He has fatnastic biomechanics, he's the opposite of Derrick Rose, He doesn't jump unless he needs to and he only jumps with the minimum force necessary. And as stealth tiger said, he doesn't rely on lateral knee and ankle stress moves like Kyrie. He uses his speed, strength, and change of pace. He doesn't needlessly take beatings on defense or scramble and put his body in a bad position, until the playoffs. He's a reallly smart guy. All it takes is one dellavedova esque person diving at his knees to end all that, though

Rose is exactly who I had in mind as the other pole. I guess my main-rear end ponder is how much of it is calculated as far an on-court playing style. Did His game stem from His physicality or is it designed(by Him or trainers) specifically to be augmented by and sustain it?

I think that owners realized very quickly that they made a mistake in limiting the lengths of the extensions, it made it way more difficult to keep players without the incentives of long contracts, and it gave them less leverage when it came time to trade them. I think the limits on contract length when signing with a new team is smart, because we definitely saw that those protect owners

I mean I like Cameron Payne but trading our 2nd best player for a guard coming back from a foot surgery kind of has me :smith:

Long term it's a fine move, especially since I have zero faith in us getting a good PG in the draft, but for the short term he's like one of only two guys on the team that can put the ball in the basket in a half-court offense.

Let me tell you about Corey Brewer and what a stalwart, focused defender he is

I'm not as anti-Gay as I post but I really don't see what he would add to the Rockets anyway though. I guess he's a better defender than the bench guys and would open up even wackier small ball lineups.

I'd imagine Morey is interested because he thinks he can get him for the usual Morey special of random crap players and second round picks and prospects

The Rockets actually have some halfway decent rookies they could send along but considering Rudy Gay isn't likely to get them another round deep into the playoffs before some other team signs him to a gigantic contract I just don't see why they would. It makes a lot more sense for the Thunder and the Pacers.

e: Also Gay has a player option, AKA Morey kryptonite

I know the rockets have nice assets but I don't think Morey is parting with any of them for a half season rental

They don't really have a bad contract that is amnesty worthy. Kosta has one more year left and should be moveable, Afflalo and Tolliver signed effectively one year deals, Lawson, Collison, and Casspi are free agents. Temple signed a three year deal but is actually playing well. Maybe Barnes who has another year and might be arrested by Dog The Bounty Hunter. Everyone else is on a rookie deal.
