re: Daily NBA thread 11/23

The Grizzlies are where they are because of the Marc Gasol trade that everyone labeled as horrible at the time. Also, Randolph was a total steal. Both the Grizzlies and Rockets became relevant without tanking, but that is not the norm.

Just out of curiosity, who, in your opinions, is currently the better overall player: Dwight Howard or Anthony Davis?

Tyreke was a pretty big name FA pickup.

Just quoting a Zach Lowe article from over the summer where he mentioned that the flaw in Morey's plan to chase another superstar was sorely hurt by the fact that he has the two superstars that no other stars want to play with.

Interesting. I don't really think Houston needs a third superstar. I think they just need a solid team around the two, something I know Morey can do with another offseason. Hell, he scrapped some decent guys together this year after his plan fell apart.

yeah a former rookie of the year is a shitty FA pickup

Outside of Anderson, we rushed our teams development and we surrounded with with good talent, but not talent that will put us over the top-IMO.

We would need Evans or holiday to take their game to an all-star level for us to be West conference mainstays

Ahh some good basketball tonight.. Odds o/u 2.5 techs in the Hou-Mem game?!

Evans was pretty good as a rookie but then fell off and not many teams wanted him.

It's good he got a fresh start in New Orleans and seems to be doing decent enough, but it's not like he was a big free agent that teams were chasing...

One thing I hate about the NBA is that small town teams are at a huge disadvantage. The Spurs are an anomaly.

San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the US

That is true, but they aren't a "small town team".
