    If he is taking up part of the MLE, then that's really bad. He isn't worth that.

    What really upsets me is that the Rockets have yet to even see him in
    Summer League, and they already prefer to give Qi a 3 yr contract.

    Les and Morey one step forward, one step backwards.

    I'm also surprised that Morey forgot or was unaware of the 38 yr old rule regarding Nene, thus resulting in an annulment of his contract. SMH.

    Good heavens! This is nuts! He is weaker than a twig. He better be a darn good player off the bat.

    Morey thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Going after stars is a no brainer, but honestly his understanding of basketball is limited. He has never played the game.

    Yes, that's what Uncle Les wants, and Daryl Morey is his enabler.

    How could you not understand?

    He is a years away prospect. If he gets a 2 yr or 3 yr deal it puts you at a disadvantage because he would just be reaching an area where we will understand what kind of player he will become and determine whether we can keep him or move on or use as an asset

    This does nothing to fix the hole in the banana boat.

    Look man, we have far pressing needs. If it's gonna take 4 yrs for Qi to become a productive player, then it's probably not worth it.

    I'm wondering if DM is planning on using this contract as a trade chip?
