    I.D.I.O.T.

    This really recent interview from Kayte Hunter with Iman Shumpert is absolutely phenomenal. Rockets fans should check it out to see the type of person they are getting. Interview is long, but really good.

    Maybe you should post the video instead of the tweet that links to the video.

    To me Shumpert should start because he will be our best wing defender other teams best wing offensive player (e.g. KD, PG). I don't how Gordon will take it going back to the bench, especially because he is in his contract year, but it must be done.

    This proposed change won't likely happen in the coming weeks, but at some point MDA will need to have a sit down with Gordon.

    This is great stuff. My favorite part is when guys get to the point where they understand what they are. Nothing more, nothing less. @Deuce

    Shump is going to be a great fit here. someone who knows exactly what he needs to be on this team. Between him, PJ, and Faried the energy is about to be off the charts good

    I think he is going to fit in well. There will be great chemistry. On the surface he might not look all that special, but sometimes on teams it is the "sum of the parts" and I think in terms of "fitting in" he might surprise people.

    You get a REAL sense of his BB IQ when you watch that video.

    I am sure he is going to do well here, but I sure would love to have a taller player that can play the 3 and 4.

    Gordon's contract year is......next year, isn't it?

    In any case, our lineup is always in such flux that Gordon will probably start, be sixth man, be out with a sore leg, start, be sixth man, be out with a sore leg, etcetera.

    You are right. Gordon is in the third year of a 4-yr contract. Thanks.

    Chriss is expiring.

    Knight is hurting us so much by being on the bench that we are this desperate to package him with picks so we can have a marginal upgrade for less than half a season? We couldnt use those picks with half the other unplayable players with better contracts instead to get a better return?

    Purely money saving move that cost us a lot in the future. His attitude or whatever wasnt even considered
