There was a time where Morey seemed to make tons of smart moves.
But lots of questionable decisions the past year or two.
Letting Ariza go.
Adding Melo.
A max contract for an aging, injury-prone Chris Paul.
Danuel House Jr. has been playing terrific, starting the past dozen games, as a 2-way GLeaguer. His NBA time was up, so Morey cheaped out offering him first a 3 year non-guaranteed minimum deal, then making it guaranteed. So House balked, Is back in GLeague and will be an RFA. House was playing well, making some key plays on both ends. Maybe they'll pay up, but it's really become the harden all-alone show.
I was thinking about how it would suck to HOU's 3rd or 4th option because Harden dominates, but so does Paul. But smartly they've added specialists like Caplea, a rim-running dunker, and corner-3 PJ Tuck. Gordon gets to spot up for 3's and be more creative when the stars sit. But HOU really misses Montrezl, Ariza, Luc. Hard working defenders, and energy role players.
