Morey says Rockets "have something up [their] sleeve"

Lol at anyone thinking Blake and Deandre are even comparable to Davis and Cousins.

 

No way to Deandre, but I have seen Blake dominate at a way higher level than Davis/Cousins have thus far. He destroyed the Spurs before they played us in the WCF. Completely annihilated their schemes with his ball handling and mid-range jumper.

 

That's fair, although Davis has had great playoff games. Blake can be an amazing player when he wants to be I feel like.

This is why I don't want him, mentally something is off...same with Harden...I see Dwight/Harden all over again if our big plan is to just add Blake.

 

Blake would be very involved in the offense thus a very happy camper here. The Dwight comparison is a fair point from a chemistry standpoint, but that's about it.

Besides, if my goal is to try to form a superteam I'm targeting players like Blake that have already had tremendous individual success. KD chose GS as a legacy move. I'm hoping players like Blake will follow down a similar path.

 

Blake very involved? He's already a primary option in LA. don't really get that logic

 

I was commenting on the Dwight comparison. Not that anyone needs a walk down memory lane, but Dwight mailed it in because he wanted superstar treatment/touches offensively. I'm merely saying that wouldn't be an issue with Blake. Blake would get plenty of touches thus would be very happy with his role here.

I get why people might question his mental toughness. Dwight had the same issue. From that standpoint it's a fair comparison....but that's about it.

 

Blake would be intriguing....DJ would be also tho....BG or DJ?

 

Yeah. I think we can agree that Anthony Davis is on another level physically and mentally.

I don't think Deandre is a huge upgrade to Clint at this point. His rim protection is dropping off drastically. Look at his block numbers in this year's playoffs. And Clint is hitting free throws.

 

DeAndre's +/- numbers and rebounding numbers are off the charts. I like Capela but he would be a huge upgrade....but we have other priorities.

Capela is good enough to move forward at center provided we address other weaknesses.

 

his rebounding numbers don't mean much when he plays next to guys that aren't known to grab boards.

 

I don't get the love for DeAndre...i mean, he's a funny dude and he's from Houston, good impact player overall...but he's still not able to stay in the game cause he can't make his free throws, and he's going to be 30 when is contract will be up after next season.

I'd take Capela with his 24 years at 15/20x (and low cap holds) any day over a declining 30 years old DeAndre at 30/35x.

 

Rebounding is rebounding. Besides, how would that be any different if he were playing here? The majority of our current rotation have rebounding rates that are in the single digits. Given our style of play with small ball 4's and stretch 4's, it only makes sense for our centers to be monsters on the glass.

But like I said: I like Capela and he's good enough at center moving forward. Just saying, DeAndre is a phenomenal garbageman 5.

 

its different bc ariza, harden, and beverley are guys that are known to get in there to go for rebounds. you don't see that on the clips. it's just one of dj's short list of jobs he has to do

 

Blake plus CC and its not even close. You want to find the Deandre not pay the deandre lol.

 

When I saw what Morey said, my first reaction was to start laughing. After reading the rationalizations posted here, I'm laughing even harder. This is going to be a fun thing to watch as it unfolds. Who knows? We might actually get to see the Rockets play some defense...if things get dire enough and MDA decides to look into the concept.

 

Morey just have have flabby arms up his sleeves to match that double chin

 

Wow! That was mean!

 

At the trade deadline it was reported that the rockets was offering all the alphabet for DAJ

A=Anderson, Ariza
B= Beverly
C= Capela

 

Whoever you are....I hope you are ready to launch some ****in 3s fam

 

This is definitely a threat
