    McGee is solid and I don't understand how teams keep letting him go, Lakers had him and they are now paying more for Harrell than it would be for both McGee and Howard. Harrell is getting killed defensively. Warriors made the mistake first, he was a big piece for them and they became thin at center.

    Love Caboclo. His only identifiable weakness is he is bad at basketball.

    Yeah. Too bad knicks picked up Taj Gibson. Rockets are quite stubborn. Not sure what management is looking at or has planned. Bruno is useless. Absolutely useless signing.

    Here is a suggestion to you :

    If you want to see more bigs, try to become a Piston fan, they will fit your taste.

    Btw, make sure you check the standing also.

    It has been clear for sometime we need a tall big with some weight to him to have any hope of contention. If you think otherwise, you are not paying attention.

    Rockets need bigger wing players. That would be nice.

    But, we have no money.

    I was thinking the same thing. At some point 4 shooters on the floor is enough; if they can't stand up to a light breeze on the defensive glass you need one Otis Thorpe guy in there.

    6’9 23 year old PF that will be a RFA this offseason. Put up 20/10 splits the last two years. Hawks might look to unload.

    Collins would be perfect next to Wood.

    The same way some of these far fetched trade scenarios will happen.... But seriously, I'm over the whole "stretch 4/5" players...especially dudes that's been cut repeatedly or hasn't done squat over the years ( Woods, Whiteside are exceptions)... Most of these players people want won't even make an impact big enough to help this team... IMO we lack toughness and physicality... Things an undersized stretch 4 won't provide... We need an Otis Thorpe or Dale Davis type... Not saying they'll make a big impact offensively but a mindset impact...

    What in the world?

    o_O

    David Nwaba and Jae’Sean Tate have a 23.4 NET RTG with a 90.9 DRTG in 50 minutes played together so far. Sterling is closer to being the worst of the 3.

    While true, we have nothing to offer for a 23 up-and-coming PF unless they take Landry's gift cards.
