This has been a no brainer and the least kept secret since Wall announced he was sitting out the beginning of the season.
Agree, he can clean up the mess that KPJ / Green can't handle & you bring in Gordon immediately when you want to give rest to the backcourt. It makes the most sense. House should be traded asap.
Iko says Tate, Gordon, and House have all cycled in with the starters, but he thinks Tate should start. Completely agree. Tate balances out the other starters well. My preference is something like… KPJ / Augustine / Exum Green / Gordon / Christopher Tate / House / Nwaba Wood / KMJ / Garuba Theis / Sengun / Garuba
I like how Alpi uses his body on post moves. That is going to go a long way once he gets used to the speed of the NBA and he gets in better conditioning. He will live at the FT line and give some 2nd units some trouble. Can't play a undersized defender on him when he uses his body like that.
The Rockets did have Harden right as he entered his prime. Still, the reason the Rockets are paying Wall to stay off the court is because he sucks. The reason the Rockets were pissed Harden wouldn’t come to camp is because he’s really good. If Wall was anywhere close to being as good as his contract suggests, the Rockets wouldn’t be ok with him sitting out.
I wouldn't be surprised if Harden has a longer wingspan than both KPJ and Green and wingspan is arguably more important.
John Wall does not suck… He’s just not good enough to justify his contract and we have a backlog at guard at a time where we don’t have the roster to highly compete anyways.
