Mario Chalmers is still floating out there in the Twilight Zone. http://www.sportstwo.com/posts/3683649/
New coach, no Ty. The time is perfect for Andre Miller to return to the Nuggets. If not him, then Felton. If not him, then Rudy.
Wait just a minute....you're not saying that first rounders and young players are valuable to other teams, are you?
sept for that team was actually good, and I am pretty sure flopping, and/or crying about old ass kobe playing hard on you would also disqualify this team for that. I hope Ty is as bad for this team as what some people here are saying, I would love to see them go as far as they did last year to 8 seed or worse this year. or perhaps face a team that plays defense (Memphis) and just get torn apart.
Lawson is not absolute shit. You are talking as if he was playing at Eddy Curry levels once he signed his contract with the Knicks. The fact that he was willing to make the last year of his deal unguaranteed speaks volumes. If a guy is willing to bet 12M on himself improving, he must want to change.
I agree unfortunately, just like Corey Brewer last year I think they scored a player that will amp up their focus in a winning environment.
You seriously think Lawson is bad? Harden said he WANTED another ballhandler and playmaker to play with him. Lawson isn't gonna be chilling in the corner like P Bev. Lawson is an elite level talent on offense. I'd go as far as saying the Rockets have a top 3 back court in the league.
Holy cock smokers batman, I won't condone anything in Houston being top 3! That's like saying Kobe is the best basketball player that ever played the game!
I agree. I don't know what happened to him last year, but I am guessing playing for a team who decided to tank by trading good players had an effect. I do know that the season before ( at least early on) He was playing great. He was getting to the rim at will. IMO this is the type of situation where you surround him with a couple of allstar vets, with a chance to contend, and he will stay focused. Two DUI's tells me is stupid off the court, but not necessarily an alcoholic. Not excusing him for his actions, just stating that it is correctable and won't effect his play. Houston got better if he gets along with Harden, and it looks like they are friends.
Think about it, is having the ball in Hardens hands less a better thing? No. Plus Lawson is a worse shooter than Beverly and Terry, therefore less spacing for Harden drives. He's also a worse defender then Beverly (obviously), but also worse than even Terry... And he's a locker room cancer. He's not gonna help them. To say they're a top 3 backcourt is hilarious. They're the worst defensive backcourt in the league, and don't fit offensively. Id take Curry/Thompson, Wall/Beal, Lowry/Derozen, Teague/Korver, Rose/Butler over them. Hell, even Conley and Lee.
