    Kevin Martin on the block as well.. Would be good option off the bench, he scored 22 on houston last night.

    when it comes to that subject of the game, they'll be last two to be concerned with

    Yes Martin , let's go ahead and accumulate another player who is a liability on defense. A 3&D would be ideal at any position or a PF with a midrange game

    they have upped it a notch, alongside harden who himself played good defense against Paul George on a few possessions and has been pressuring the ball more. Dwights defense on gasol should tell you what I'm talking about alongside Arizas terrific defense on Ellis and Martin down the stretch should also tell you what I'm talking about

    ALL ex-Rockets like to stick it to Morey's team. One night they'll be hobbling on a broken ankle, the next night, when the Rockets come to town, they just put a poultice on the ankle and go out and get a career high.

    Why do people think the 15th is significant for Jones? Do people think we'll use him to sweeten the Brewer trade package? I mean, Jones could have traded before now, right?

    that's what some are thinking. while he could've have been traded at any time, i don't think he will be traded until the deadline.

    i'm pretty sure they'd like to wait for dmo to be able to play more minutes at a higher level before dumping jones.

    also, waiting until the deadline gives us more time to benefit from his play. whatever we trade him for (probably another rookie contract or a pick) will lead to less on court production for the remainder of our games.

    Rudy gay is available. Who would do an Ariza gay swap. Idk how gays defense is but his scoring versatility is unmatched to ariza

    Because brewer is 8 million. Jones is only 1 million something. You can't grab a solid player back without also giving some players to clear the csp. Brewer has dropped off and would seem to be a main trade asset going by his contract

    What part of your brain made you think this was okay?

    Why the fascination with the poster being a "her"... You cannot even see her and she lives many, many miles away.

    I am not sure I would trade a case of syphilus for Rudy Gay.

    Does it matter if you are talented if you are not very good and never really have been?

    He takes a lot of shots and scores a mediocre amount of points. He doesn't defend, he doesn't pass, he cannot hit 3's and he doesn't go to the line.

    He has improved his rebounding over the years but that is about it.

    Not a good scorer at all actually.
