OT LMAO Rockets, Bosh going back to Miami

I think you could make a case that Chris Paul is a generational player, but I feel like he's lost a little bit of his game since going to LAC. Dude was amazing with the Hornets.

 

Yeah but that was my point. With OKC they had Westbrook and they had Durant and Harden still had opportunities to be the ISO guy for a team who won the western conference. (The only time they won the western conference)

At the same time Westbrook and Durant also had plenty of opportunities to go ISO. Now I admit a PG like Lin probably sounds better for Harden on paper since he could spread the floor, but Rondo does so many other things well that I still think they would be better off. Plus he would be guarding Lillard.......and that would suck.

 

Rockets would have to change their system though. Or at least tweak it significantly. Leave a real stretch 4 on the court at all times. Not saying they couldn't do that....but McHale.

 

doesnt beverly kind of approximate what that would look like? aka a 1st round exit?

 

I don't think he's lost much, if any, of his game and I agree that Paul is a generational talent.

 

The only reason why I bring it up is because he was, at one time, a legit quadruple-double threat. I'm not sure if he can really do that anymore. He doesn't get as many steals, which I would attribute to his aging knees.

 

His knees might make him a bit less springy on defense, that's true. I'd attribute him not putting up monster stat lines anymore to playing with better talent now.

 

Fuck the rockettes.
So glad they are also fucking themselves.

Ariza..... LOL

 

That's definitely possible. Either way, I think he's the best point guard of this generation. He took the torch from the Kidd's, Payton's, etc.

 

They should be doing that regardless. I know Dwight has always referred that. At least he said it when he played in LA.

 

IMO, he's the best point guard since Magic Johnson. And I loved Payton (and thought Kidd was great).

 

Admit it, is it because you're an advanced stats junkie? Cause Chris Paul is like an advanced stat junkies wet dream.

 

He's also pretty fun to watch play in the real life, yo.

 

Stockton?

 

I prefer Paul, but it's a prime comparison. Stockton, while he had a great prime, is pretty unparalleled at his position for number of excellent seasons. I wouldn't have any issue with someone picking Stockton over Paul.

 

Just giving you a hard time. Paul is still an amazing player, 3rd best in the league, but I would still hesitate to put him next to LeBron and KD.

 

Apparently Morey said this on a Houston area radio station.

Daryl Morey: "The teams that find the Chandler Parsons, not the ones that pay them the max, are the ones that succeed long term"

How about the teams that find the James Hardens? The Dwight Howards? This is a guy who is chasing other people's stars and he's talking about developing talent?

 

I think he's talking about paying role-players the max or near-max. It's a perfectly reasonable point that you pay stars the max, whether "your own" or imported, and, ideally, develop useful role-players so you don't have to overpay them in free agency.

I mean, you can definitely read it as bitterness due to the events of the past week, but there's a coherent team-building philosophy there.
