    Who knows but I'd say there's a bigger hole to fill as far as arizas void. At some point it'll get filled but by who is anyones guess.

    I get your point that another wing defender is more important now that we lost Ariza, but we also need another playmaker and MCW provides that. You don't ignore another need just because you have a bigger need. And btw, MCW is a 6'6 guard that has shown good defensive abilities.

    Never been a fan of mcw. He's not good at all. Lets see what other things are in store.

    I said nothing about Ariza. I said we need a forward who can shoot and defend. We need to strengthen up those spots badly. A knee deep rotation of guards isn't what we need most. What about our starting lineup to start with. Morley and his small ball mindset frustrates me.

    Yes, he wasn't a good passer, when he was at his best in Philadelphia. He can be a disruptive defender at times.
    He can't be trusted on the court for more than a few minutes. It seems to me that he wants to prove that he has star ability, because he looks out for himself, rather than the team.

    There are 2 rookie of the year award winners on the team right now.

    One is $160 million richer, the other is Vet min.

    Let's hope the former will teach the latter a thing or two and this will make this a much better get than everyone currently thinks.

    Who knows. Right now all still waiting for replacement for Ariza so is two times bad shoulder man the answer? Will he resign?

    Or is there something out there that will be better than picking up a former allstar and 'best center in the league' when heathly and recovering from a terrible injury?

    In executive of the year we trust...

    Only one such player owes his very existence to John Lucas: John Lucas III.

    That's exactly what I am afraid of lol.

    The Airemy Lin factor.

    That being said, since he has the Rockets Jersey on, hope I am wrong, and wish him the best.

    He will be our version of Andre Roberson, no point in asking him to get better as a shooter

    I like the signing. They needed another player who could create for others. He should allow cp3 to rest a little bit more this season as well.

    The guy needs to improve his shooting by leaps and bounds. If John can help him accomplish that, I will bow down to him.
