    I really like the thought of Bogdanovic in a MDA run offense.

    Not a fan of Batum.

    "we are trying to add two primary stars"

    So in the Holic alternate universe, Batum and Zeller now qualify as stars. :confused:o_O:eek::oops:

    As the co-founding member of the Otto Porter Movement, I really don't like how 'holic is throwing around Otto's good name in his insider information. That's the ultimate jinx for a player to put on a Rockets uniform.

    Well....let's see here. If you consider Capela a star then if you know basketball.........you have to consider Zeller a star. Zeller is who everybody thinks and wants Capela to become. Very fast end to end. Gets up and down. CAN SHOOT THE 3. Can attack off the dribble. Can finish the PnR high. And a quicker and stronger defender in switches than Capela. Zeller is an under-the-radar stud.

    And Batum....yes. While not on the level of Kawhi and others...and while not my first choice obviously, he's a star player, and if he remained healthy he would be a tremendous upgrade alongside Harden, Paul, and Tucker. 40% 3-point shooter. Extremely long. Has been a tremendous defender in the past when on a contending team. Very skilled very smart basketball player. Like I said, not my first choice. But he's got a short enough deal...and his deal could also possibly be flipped at a later date...along with a pick or two for an even bigger star.

    Batum and Zeller would be significant upgrades.

    I don't need your scouting reports to tell me that while Batum and Zeller are both solid NBA starters, neither of them is a star, much less a "primary star" (whatever that is).

    You're just stretching the word "star" past any logical parameters so that you can attempt to claim you're right later.
