    It’s weird because a big reason Houston got bounced was because of your guy Jalen Green and his inability to put the ball in the hoop.

    KD has been a great player in the league. My concerns are about health and durability. Pro players crowding forty are high risk. If he can stay upright, he will add a lot, but if he is injured for long periods, the team will have a huge hole.

    Right. I personally like the long, athletic and defensive mindset along with shooters. Having lineup of 6'7 to 6'11 players with 7 ft and up wingspan being able to play multiple positions all over the court will always beat that BS philosophy he's talking about.

    True, look at Indiana (Turner/Siakam) OKC (Hartenstein/Holmgren)

    Not sure where to put this, but are the Rockets pretty much limited to just 14 active players? Plus the 3 2-Way players they'll have, I'm no cap expert for the NBA, but how close are the Rockets to the 1st Apron & being Hard Capped, again don't have any idea how the NBA Cap works, I know the NFL cap, just not the NBA.

    Since they have said they look at KD like a SG, I'm curious if/when they'll run a Monstars lineup this season.

    PG: Amen 6'7
    SG: Durant 6'11
    SF: Jabari 6'11
    PF: Sengun: 6'11
    C: Adams 6'11

    Would love to see that in small amounts during moments where we have a lead and absolutely have to maintain it. 2 out of 5 shooters would make it a rather crowded paint, but it would be fun to watch.
