    62, 66, and 55 games. Talk all you like, but the guy is injury-prone and overpaid.

    A trade like last year? We didn't have the draft picks that we did last year to do that. And why do they need to make a trade just for the sake of doing something? You don't even say "good trade", you just want a trade? Sometimes a little consistency helps more than constant turnover.

    And neither player that was signed has an outrageous contract, neither in amount or in length.

    And I believe we just had a player choosing us over someone else.

    Look at Aldridge the last 3 years

    55/66
    74/82
    69/82

    198/230


    Chandler

    62/66
    66/82
    55/82

    183/230

    So Chandler missed 15 more games over 3 seasons compared to Aldridge

    You're a hard man to impress.

    This was your opinion on the Lopez trade last summer.

    I like him so I'm not going to give him what I think the offseason deserves.

    to be fair, i was suspect of lopez as well, dudes TRB% numbers were atrocious. some wise posters pointed out that his teamates rebounded great around him though.

    I still say Lopez plays too many minutes

    He was exposed in the playoffs

    Terry single covered him. It was a strategic move. How many centers in the league can single-cover Dwight Howard?

    It's not like Dwight Howard has an array of great post moves

    Lopez just has slow feet. Easy for players to beat him off the dribble with his slow feet and reaction time.

    I'm sorry, I guess I'm just having a hard time understanding how it's a big deal that Lopez can't single-cover the best center in the league...

    lol at any idiotic posts with C's in the grade. Your posts need to realize that the expectation didn't meet the reality. Stop putting up posts of projection without first drinking a bit of reality. The only reasons your posts are pissy is because you didn't have reasonable expectations. So, that's on your posts.

    Being the best center in the NBA doesn't mean anything these days

    Dwight is far from a great post scorer. He gets ragged on all the time, especially anytime the Rockets play on TNT. He just doesn't dominate like a great big man should.

    Well....... he does when he plays against Robin Lopez. Really exposed Robin.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    C is average. I expected an average off-season and got one. I think my expectations met reality.

    Check you out . . . you spew spastic posts that show you don't have a clue what you are talking about, than in less than 5 minute admit you are wrong with egg on your face and make jokes about yourself . . . and then you post something like this.

    Try thinking before you post, it helps.
