Most of us figured we had Melo.. Yeah, it stings, but this too shall pass.....quickly. Our Rockets are likely headed towards a gaudy regular season record. We'll have the best back court in the NBA by far (Yes, by far, GS...) Toss in MDA ...and his magic with PG's....Beethoven. They MIGHT be the greatest back court in the history of the League for a stretch.(with EGO always in the mix) DIGEST THAT. I can't understate the effect of CP3 playing under MDA/moving James over. ...the game will slow down and become easier....and we get better, a really efficient machine/ TEAM. I expect there to be a beautiful flow out there. CC is becoming a beast. With his natural growth physically/ as a player, AND the presence of CP3, Clint should be able to play more minutes at a high level ... resulting in all star #'s (with efficient Nene behind him) . The acquisitions of PJ (on a bargain deal) and Luc (on a ringchaser deal, what a steal) were inline with exactly what we needed out there. Count on the ringchaser/contender magnet to draw good players for next to nothing. We need a 3 or a 4, we'll get it. This is a team being built to take down GS, AND all comers. And, yes that includes the postseason.
Well sure the rockets are. You took at a 55-27 team and added a top 10 player, and added 2 defensive guru's along with it. They could win 65 games this year if health prevails...
Here I fixed it for you: Added a borderline top 10 player at the ripe age of 32.5 years old (when the season starts) Chris Paul who will demand $200M next season. Added Defense Guru at the ripe age of 32.5 years old (when the season starts) PJ Tucker at FULL MLE. Added a vet minimum player who will be playing back up to Tucker. for 1st Round Pick - Sixth man of the year Lou Williams also an expiring contract at only $7m per year 1st Round Pick - One of the best contracts in the league: 1st Team All Defender best PG defender in the league Beverley 1st Round Pick - Up and coming SF Athletic Sam Dekker at rookie scale salary #1 2nd Round (32 overall) Pick Harrell at lower than normal rookie scale salary. 1st Round Pick - 2018 Selection (who knows where this will end up) Cash
Look at what MDA's system did for players like Nash, Lin, and even Harden. Now we have the point gawd himself. CP3 could have top 5 player impact playing next to Harden in Mike's system. Our backcourt is insane. we have good, versatile wing defenders like Ariza, Tucker, and Moute...CP3 is also arguably the best defender at his position we have an MVP caliber player in Harden we have a young, rising C in Clint Capela we have 3 point snipers like Ego and Ryno man, this season is going to be a lot of fun
Nah man we didn't make enough moves though. Morey should be fired. The timberwolves added Butler and Teague which will magically take them from lottery team to contender. Harden quit on us. Eric Gordon has never played b2b 70 game seasons and neither has Anderson. We're so screwed m8. The league changed the rules so now Harden has been rendered completely ineffective. We lost the heart and soul of our team in Pat Bev and now we have no heart or soul. We're literally a corpse. Dekker had Gordon Hayward potential. Harrell was the next Charles Barkley and could've got the Melo deal done. That bottom 5 first round pick we gave up will turn into a star. We'll be lucky to win as many games as we did last year. Chris Paul is leaving after a year since we didn't get Melo, we're so screwed. Spoiler just meme'ing you guys, we're gonna be great
