    he played pretty well in kenny atkinson's system last year, which is sort of similar to the rockets.

    Wow. Definitely did not think someone with more than 1 year remaining would get bought out.
    Very interested to see how much money was given up.
    I like this move

    What's the catch?

    Did Pop stand with Hong Kong or something?

    The retreads continue!

    Very solid pickup though. He killed us in his Raptor days

    Can’t argue with this as a buyout move. If he flames out, you didn’t give up anything


    Oh who am I kidding, the first time Carroll misses a shot the board will meltdown and cal Morey a bad GM lol

    Especially since we all know Morey simply treats them all as “assets”...

    36% eFG this season? OUCH!

    Is he washed? He was fine last season. Does he have a nagging injury nobody knows about?

    Bruh...we have Sefolosha on our team...







    He may or may not work out but he is not exactly Sefolosha on offense.

    All he needs to do on offense is drill open 3s and drive to the hoop on the closeout, and based on the above, he seems to be better than both Sefolosha and House at it.

    not sure how much he has left in the tank, but even if his shot isn't falling he can probably contribute something. he's a competitor like a tucker-lite, a physical and feisty player on D and chasing loose balls
