    If I had known what I know about Boogie when he was traded, I would say getting Travis Knight was an improvement in team morale.

    Sure wish we had Morey! Eh @Labinot41? That guy can draw free agents. To small market Houston to boot! Who wants to live there, horrible taxes, weather, and nightlife.

    As would Memphis. Stark reminder about the dangers of small sample size!

    Sounds like a basketball version of the 10,000 hour rule.

    Someone said it earlier, but I can not STAND that guy that sits on the left. He is so smug, unfunny, and brings nothing to the table. And they call him a comedian. I find more comedy in the OT section of this forum.

    Capela and old ass Melo aren't exactly Hassan Whiteside. But I did like Nurk's game tonight.

    With Paul and Harden, yeah. They miss the guys they lost though, specifically the wing defenders, and Melo is washed. Thankfully they don’t realistically have enough to land Butler, because that would be a game changer.

    Reading the Rocket's forums, they are obsessed with getting Butler.

    Holy shit, I just looked at the contract Chris Paul signed this summer.

    upload_2018-10-30_22-36-59.png

    $160 million for four years and he's 33-years old. The Point God looked pretty fucking human tonight. Lillard blew by him with ease a number of times.

    We're in year 2 of a 7-year collective bargaining agreement. So, there is no hope of an amnesty clause. I sure the fuck would't want to be the team that's on the hook for paying him $41 million at the age of 36 and$44 million when he's 37. Hell, I wouldn't want to be the team that's paying him $35.6 million this year. He makes $7.6 million more than Lillard and isn't nearly the player Dame is.

    Im sure youve been around organized ball enough to know this so its not a direct response to you.
    While we may not see it, Simons and Trent are getting to play against Dame and CJ everyday. They’re getting nba facilities to work out in with NBA trainers, a lot of growth can happen for both of them even while “sitting on the bench” during the games that count. Of course in game experience is paramount for developement, but if Id rather have Stotts hold them off the court if he feels like they arent ready.

    Melo is just average player now and he can't defend like he use to because the finally calling the crap he always got away with in the past. Plus he right around the corner like Melo.

    By the way, your player analysis videos are first rate. As good as anything I've seen some from some of the longtime analysis guys that work the draft. I specifically liked the ones on Layman and Simmons because you were very specific and to the point. You should do a short series at mid-season where you revisit some of the player observations you made and where the subject player is going. That would be a nice follow up piece.

    I'm not recommending it, I'm saying it in reference to what he's saying...
