I personally kinda like the idea of a 4/5 combo with Faried and T-Jones. It'll probably suck but I want to see it.
I hear you. I just don't believe that Jones can bring anything of significance even with limited minutes.
Can he rebound? He could maybe help. I mean we desperately need someone taller than 6'6". He did have SOME good games. Look, we had to sign someone. Who else is out there? He probably won't even be called up from the Vipers. So, who really cares?
Daryl Morey selected Jeremy Lamb(traded in package for Harden), Royce "No Flight" White, Terrence Jones over Draymond Green. That is how bad Daryl is in drafting and scouting. Our Front Office really needs new scouts, new hiring, Former Players that recognizes young talent in High School, College, University Levels
I will say I always thought he was a pretty good fit as a backup 4/5. Versatile enough to be a slow shooting stretch 4 or a small ball 5. I really don't see why he can't provide the 15 minutes off the bench we need but I am sure I am just being optimistic. Other teams would have signed him sooner but hopefully he is like House where he has just been overlooked for one reason or another and just needs the opportunity to prove himself again. He is shooting 38% from 3 in G-league at 3.6 attempts a game. Pretty solid. If he could shoot around 35% or more on open threes I think it would be a good fit. I really hope MDA plays him.
This is Tillman telling Morey - You want to be the best GM in the league, nay, the history of the league?? I'll help get you there but your going to have to overcome the toughest challenges to do it. Here's your first. Championship under the luxury tax. Now prove your worth. I WILL make them harder.
And every other front office would need to do the same because every team passed up on him. Great logic.
Daryl and Tillman have the 2 cent head, penny pinching mode. They both want the Rockets to sink. I hope Harden asks for a trade. Enough is Enough. I am beyond p'd off. Danuel House wants a bigger salary, why not make the player happy months ago, now he will get revenge in signing a poison pill contract in Free Agency.
If he has the motivation to dominate the G League... he will be motivated to play Western Conference contenders
