2018-19 Houston Rockets Thread of running it back (mainly)

Yikes. Is that why Orlando went on a 16-2 run to end the game?  That would explain a lot. I can't watch the local games because ATT Sportsnet is dumb.

Capela out 4-6 weeks. Ouch.

Harden just scored over half of the team's points. Ugh.

Gotta make some moves Morey. No way Harden can continue like this.

gordon is going to be out around another week.  2-3 more weeks for cp3.

posted a week ago.  hopefully gordon is back for the lakers this weekend.  then another couple of weeks for cp3.  help is on the way.

So we just lost House because we couldn’t reach an agreement so he’s going back to the G league. Not sure how you can’t reach an agreement for a guy we’ve needed to start because the other guys off the bench you have contracts with suck. 

#660

yeah i'm a bit perplexed how they couldn't get a deal done with house.

supposedly they're gonna sign a wing to a 10 day contract tomorrow.  no idea who that'll be.

#662

his name was thrown around a bit this summer.  supposed to be a solid 3 and d guy:

also, eric gordon might be back tonight.

#664

were down 34-19, harden goes to the bench and they go on an 11-0 run to end the quarter down only 4.  

just like you draw it up.

#679

they had the thing won with a minute to go in both regulation and overtime and somehow lost the game.  i'm stunned.

#684

reminds me of Jordan's first years when he had nothing, although the current Rox are not that desperate. 

btw, wtf is the G league rule regarding House? Damn, feel so sorry for that guy, what a shitastic deal for him.

i THINK this is the deal: after 45 days on an nba roster, the rockets had to offer him a contract.  they offered him a 3 year guaranteed minimum deal.  he thinks he can do better than that so he rejected it.  so he is out of nba days until he signs an nba contract.  they can still negotiate and he can still come back this season if they come to an agreement.  in the summer, the rockets can give him a qualifying offer -- probably the minimum.  he will likely reject that and become a restricted free agent.

more likely than not, his time with the rockets is not over.

House's agent is playing games, much like Motiejunas's did. House wants to be a FA after the season, due to his current play which 100% should be attributed to Harden and the Rockets system. The Rockets offered a 3 year fully guaranteed contract, House rejected it. Fuck him.

This.

 

His agent overplayed his hand.  Can't say I blame him.  He's proved himself a better player/fit than Gary Clark.  But keep in mind this dude wasn't in the league at the start of Dec. 

Look, I like him as a player for the Rockets.  I hope we work out a deal, but in the landscape of the NBA, he's a fringe player. 

 

LikeHtown said---He's not going to shoot 40% from 3 on any other team in the league.

meh, he thinks he's worth more than the minimum over the next 3 seasons.  i'm not gonna get all upset at him for that.

Really like this pickup. In his limited minutes this season, Faried still has a PER over 20. If he gets 30+ minutes a night, he will be a double-double guy for the Rockets.

#695

i like him as a stop gap starter while capela is out and then depth when capela returns.  IF this team could ever get 100% healthy, they have some quality depth:

harden, cp3, capela, pj, rivers, gordon, ennis, faried, green

that's a pretty solid 9 man rotation.  if they can turn brandon knight's contract into one more above average 3 & d wing,  they'll have a very deep and versatile lineup.

What exactly happened to Faried? I understand that Denver went in a different direction and traded him to the Nets, but he is too good to have fallen completely out of the Nets rotation.

EDIT: Happy that he is getting picked up. He'll be good doing the dirty work inside grabbing boards and getting put backs.

Love the faried move if it happens.

regarding House it is similar to D-Mo and holy shit what happened to that guy? From starting to a ghost. Crazy how fast the nba guys come and go sometimes.

#700

Congrats on Faried.  He doesn't play much defense but I love him as an energy guy off the bench.  Not sure why teams soured on him but think it's a great risk for the minimum.
