    I have said it before, PJ Tucker is what happens when Chuck Hayes and Shane Battier have a baby.

    That's one hell of defensive juggernaut who can shoot from 3

    Nene says hello with rest between games in the playoffs. The KIDS will out hustle most not as talented but will work hard making the center spot a hard matchup for any team. PLUS the 4 starters will lessen the burden.

    Moving Capela for Butler will hurt the Rockets a great deal. Tucker will have to carry the entire load at center, this will also render him ineffective at the 4 spot. I don't think the Wolves want Capela anyway.

    Kind of apples to oranges. Chuck didn't play the wing. Nevertheless, I'd take Chuck as a defender (especially on the block) over PJ any day. Obviously, PJ can hit a 3 which Chuck couldn't do.

    Our GM has a thrust for superstars (availability)
    one must give to receive (We lose something of value)
    The youngsters seemed to be having a good preseason
    Front office says Chriss plays like Capela. (Not true)
    The timeline of Capela’s signing.
    Capela fit against GSW
    Keeps championship window open longer.
    New owner lands two superstars puts his fingers prints on the team
    Capela is fool’s gold away from the Rockets, IMO.

    Paul/Harden/Butler/Melo/Tucker or anyone PLUS Gorden & a lot of active talent is a championship team.

    Just MY thoughts —> I write it because I want it to happen. I all was say “I think or IMO”. I am not trying to be someone I am not.

    I'm glad he enjoys playing the 5. Doesn't mean I want him doing it. He's undersized for the 4 for christsakes. I love Tucker. I love the way he plays big. But he doesn't make Capela obsolete.

    I loved that thought, it would not even be ugly.

    Honestly I dun think Hayes and Shane had that DNA to produce someone dat ThiCC or such a badarse on the court.

    If only Tuck could finish at the rim like Cap. I love em both. Glad they're both my Rockets! They both add dimensions to this team that are a tough nut to crack.
