    Addition by subtraction, especially with what he put up in the playoffs. Worse than Jeremy Lin ever was and that guy gets roasted here.

    Not sure why some people hate on this guy.

    He had some really good games for us. No one can deny that.

    He chose the Rockets over other teams when we really needed him.

    He came dirt cheap. We got more than our money’s worth.

    Was he a great player? No. But he did better than I thought he would.

    I’ll miss him. But we do need a good
    PG to back RW. Austin is a good combo guard, who needs to keep on improving his jumper. Good luck to you Austin, but not against the Houston Rockets!

    I think Clemons retains his role at the end of the Rockets bench playing only in garbage time because of the small amount of cap space he occupies (less than the 2nd year vet min). If he made any more , he'd be at risk of being replaced with a useful player.

    My overall impression of him with the Rockets is that appeared he humbled himself a bit. He always seemed like he was the guy who thought he was better than he actually was. He played his role on the team, fit in well and conducted himself professionally while he was here. I wish him success.

    He played pretty well relative to his contract. Had some good moments here and there. His defense was good and his driving game was fairly impressive. But the form on that shot is ugly as sin. How does a coach's son shoot like that?

    Rivers was dumpster juice in the playoffs. And in the regular season. And in the preseason. And in scrimmages.

    Bye Felicia.

    Although I agree with you, you are the most annoying and self-serving poster on CF.

    Y’all are so bitter. lol. Austin embraced the city like few athletes do and spoke very highly of us. He was solid on the court but I guess since HE didn’t lead us to a ship it’s F him? Lol. Good luck in New York, Austin.

    Lol. Great accomplishment. Had an account a few months after 1999, yet you are so superior that you have to tag others to fight your battle. You are such a loser. I will provide you some coco oil because you obviously aren't getting any.
