    He's a good defender for 1-2, but not like a top defender. He has good bball iq that also helps with more complex defensive shemes.

    It wasn't nonsense months ago, and still isn't.

    It remains to be seen if we'll have the baby, but after all this time, a smidgen of patience at the moment of truth, isn't too much to ask.

    I mean, we're dug in/well positioned...and now you just want to Exit Stage Left?

    I think we’re happy with our squad as is and ready to roll with this crew.

    We’re not continuously calling T Wolves or out there searching for third teams. We took our shot.

    Just like Carmelo last year, it wasn’t as close as everyone thought. And that one should have been closer cuz at the time Melo only wanted to come here.

    Also, I don’t think you guys realize how much D’antoni loves and values EG.

    The higher demand, the better for us.

    Heat are out already. Every team is out already. For now, we are the only team with "Strong Push".

    We really need the third team to help.

    I don't think it's a move the Rockets have to make in order to potentially win it all this year, so I kind of want them to be done with it and focus on what they have.

    Every time I've watched Brogdon play, I've been impressed by his thoughtfulness on both sides of the court. I mean, he's clearly thinking, concentrating, anticipating; so he's almost always in the right position defensively, making the right pass to lead the shooter into scoring position, etc. He's big, strong, and athletic enough, but what elevates him, imho, is how smart he plays. Oh, and fundamental-- I can remember blurting out loud, "Look at that two-handed chest pass!" And he's got some dog in him.

    That's because you don't think Cousins will be useful for the Warriors. I disagree with that some and their chemistry is only getting better. The notion that they could have won in 5 with Iggy is actually true. Getting Butler without giving up Tucker or EG is an absolute home-run.

    That's true, I look at broken down Cousins as a serious liability for the Warriors when playing the Rockets. The notion that they could have won at all last year without CP3 getting injured is untrue.

    I think if they play Cousins then Capela will be even more effective than he was against their death lineup. I dont see boogie making the hustle plays at center that green makes vs capela

    Heat are seeking for cap release to get Butler by offering Whiteside.
    Whiteside totaled just 26 points, 30 rebounds and six blocks in the five-game playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers last season.
    Whiteside, 29, is owed $24.4 million and $27.1 million in the final two years of his contract,

    Butler comes to Houston!

    The next step after strong push is ............

    We can bring up the Luc angle some, but it's a shorter series if neither Paul or Iggy get hurt imo.
