HOUSTON ROCKETS Thread '14/'15 - Offseason - Picks (+ Jason Terry)

[do work son]

phoenix just got lil zeke. they've said they'll match anything though, but that's still a weird signing. i just don't see us targeting any RFAs. we're pretty much keeping our same team, adding nick johnson and clint capela (maybe, not sure on him yet), and then role players to fill out the bench.

 

[do work son]

don't shoot the messenger guys.

what if we match parsons, resign daniels, and use our TPE to acquire ilyasova and zaza pachulia from the bucks?

zaza is a decent defender/backup center.

ilyasova had a down year last year, but i think it was due to health. he's still relatively young. 2 years ago he shot 45% from 3. did it the year before that too.

just posting ideas i see on twitter/clutchfans

Marion is an intriguing thought…and Ariza… I don't think we're going to match Parsons quite honestly 

 

[statis22]

Ariza no thanks. Been there done that.

i'm almost willing to bet my username we match parsons.

almost.

if we don't match, we have 16 million in cap.

or we can spend the 16 million, and then still match.

or we can match, then use our MLE BAE and TPE's to generate 3-4 more players.

Chirs Bosh can go **** himself. I would not be mad with Ersan or even Ryan Anderson, but they way Bosh spurned us at the last minute is really going to put Morey's skills to the test.

 

[Mercurial]

Loved the Nick Johnson pick day 1 and it keeps getting better and better

 

[atcatc23]

Morey will pull through and Jones isn't a bad option as a 4. If he could be a backup 4 and we sign Ersan....look out league. Dude is underrated and when healthy, he puts up numbers. And there will be openings on offensive with people keying in on Howard/Harden.

He did more with less with the Bucks and can't wait to see him play for Houston if he plays here.

I'm definitely down with this more than anything else, especially the idea if having Josh Smith and his awful contract :x. I still wonder how cheap Kris Humpfries would be, cause even though he's a cornball goof, he's still a rebounding machine. I'm also interested in Birdman to backup Howard, but we'd probably have to give him more money than we should since he is willing to probably play in Cleveland for peanuts. I also say we match Parsons no matter what. You can't miss out on Bosh or Melo AND lose Parsons to Dallas. Unless y'all are expecting Jones and D-Mo to elevate their games to prime KG and Dirk levels overnight, Parsons shouldn't be apart of the Mavs.

 

[do work son]

I was in full blown panic mode yesterday. I'm much more confident now. Knowing that matching Parsons doesn't really stop us from making other moves makes me feel better

 

[markangelo]

Nick Johnson, one positive sign for us fans 

Oh, and Jlin (and hongcouver?) is gone 

That airball against Miami will never be forgotten 

 

[bravo]

I pray to Allah that this isn't the highlight of our offseason.  

and please no long term contracts for Josh Smith, Pau Gasol, Paul Pierce or Greg Monroe....

 

[polosanddunks]

Morey just cant get desperate and do something he will regret forever...like Josh Smith

I like that Ersan idea as a pickup.

Parsons deal should be matched asap.

 

[do work son]

hey guys. you know that anthony morrow guy i've been talking about for weeks.

OKC signed him for 3 years 10 million.

 

[Peep Game]

Cool.

We match Parsons yet?

I'll take that bet... we will find out tonight.

Looks like y'all will be getting Ariza... and us Mavs gonna get Parsons

As much as I like Parsons, I agree… I don't think we're going to match

The Houston Rockets have agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal with Trevor Ariza, @USATODAYsports has learned.

 

[Peep Game]

Yuck

 

[markangelo]

yup, bye Parsons… good luck to him…Im sure us rockets fans are happy for him, but lets be honest, he's not worth 15 mil/year.. 

welcome back again ariza, hopefully the second time is much sweeter

Unless, we still match Parsons? 

 

[do work son]

We can still keep Parsons. Ariza deal was lot cheaper than I thought.

 

[markangelo]

does anyone know if the last year is a team option? regardless, 8 mil/year is not too shabby...

 

[markangelo]

next move has got to be Ilyasova 

 

[do work son]

We can keep the same starting 5, subtract Lin and Asik from the bench, add Ariza still have 8 million to spend, then match Parsons.

AND we have trade exceptions still. One worth 8.3 and one worth 5.4
