    I would like Kyle O actually.

    Unreal shot blocker. Underrated passer.

    I also don't believe any impactful C is coming in. We're all in on midget ball. Tucker, Cov, Harden, Gordon, WEstbrook is our murder lineup.Cov, Harden, Gordon, WEstbrook is our murder lineup.

    Chandler, Bell and Harterstein will play backup C by committee.

    Not only is it because we’re all in. We have so little salary to match. Either a trade exception under 4 or combining House and Thabo and IH which is difficult enough but also only gets you to what...$7 mil?

    he's NOT saying Drummond. I think you need to re-read his tweet.

    so Detroit rejected Bostons offer for Christian Wood

    which pretty much means we can't get him either

    I actually think O'Quinn would work well on this roster, underrated shot blocker, good but not great rebounder and moves his feet well on defense. I wouldn't complain with a center rotation of O'Quinn, Harty, Tuck and Chandler

    Daryl Morey should have been building the team though the draft once he got Harden - there is a flaw in his thinking, Malcolm Brogdon is the perfect analytics player, and would probably be the best kind of player to put around Harden. He drafted two power forwards in front of DG, who you say "that powerhouse" that kept knocking him out of the playoffs. Remember, these are both second round picks - plenty of good players to be found in the draft each year - Morey should have been building a first class scouting and development program for the Rockets.

    Its the exception rather than the rule that some team is just going to gift you a James Harden in a trade transaction - Morey has a flawed methodology regarding team building strategy.

    Why the f would we want Drummond? He does nothing for the style of play we are pursuing.

    Agree. KOQ has generally been underrated throughout his career because he doesn't have many "exciting" Center attributes like athleticism, high-volume 3-point shooting or standout size.

    But he's a rock defensively, a strong defender/rebounder, and is overall a very high IQ player. He's shown some ability to step out and hit 3s this year (small sample size, but he's always been very good from 16-23 feet, so it looks legit).

    Meanwhile Christian Wood (who I always liked coming out of college), puts up very impressive per36 production, but he kind of reminds me of Hartenstein in that he's a high-activity big who's a little too "all over the place." So it's hard to play him big minutes against good teams, because you know there will be lapses on both ends.
