Only because of the insane success of the past 2 offseasons the Rockets had could you say this was a failure in comparison. But on the whole, it was not a success or failure. We are put in a position to get better, moreso than we were before the season ended. The only downside was that we could have had Chandler for 1 more year for under a mil. Other than that, we are set up nicely with Ariza and room to get another super star in the next couple years.

It wasn't ideal, but I wouldn't say failure. Still will be able to compete in a tough western conference.

We would have been hardly any better had we kept Chandler. To "contend" we need someone much better than him. So we are better off in the long run.

It will be interesting to see how Ariza does. This time he isn't our #1 guy so he has less pressure on him than his last go around. Our bench could use some veteran leadership though.

not meeting expectations =/= failure. Failure would've been adding Ariza. Losing Asik really hurts.

Yea, I really think we're going to miss Asik.

Not a horrendous offseason. If they had kept Parsons at 1mm and still managed to dump Asik and Lin's contracts while bringing Capela over and maybe bringing in one more strong rotation guy, it would have been a great offseason. This would be year two with a very solid core and some decent young pieces around them.

Did anyone see this:
quote:
Simonas Baranauskas @LithuaniaBasket

D-Mo on relationships with Howard and Harden: "Hi & bye. They even eat separately from the team. Usually in some fast food place."

First though: Based on the uniforms, I bet the fast food place is McDonalds.
Second thought: I assumed that Harden would eventually come under fire for his eating habits, but I didn't think this is how it would go down.
Third thought: There seems to be a lot of smoke around these two guys being arrogant d*****bags. If they really are, then it makes more sense that Morey keeps swinging for the fences to out-talent everyone for a year or two instead of building a perennial contender around Howard/Harden, who don't make Houston a very attractive situation to take a little less money in exchange for great culture and winning.

Bright side: Dwight and Harden seem to have great chemistry.

I'm curious to see what players like Beverley and Jones feel about Dwight and Harden. Parsons and Harden have reportedly made nice during the Team USA camp and he seemed to enjoy all of his teammates while he was here. I don't doubt that Dwight and Harden would isolate themselves though.

We reportedly offered him a 2 year, $4 million contract a few weeks ago. He turned it down, so we now gave him a $4.8 million salary next year with a $4.6 million option for the following year. Pretty big jump in salary from the initial offer. We used the rest of our MLE to sign him.

A lot of good points here to make me optimistic for next season. The only thing that still worries me is if Canaan, Daniels and D-Mo can be consistent throughout the year into the playoffs.

Lucky he didn't get hurt. Time to amend Harden's contract to forbid him to ride Segways.



Hopefully he can use that type of quickness and reflex to play a little bit of defense.

Sam Amick reporting (via Twitter)

quote:
Kings announce Houston trade that lands them Gee, Hopson & - last but not least - trade exception in exchange for Jason Terry & two 2nds.

quote:
Exception, I'm told, worth $5.85 million and one of largest in the NBA. Third, perhaps, behind Minny's K. Love & Rox' Jeremy Lin exceptions?

So I have to root for Jason Terry now?
