    Lol. JH is a reigning MVP Andy has complete control of the team and is allowed to play horrible and is innyear what? 11?

    EG has been one of the worst players in the league this season. He was beyond horrible against the Nets. MDA still gave him 28 minutes.

    Where are these quotes for other players?

    It’d be great if a lint was better. It’d be great if Harden tried at defense. Wonder when we’ll see the Harden us to get better at defense or he won’t be seeing x minutes a game quote lol

    I dont know how but i want Drummond, been saying this for years. Stop with switching bullshit GSW is not around anymore too. We would get interior presence we are lacking and you can put 4 midgets around him and not worry about rebounds

    We should have found a way to add a good natural power forward. Not Ryan Anderson.

    Yeah thats the alternative. I always said PJ is great as SF but not as PF and hell no as C. As Sf he adds value to interior and exterior as a C he is subpar interior and nonexistent on exterior

    Are you dumb? Are you seriously comparing Harden's impact on the Rockets to Clint Capela? Clint owes his entire contract to James Harden.

    One can criticize multiple people simultaneously, no?

    Capela is an NBA player, with or without Harden. The idea that he isn't is part of the same problem of leadership accountability with this organization. It's like when Harden consistently, over and over and over, gesticulates wildly after the other team scored as if there was some huge defensive breakdown that the other 4 players should have fixed while Harden kind of stands there doing nothing. "Clint, Clint, Clint... why didn't you do this, why didn't you do that... we're all AMAZING and you're the problem!!" Lol.

    That's not how leadership works in successful organizations or teams.

    That position is virtually dead. There are no more Charles Oakleys and there may never be another one. Get over it.

    Draymond Green, Ibaka and Kevin Love still exist. Don’t know what you talking bout.

    If only MDA held everyone to that, if the first 20 minutes are not good enough they can sit.

    One of those 3 is not like the other.

    Rockets need better DEFENSE, enough with Kevin Love.

    There are much better defensive 4's who better fit the Rockets and for much better value.

    Draymond is the half court PG for GSW
    Ibaka plays the 5. Siakam is their 3/4
    Love sux. Posterboy for why there are no 4s (slow footed)

    None of those guys remotely resembles Oakley...

    I’d take Love over a waste of a body like Ryan Anderson. We need some type of upgrade.

    Oakley is not even a guy I would consider a good example of what I’m talking about. This franchise once had Robert Horry at the 4. I’m not saying Capela is great but man give the guy a 4 with some decent height that’s actually a threat to the defense in some way.

    I think everyone would love a decent 4 with some height. But who exactly can we realistically get??

    It needs to be someone who can hit the 3 and also guard wings on D. Add in a desire to have some rim protection and rebounding, and the list of candidates is VERY thin....

    Siakam would be great, but there is no way known Toronto moves him....

    The player you speak of would make 25+ million in the NBA these days.

    You can’t have a Monstar at every position, sorry.

    Clint is a BIG part of the problem right now. His rim protection has been non-existent, he can't guard guard/wings on switches, and on offense he's pathetic when he's not catching a lob or wide-open dunk.

    That's goes back to what I was saying about him owing his contract to James. Without Harden (and now Russ) creating WIDE-OPEN opportunities at the rim, what is he really bringing to the team? I'm very interested in your response.

    Ryno is a waste, barely allowed garbage minutes but Love would a colossal blunder, not just because he sucks on D but also due to his massive contract and injury concerns.

    Ryno is basically free compared to Love.
