    Any final clarification of whether this is for MLE or is a SnT ?

    Nobody wants Anderson. He has no value at $18. You can't get anything back for him.

    Would Detroit trade Harris and Morris for him ?

    He's played for SVG before and is a great fit on paper next to Drummond .

    Also Detroit gets to save some cap space send those 2 contracts > Andersons . They need that space to match KCP offers.

    people want him, but most likely after most of the top free agents have signed. he is a legit shooter

    the more options we have the easier it is for him to hit

    Ryan deserves at least the same number of threads D.Mo got tbh.

    Chris Paul already stamping his authority all over. He is starting small by getting PJ Tucker to sign here but he is going to progress and ultimately get LBJ to sign here next summer

    Book it.

    When your team is built to win now, you have to go all in. PJ Tucker is a tough scrappy veteran who brings that junk-yard dog defensive style that Bev had. We need that type guy.

    Literally no reason to S&T for Tucker when you can fit him in the MLE. The NG contracts gives them the flexibility to offer more money.

    CP3 about to pull together the entire players association to get Adam Silver to release Melo from the Knicks just like DMO

    2014 Spurs won a title with Tim Duncan age 37, Manu Ginobili 36, Tony Parker 31, Boris Diaw 31 getting major rotation minutes. '98 Bulls had Michael Jordan 34, Dennis Rodman 36, Scottie Pippen 32, Ron Harper 34, Steve Kerr 32 with major rotation minutes. '06 Heat had Shaq 33, Alonzo Mourning 35, White Chocolate 30, Gary Payton 37 in their rotation.

    Rockets core players are on the older side no doubt. Rockets have Chris Paul 32, Ariza 31, Tucker 32, Nene 34 to get big minutes. But it wouldnt be too unprecented for current aged Rockets to contend.

    His sleeves are clearly created out of saiyan armor. Can stretch to something like 10x it's normal size without losing integrity.

    If that happens you can be moderator of the Texans subforum.

    I'm not worried about age I'm worried about size. One more big would make this a great offseason - Im sure Murrays on it because it's pretty obvious.

    He was abysmal in the playoffs and the majority of his shots were wide open

    Despite both are great friends I just don't see LeBron coming here, I highly doubt it, I think LeBron is going to stay in cleveland for the rest of his career, he has an open ticket to the finals every year in the east, and with the recent free agents moves the east just got easier.

    Very good acquisition imo. I felt PJ Tucker would get around $12 mil while Jonathan Simmons possibly $8 mil.
    Simmons an up and coming player that I believe will make big strides this year.

    Rockets get an older but more experienced player that can hit some 3's while playing better than adequate defense.....on a relatively cheaper contract in today's NBA.

    Player....................DRtg (2016/17) per basketball-reference.com
    Nene...........................106
    Capela........................106
    Harden........................107
    Ariza............................108
    Chinanu (5 games)......106
    CP3..............................106 (Bev was 108)

    E Gordon......................113 (better defender than rating; but still has some flaws)
    Ryno.............................113 (great floor spacer on offense; extremely weak link on defense)

    Player (2016/17).........3PA......3PM.......3P%........
    CP3...............................5.0........2.0.........41%.......
    Ryno..............................7.0........2.8........40%........
    Harden.........................9.3........3.2.......34.7% (expect more attempts/per gm this season) Better be practicing CnS.
    Ariza..............................6.9.........2.4.......34.4% (Tucker allows more rest...practice CnS [catch n shoot])
    E Gordon.......................8.8.........3.3.......37.2%
    Tucker...........................2.5.........1.0.......40.0% says he is looking forward to open 3 looks w/Roxx. Up it to 4-5 3PA's

    Tucker is better shooting from the corners than "Above the Break" last year. This is good since Roxx players shoot
    a lot of shots "Above the Break" from Ryno/Ariza/Harden/Gordon/CP3

    Player (2016/17).........Left Corner.................Right Corner................Above the Break
    Harden........................31.6% (6-19)...............37.5% (9-24)...................34.9% (247-708)
    E Gordon....................40.9% (18-44)..............30.4% (14-46)................40.2% (107-266)
    CP3.............................55.6% (10-18)..............41.2% (7-17).................40.2% (213-568)
    Ryno...........................52.8% (19-36)..............55.6% (20-36)................38.0% (165-434)
    Ariza...........................32.8% (20-61)...............41.5% (56-135).............31.9% (114-357)
    *PJ Tucker..................40.5% (34-84)..............37.7% (26-69)................23.8% (10-42)

    I'm sure CP3 & Harden will get pull up 3's "ATB" as they start penetration from "ATB".
    And wing players rotate along the perimeter to "ATB" as Harden & CP3 drive-kick out.

    But I sure would like a little more proficiency in the form of more attempts from the corners.
    Perhaps off set Ariza (Rt C) & Tucker (Lt C) while in the game at same time. Or play Ryno more in the corners.

    Edited: site did not specify PJ Tucker zone numbers as for one team in particular (Suns/Raps) or both tabulated together.

    Welcome to Houston P J Tucker

    Age is not the issue. It's that juggernaut out on the bay that's the problem...
