Houston Rockets

[Pepeng Manas]

...Houston takes a $10 million hit next year for a chance to hit superstar pay dirt with Randolph...

Zach Randolph? i've never really watched this guy play, but... isn't he another one of those ball-hogs? if this is correct, i hope this doesn't push through!

ooops! sorry, i thought you were referring to Zach... after reading some articles, i realized you were referring to Anthony Randolph. Still, just the same, i don't like him. hehe!

^^ Marami nagsasabi na very high daw ang potential ni Randolph (Anthony, that is). The question is - hypothetically, do the Rockets gamble on this potential to get rid of T-Mac??

Getting Hitler for T-mac would be a plus. T-mac, IF he can still actually play, will never be the player he was before the injuries hit and may never be healthy again. On the other hand, Randolph may actually be a serviceable young player in the right environment. So why would the Rockets take a risk with someone who may be done rather than someone who can actually contribute?

well... in morey we trust. gm daryl morey has already proven a couple of times that he knows how to spot hidden talent, or at least spot the talent that would fit.

 

besides, i've only seen randolph play once (vs the rockets)... and he IS good. it's just a "gut" feeling that he might not fit in.

 

as you said, the question is - will the rockets gamble to get rid of tmac or just wait until tmac's contract expires. morey looks like he is not in a hurry to get rid of tmac. he really wants something out of the trade and is willing to wait it out if there's nothing there for his team.

^^ At least, you're safe in the fact that Morey won't do any fool-hardy, Isiah-type trades. :goatee:

The Rockets are fine. Adelman has a team mentality which is why his teams have been successful. Remember the Trail Blazers of the early 90s and the Kings of the early 00s? These teams may not have won the championship but these teams had winning records and qualified for the playoffs most of the time. The Blazers reached the Finals in 90 and 92 losing to the Pistons and Bulls. respectively. The Kings were a heartbeat away from qualifying for the Finals in 2002 but luck was on LAs side that year.

And a flying elbow by Kobe on Bibby in Game 6 which wasn't called.

 

Anyway, Adelman is a competent coach. In my opinion, the Rockets are a superstar away from contending for a championship. I mean an unselfish superstar unlike Mcgrady.

Successful in the regular season, yes. But a lot to be desired come the playoffs. A .503 winning % in playoff games doesn't cut it. Somehow Phil Jax always seems to have his number.

go rockets...

This I'll say, Jackson had Adelman's number in 1992 but Jackson and the 2002 Lakers were plain lucky. If you don't find winning 50% of your playoff games successful, that's your take.
