    Instant classic!

    • Should be quoted on front page.
    • If I did signatures, this is the one I'd pick
    • Sounds like a post someone in the Crew would make like @Clutch , @Will or @Dr of Dunk
    • Is there a Swaggy P comparison to Trunp in here. "Not the President we wanted ..."

    Rockets will run more three guard lineups with Harden and Young getting backup small forward minutes. Also after last season's fatigue debacle everyone's minutes will go down.

    idk just a guess. I do genuinely hope Rockets lengthen their rotation. Only makes sense considering their style. It's the one part of D'Antoni's philosophy that never made sense to me. Surely if you're going to try and run the other team off the court it'd be easier with fresh legs right?

    Obviously

    I feel like unless other teams include draft picks we can offer better value. If we're serious Eric Gordan, Ariza, Bev, Anderson and Lou Williams are all amazing trade assets with decently good contracts besides Anderson.

    Despite his talent, Nick Young is incredibly immature and he has an extremely small brain.

    I'd hate to see our culture go down the crapper again after finally dealing Dwight.

    Lou Williams suffered in our system despite his good 3 point shooting

    But Lou has always been up and down everywhere he has been. Nick is steady.

    Wonder how Lou would have done if he took shots other than contested runners, floaters, and off balance 3's.

    I can't believe Nick Young is 31 years old already. He is fast becoming Nick Old.

    Lol, he will probably be the only FA added to the team.

    Met Nick Young like 6 or 7 times as he would come to my high school (one of the four he went to) and the 24 in my Neighborhood. Genuinely an idiot.

    Will Nick Yang be popular with Chinese fans?

    I don't care a lot about character, but in this case, I think it trumps basketball ability. We've moved to a more serious level than Nick Young. This team needs to be functional on all levels and Young adds chaos theory.

    Lou Williams is light years better than Nick freaking Young.

    Nick has been a steady idiot his entire career.

    Chaos theory will really go a long way in raising our risk profile

    This move doesn't move the needle but seems something Morey would do after flaming out on the big FAs.
