

    I find Griffin's specific premise to be flawed considering his own track record.

    David Griffin says:
    Melo is considered one of the worst defenders in the league and a high-volume isolation player.
    MCW doesn’t really fit Houston’s offense because he’s not a good perimeter shooter by any means.

    Not real interested in David Griffin's opinion.

    Now, if Billy King showed up and said we'll be great with Melo, then it's time to worry!

    We need to have winning record in the first 10 games, otherwise reporters and TV analyst will give us a hard time.

    One reporter says Brandon Knight is considered one of the worst defenders in the league.

    Is Koby Altman a better GM than Morey? 1 season, 1 NBA Finals!

    I think this is just more proof Morey is a horrible GM. @Os Trigonum

    We need to win the title, otherwise reporters and TV analysts will give us a hard time!

    Just kidding!

    Rockets can win the title in 2018/19 and reporters/TV analysts would not acknowledge it because they didn't face Jordan! Sad!

    Remember when they were saying they didn’t think CP3 would fit with James Harden after one game last year?

    Relax.

    If you're only going to listen to criticism from people with track records better than Morey's, you wont find many. I didn't watch the segment, but to have the opinion that this team is less talented than last year's doesn't bother me to be honest.

    David Griffin criticizing Daryl Morey's roster-building is like MCW criticizing James Harden's jumpshot.

    "They didn't beat the Warriors in the Finals. They beat them in the Western Conference Finals. Not the same thing. No where close to the same thing and everyone knows that Draymond's herpes flared up in game 5. Nope, not a real title."

    Griffin is right. I will never doubt the media anymore after they were proven correct in game 1 of the season.

    The retirement of Bzdelik may be the biggest obstacle to overcome.

    My only issue is with "somewhat significant"

    What the hell is "somewhat significant"? I don't think that's a thing.
