State of the Roster

x- · Post #221 » by x- » Tue Aug 14, 2012 5:17 pm

I think with the current roster we're a 30+ win team, which will probably be bad enough for a top-10 pick, but not quite bad for a top-5 pick. Sadly the Kings and some of those east teams are really good at tanking.

I like our team as is, although I'm still hopeful that Martin will be traded.

It'd be nice if we also could find takers for the younger players that will be buried on the bench, but (still) may have some value, (JuJuan Johnson, Marcus Morris, Harrellson/Greg Smith).

i Love what they are doing with the draft picks

idk y sign Delfino
u dont want him taking any of Lambs minutes or Parsons / Terrence

im NOT sold on Lin or Asik

ill b watching and following Lamb, Parsons, Terrence, Royce

i think morris and patterson can/should b moved along with kmart and delfino
at the trade deadline
u should b able to get more picks out of those 4

Delfino signing is to meet the league minimum team salary
we are very thin at SF/SG

Lin signing is all about Asia market
owner Les will get all those money back from Taiwan/China advertisement
Asik -- well Morey likes him very much, been trying to trade for him last season

Which is really unfortunate. I really really want a top 3 pick. Easiest way to get a star is through a top pick.

This juggling asset staying competitive nonsense wont get us anywhere.

This team will be exciting since its age but the age is also why we will suck.

guys Lin took a ragtag team with no all-stars to a winning streak called Linsanity.

Lin
Fields
Jeffries
Tyson
Shumpert

though it's much better to have a top 3 pick in the lottery next offseason since it's a probable Laker championship next season.

Lamb is gonna be almost automatic from 16-18ft.

Mark Deeks (of ShamSports) said Sean Williams agreed to push back the date when his contract will become guaranteed. Pretty sure it's still non-guaranteed and the Rockets will cut Williams before his contract does become guaranteed.

not even in the east does this roster have a chance

The Rockets always fight. Even when it obviously has not been a fair fight, they go down swining.

That's part of the allure. That and the team almost never beats itself in close games.
