    Probably need to manage your expectations some.... we didn't bring in either of these guys to be "game changers."

    Dude always seemed like he had his best game of the season against us. Hope he can supplement Black as a more reliable 3rd string guy and lob threat.

    They will probably do one together. I don't think they play until after the break anyway.

    not way toooo excited about this.. although i am intrigued by possibility of 40+ minutes of lob city, he is a week rebounder for this position.. I thought we needed a five who could rebound with tenacity but still a big is a big, and this one does have good hands.

    I don't think Blake Griffin got one, why would we do one for these bench warmers?

    He actually did. Along with Willie Reed and Brice Johnson. And then a week later Reed and Johnson were moved. Funny.

    It sounds like the plan was adjusted that Black will be the one let go when Mo Speights gets bought out by the Magic.

    I anticipate your post crying like the little brat you are when that day comes:)

    I agree. I don't think we're done yet. Brandon Wright is a nice add, but I think we're chasing someone bigger.

    The best strategy is to not go on the attack using insider information. Mo Speights may never happen and then it's just silly to say "well it would have happened but plans changed."

    Just avoid it by not taking insider information as anything more than a interesting rumors, even if it annoys you that someone like Ashley is being a jerk. Better to ignore him/her/it then to give yourself an "lol what happened to Mo Speights" moment later.

    You're right, although I don’t mind receipt pulling. I am just sick of these posters heckling our insiders when they are providing us with such an invaluable commodity.

    Here's some stats from last year. Wright was definitely fresh only playing 16 minutes/game, but he didn't have the advantage of playing with James Harden last year.

    2016-17
    TS%
    Capela - 63.8
    Nene - 63
    Wright - 62.8

    BLK%
    Capela -4.1
    Nene - 2.6
    Wright - 4.3

    ORtg | DRtg
    Capela 122 | 106
    Nene 118 | 106
    Wright 127| 107

    Meh. You shouldn't take a victory lap on this one. The Rockets may change their mind but it doesn't mean you were right.

    Enough people here back your credibility, don't get into the mud to fight over this small of a story lol
