    Never liked Austin Rivers, not when he was here as well but at least he is not that kind of Ahole.

    There is fandom but I guess like with Brooks fans have to stay genuine to themselves at times.

    Honesty above Hypocrisy for me at least. Did not like his game, did not like his in game personality.

    For sure and Marcus Smart is going to more than replace him, I like watching the Grizz minus Villain.

    Could be a Win win......but Fred VV is more important to the team than a 28 minute per game crybaby.....

    You don't pay enforcers almost 90 million dollars.

    The Rockets could dig up Larry Smith and pay him a couple hundred thousand if they want someone to crack other players.

    Unfortunately Malice in the Palace changed a lot of things.

    Now you can't taunt, mean mug, frown, display or talk toughness directed at an opponent or team (bench).

    One reason I don't care for Dillon....he thought he was going to get in LeBrons head. That was dumb. Only inspired LeBron. Don't give bulletin board material.
    Just play hard....the rest is just for show.

    Eraser? Hakeem was the ultimate eraser along with his brilliant offensive skills.

    clearly every team needed an ethnographer, particularly after the NBA went global

    Every teams needs an Evan Eschmeyer. The guy was so unselfish that he sacrificed his game by averaging the same amount of fouls as points.
