    Trade Tari for Grimes ASAP …DFS will already replace him … he’s the odd man out (we have too many forwards)

    I didn’t think any trades can be done until Dec 15th? I could be wrong

    He is the perfect Jamal Crawford for a lot of teams.

    His mom should slap him silly for playing so horribly.

    The lineups he's been on have absolutely been atrocious too. There is literally no spacing out there. I love Amen but he has a bit to learn before being a halfcourt game PG. There is also barely any good ball movement that we saw during preseason. What is with all this Iso ball and everyone standing outside to just Iso for a 2 some more. I've seen some bad basketball in my days but this is undescribable.

    Both OKC and Detroit play gritty switching defense, same as us. Our offense isnt sophisticated enough to deal with that kind of pressure. Against worse defensive teams they'll be fine but they are going to have to learn how to handle better defensive teams like those.

    Because Quentin Grimes accepted the qualifying offer from the Sixers, any team acquiring him will not have his bird rights for his unrestricted free agency next summer. That severely limits what a team acquiring him could pay him. He’s not a good trade target.

    He was offered a contract and declined, that's betting on himself.

    That is one way of interpreting it.

    He wants a better contract, I'm guessing? What's the other way of interpreting that?

    Or he just turned down a bad offer. Very simple.

    To me when you talk about gambling or betting you’re taking a risk from a secure position. In that case life is full of bets or wagers. A marriage, the school you choose, the friends you choose, the career you choose. I don’t see life that way but some people do and that’s ok.

    If it is a big dispute, it was likely not just betting on himself but just being unhappy about the details in a contract situation.

    He is not wrong, it was likely that Stone structured the contract in the way that Eason only gets his money when he plays this many minutes and the amount of games......

    But agents and families want more guarantees .....that is normal.

    We fans know little to no shet about his real health condition, we are all speculating at this point.

    In a normal job most peon people cannot even negotiate their terms so any discussion is being shut down.

    The fact you're going so much out of your way to defend the lack of character of somebody else says all I need to know about your own. That last statement says a lot too, you really have no idea what you're talking about, because you probably don't have any yourself. Hence the adamantly defending shitty behaviour and bad character.

    I just wish the board would calm the F down every now and again. I know I am just pissing into the wind with that request, but give it a few games. The way things are structured right now with the double bigs, Tari will not look great unless he can be a connector and hit spot up 3’s. The offense is going to run through Sengun, KD and Amen. Until Ime puts the double bigs back in the 10-15 minute box where it belongs, the Rockets will continue to struggle offensively.

    Tari simply hasn’t earned a starting opportunity… if so he would be starting.

    Tari looks like the odd man out in this lineup. Tari is deserving of a starting spot, but his role is limited when the double big lineup is our primary lineup. Not enough fast breaks, the lane is too clogged and his isn’t hitting spot up 3’s. I don’t like the double big being our primary lineup.
