I'm all for bashing Morey, and I despise EG, but his contract is pretty solid value. Great shooter off the bench, can handle the rock and he doesn't really need to play any defense. This is all assuming EG stays healthy.

The Ryno contract is tougher to justify.

Both tailed off big time after the ASB and will need to right the ship.

I think it was much bigger than the Spurs losing Tony Parker because the Rockets really needed Nene due to the match-up.
Even if his loss was a bigger deal, in the first 3 games of the semester he was only playing 16.5 minutes per game, and averaged only 6 points and 3 rebounds, and they were 1-2 in those 3 games. They were 1-2 in the following 3 games, including the one he barely played.

And since Tony Parker played 7.5 more per per game leading up to their injuries, and was out for more games, that's roughly 50 more minutes of playing time lost than Nene, more than 1.8 times the amount.

Besides since there were only 2 games that weren't decided by more than 21 points, Nene only missed one and Parker missed both.

The Gordon contract is not bad.

The Anderson contract is not great with the potential to be terrible at 22M per year for the next 3 years.

Gordon contract would be great if it was 2 years with a player option on the third.

I just hope his style doesn't produce a championship because I don't want to see an entire league engaging in that bullshite.



When he stops hoisting 3's is when he will become a threat. Let guys like Gordon and Anderson do that. That being said, it doesnt look like he'll ever change

To be fair, if there is a fanbase that knows a lot about bad contracts it is the pelicans.

All looks to one gm.

Max Gordon vs sign and trade
Outbid yourself for Evans and Hill.
Overpaying and giving a long contract for asik and ajinca.

Did they predict the Rockets would suck with Gordon and Anderson, or did they predict Gordon and Anderson would suck with the Rockets.

2016 CC may be the first team in NBA history with 4 guys who have shot 40% from three in the last year or two on one team. And they've got James getting them the ball in their spots. gonna be the #2 offense in the league. I'll say #4 at absolute worst.

I don't get what in there makes it appear he's banned?

If he were banned, wouldn't he not be showing as online?

Well this was off, the third best shooter shot 38.2%. In fact, the team's 35.7% average was slightly below the league average of 35.8%.

He was correct here, but they were 4th last year in points and 7th in offensive rating and added an offensive coach. Not really unexpected; of course, not really surprising defense wasn't as good with that coach, although it wasn't terrible.

Why are pelican fans Rocketsessed??

Morey is a good GM but then again if my GM and owner was constantly driving the franchise in the ground I'd focus on someone else too.

Literally no one has mentioned the Pelicans in this thread aside from Rockets fan and one Portland fan.

That deflection might work if you didn't single out two former Pelicans players who got further than they ever would have with their former franchise.

Sorry baw, just wanted to have a thread on the 2nd and 3rd highest paid Rockets players. We already have about 20 on the 1st highest paid.


Stay salty, my friend.

You're trying very hard right now, I'll give you that.

I'm sorry you chose to be a fan of the NBA's worst franchise.
