Are the Rockets going to be the worst team this season?

[TheToothFairy]

Amazing how short sighted and impatient people are.

This is what a rebuild BPA looks like.

They are in perfect situation to make the right move

[MrBigShot]

6'5 Kevin Martin
6'9 Luis Scola
6'9 Patrick Patterson
6'9 Marcus Morris
6'7 Jon Brockman
6'9 Chandler Parsons
6'10 Jon Leuer
6'9 Greg Smith
6'5 Jeremy Lamb
6'9 Royce White
6'9 Terrence Jones

...... i have absolutly no idea what their strategy is?

nba is all about matchup
no team can put 5 PF on the floor to matchup with the rockets

Damn when you put it like that, unstoppable.

lol...

Similarly, no team of 5 PF can guard an opposing team with one of each position.

Do people really think that all of Houston's wins last season were a result of Lowry and Dragic? Why should the team be so much worse? Both are good PGs but not elite. Dalembert got outplayed by the ancient Camby. Courtney Lee is a marginal starter for most teams.

If the Bulls don't match Asik he'll be better than anyone they had at the position last year. Jeremy Lamb has to be better than Kevin Martin was last year, even if he's not as good as Courtney Lee (who wasn't that great either).

This team won a lot of games last year because of their depth, and now they're even deeper. Sure if they go into the season starting a power forward at center and Shaun Livingston at PG that will be a big problem, but I doubt that happens.

Collecting assets to 'get bad' in position to increase chances of high lottery picks is one thing, but why throw all that money at players like Asik?

because they're not tanking, they're pursuing value.

Morey addresses plan:

I think he's basically using the Nick Saban model: Bring in as many players as possible, throw away the ones who suck, and hope you have some good players at the end. We'll see how it works out.

As a Rockets fan, I'd rather have 3 bad seasons, than one like last season, fighting for a meaningless 8th seed.

Furthermore, you have to appreciate Morey for being active and always trying to find a good deal.

It just takes time, especially when the team is not named Heat, Lakers or Knicks.
