GT: Dallas Mavs @ Houston Rockets 10/21/2017

[inquisitive]

Rockets garbage time unit ruined a 30 point win. I'm furious.

The key is keeping the opponent under 100pts. They did that!

I was watching something else. How did they look?

It's noticeable that Joe Chee needs to work on some hand or arm strength. A few times he grabbed the rebound, but the opposing player knocked the ball out of his hands. I really want to see more playing time for him....not garbage time, but some more real time if Ryan isn't having a good shooting night.

Nah. He is nowhere near ready for real minutes.
Honestly, I believe would be better served getting some run down in the G-League.
The Vipers tend to do wonders for Rockets young bigs and he clearly needs the work.

Like they would've won by 40 if the garbage time lineup wasn't, well, garbage

Would Dallas trade JJ Barea + Wes Matthews for Ryan Anderson + Chinanu Onuaku?

LMaM would start at PF with Black, Tucker and Ariza also getting time there and maybe eventually Zhou.

Barea is good insurance for Paul's injury. Dallas doesn't really need him with Smith, Ferrell, Harris and Seth Curry.

Dallas had shown previous interest in Anderson when he was a free agent. Matthews' contract is a year less than Ryan's.

[Mr. E]

I wouldn’t make that trade. Not at this time.

Sorry, Barea isn't allowed on the Rockets.

Chris Paul was far worse than Barea as a rocket killer/nemesis

Maybe so, but never hated in the same way.
I'm still shocked that propeller plane worked out, tbh.

Well I disliked Paul much more than Barea. Maybe if Barea was a member of that 2005 Mavs team but he wasn't even in the league yet. Both are dirty players but I don't think Barea complains nearly as much to the refs.

The point is, he would be a good, cheap backup/emergency starting point guard who can catch and shoot. And LMaM is playing as well as Ryan is on offense and better on defense at 1/10th of the cost.
