    Why would I invest time thinking through your half baked ideas? That the epitome of trolling - spends no time thinking through a strategy, then spends days arguing your half baked ideas to death. No thanks, troll - find someone else to get your amusement from.

    Is there a possibility Toronto changes this to a sign and trade so that they can generate a TPE and send us picks ? Maybe two second rounders? Or could we expand this deal , send Tate or kmj or tyty somewhere else in return for a player instead of those picks and re-route those picks to the clippers for Isaiah hartenstein if we can’t sign brook lopez?

    Do we have stats on the most ignored posters on Clutchfans? Would be an interesting metric to track

    I legitimately hope I'm at the top of that list. There's SOOO many dumb CF posters that I don't want to be able to interact with me.

    The Rockets should have signed Victor Wembanyama.

    Brooks Lopez signed with Bucks. Rockets need plan B.

    It's going to be weird next season paying a player $40+MM to actually play. Wacky stuff.

    Welcome to Houston, FVV! Looking forward to seeing you on the court.

    You cited a problem and claimed the only solution was to sign FVV for double what he's worth.

    I just pointed out, as you now acknowledge, there are many scenarios to solve a salary floor or gain veteran leadership.

    If FVV plays like a max guy and Green is truly our star in the future, then I won't mind slotting Amen at the 3 spot. Anyway, we have a glut of young guys with good potential. Not everyone will pan out. In fact, if half of them ends up reaching their potential, we'd be a championship contender 3 years from now. Eventually, we will have to consolidate. But for the next two years, we need to give the kids enough chances to show what they really are.

    Is Garuba and TyTy with that list of "most"???

    Talk about bad timing for you...

    I guess the roster space issue is solved...
