June 25, 201016 yr Orton goes to Orlando and moves to backup to the backup. He will have plenty of time to develop.
June 25, 201016 yr Hayes has a team option for next year which is very likely they don't pick up now that they have Patterson. I think they'll move Scola instead. Hayes is cheaper and they could move Scola and a few other players for some more good pieces to put around Yao and Brooks.
June 25, 201016 yr ??? Spell Howard??? Trade bait?? Howard going to be a Power Forward?? Orton a potential power forward?? Or is this simply a long term plan?? I vote last option.
June 25, 201016 yr That makes no sense. I would think they will be trading Orton. I think they're trying to make some moves this off-season. I'd say Gortat will be part of that.
June 25, 201016 yr How long before Larry Orton is complaining that Daniel should be playing ahead of Dwight Howard?
June 25, 201016 yr I think they'll move Scola instead. Hayes is cheaper and they could move Scola and a few other players for some more good pieces to put around Yao and Brooks. Scola's contract ran out this year.
June 25, 201016 yr Bledsoe has played PG his entire life before learning to adjust off the ball last season. He will not be "learning" to play the position nearly as much as you think. Crawford is a volume shooter that is very likely to never see the number of shots needed to ever succeed. Plus Crawford has an attitude problem I don't see fitting in as a young NBA player. Your boy once told me he was the only person in the X program he didn't care for FWIW... GT, you see lots of great athletes every year that play PG in high school because a)the coach wants the ball in the best player's hands as much as possible and b)they can blow by most high school boys. You're not trying to tell me that his high school experience makes him ready to play PG in the NBA, right? Crawford is a better PG right now. Crawford is a better 2 guard right now. "My boy" must have been having a bad JCraw day that day. He's a fan of he kid. You also watch enough college ball to know that PG in
June 25, 201016 yr Scola's contract ran out this year. You're right, I forgot about that. Isn't Hayes cheap though? I'd imagine they'd keep him, I don't think he makes very much at all.
June 25, 201016 yr Author Hayes has a team option for next year which is very likely they don't pick up now that they have Patterson. His option was picked up back in May. http://rocketdunks.com/2010/05/26/rockets-pick-up-option-on-last-year-of-chuck-hayes-contract/
June 25, 201016 yr You're right, I forgot about that. Isn't Hayes cheap though? I'd imagine they'd keep him, I don't think he makes very much at all. 2.3 Mil but it's a team option. They have no reason to pick it up.
June 25, 201016 yr His option was picked up back in May. http://rocketdunks.com/2010/05/26/rockets-pick-up-option-on-last-year-of-chuck-hayes-contract/ Hum..... Well good for him not sure that makes sense for the Rockets but oh well.
June 25, 201016 yr Bledsoe was considered by many the 3rd best PG in the class. The kid can play the position. Is he ready for the NBA yet? Nope. Very few PGs are at 19. I will be highly surprised if Crawford ever reaches 6th man status in his career. The ceiling for Bledsoe is much higher...
