    Can Chris Clemons teach Harden how to have heart?

    There's gonna be so much crying on this board for the next four years as Morey takes one beloved overachiever after another and deals him away, not even to get a better player, but just to replenish the future picks we traded away for Westbrook.

    Yeah I’m kinda hoping the Rockets go PF as dual contract players this year. Seems we go PG the past
    few years because of CP3 health reasons. We should have enough PG play this season:

    PG: 1) (1)Westbrook 2) Harden 3) (3)Eric Gordon 4) (4)Rivers 5) Clemons (14)
    SG: 1) (2)Harden 2) Westbrook 3) Eric Gordon 4) Rivers 5) (5)G Green 6) (6)McLemore
    SF: 1) Harden 2) Eric Gordon 3)
    (7)House 4) (8)Sefolosha 5) McLemore 6) [?Blossomgame?]
    PF: 1)
    (9)Tucker 2) (10)Gary Clark 3) [?Ryan Anderson?] (Dual Contract players.....**maybe next Bruno?)
    C: 1)
    (11)Capela 2) (12)Chandler 3) (13)Hartenstein

    Very interchangeable roster

    ** Best G-League PF’s not under contract

    not even to replenish the picks, but just to get back below the taxline again since the nene ruling

    From what I've seen:

    1. very quick release, deep 3 without hesitation.
    2. can run the break
    3. good enough on defense, goes over the screen.
    4. good enough at playmaking, not as a primary play maker, but when they close out on a 3 pointer.

    although his shooting percentage is low, you can tell he's a great shooter, he is a rookie who's trying to make the roster. I feel his potential is too high to let him just go. We need players who can get out and run and shoot, especially with Westbrook.....We can you use his legs to constantly put pressure on the opposing defense.

    I like him. can't really compare him to anyone that I've seen who is short, because he is unique. I say we sign him to a chandler parson's 4 year deal.....forget the two way deal...we need to sign him cheap now. He is definitely more valuable than Hartenstein or clark. I would let go of both before him.

    Besides his thicc body and athleticism, what I like him the most are his incredible poise and superb read / decision-making.

    I like virtually all the post-season pick-up so far. Very excited to see what's going to pan out.

    i need to watch him in a few more games to judge that, but i will say that his postgame interview at summer league was very impressive. came off as intelligent and even-keeled

    thank you sir...i'm afraid it might be too late now....I also predicted in preseason he would take rivers spot in the 8 man rotation by seasons end...

    listen...we don't guard the paint too much anyways, we are more interested in shutting down the 3 point shot and from what I've seen so far, he's our best perimeter defender...he's so ****ing quick and his recovery speed is sick. he rotates quicker than anyways and can get in anyones face without fouling....

    Clemons should be holding Geralds position on the team for having the green light
