    Think we are both laughing at you for thinking Tony Parker is the Spurs best player.

    and trust me you don’t know your mlb.

    Yeah clearly don’t. If you’re laughing I’m on the right side.

    Especially trying to use Peña in that reference. Trust
    You? No thanks to cf’s casuals

    Rockets best player is going to be Jabari and right now FVV is so good because of (AT LEAST 6'11) sengun. all Fred's tiny assists are going to Alpi, lol

    2nd half of the season update. This remains true

    I could’ve sworn there were people on here telling us FVV is basically a top 20 player with impact on the level of the likes of SGA and Harden according to the “metrics”

    he’s a massive upgrade over someone like KPJ, but dude is just so basic and bland as a PG

    Rockets spent major money on a non-top 30 player in the league

    His first 25 games he played better than he played last year with the Raptors.

    Then he started chucking.

    I do not love him but credit given where credit is due.

    This thread is a joke. Worst? Many people complained that he only passed it to Sengun for assists, but you tell me, who in our roster can pass the ball to Sengun without having a big chance turning the balls over? FVV is shooting .380+ on 3s and he doesn't turn the ball over too much. He almost gave you 4 rebounds per game as a midget. What's more are you asking for? He may not worth the max and that's very likely to be true, but his contract is only 2 year guaranteed. English is not my first and second language even I know the thread title should be "
    Fred Vanvleet is not an ideal FA acquisition in Rockets' past offseason" or something like that instead. Look, you don't get paid by people clicking in your thread like youtube so that's no need to do the "click-bait". People are always overreacting after a bad loss.

    Top 20 pg is not very impressive and that’s with his hot start. I was ok with the signing because we had to spend the money and the contract was only two years guaranteed. What a lot of us did not understand, is how bad a fit he is with virtually the whole team other than Alpi. He has reverted to the chucker reputation he had with the raptors. Ime better get a handle on his minutes fast or Stone/Tito are going to do something stupid.

    shoutout @YOLO for the find

    people were really acting like the much better player in James Harden would hurt player development…

    We simply don't have a solid backup at the PG spot. Holiday is doing fine as a vet-min level player but can't be relied on too much. Amen is not ready (hopefully soon). And that's it. Udoka tried Jalen and it's not pretty. So he is forced to play FVV heavy minutes even when he is "obviously" (with Ime's non-emotional voice) chucking.

    I hope Amen will get more burns even if it means losing a few more games.
