    No, not years. He's already 1.1 years into the years. I would say he's ready to be a rotation player soon and a legit winning starter next season. Just needs more muscle and reps at PG.

    Just because we got KD doesn't mean some timelines don't get disrupted. We got KD because he's the guy about to pass Michael Jordan for points in NBA history.

    One of the adjustments is: throw Reed to the wolves, see how he does. Personally I like it. I think they were planning on doing it with or without FVV injury.

    Lol I like it, passing up Jordan in scoring but being so much worse than Jordan overall in championship legacies and team achievements.

    If I got selected to be the 3rd best at chicken frying out of everyone in the world for that year and I'm getting paid 10M usd a year and I sucked at frying chicken I would be ok with people hating on me. I would suck it up since I'm making so much money and work on my frying skills.

    Btw no one is coming to Reed's face and hating on him. Are you Reed? lol

    You wouldnt get prime MJ with Jalen and Dillon Brooks.

    Plus KD has been great the past 2 games its not his fault we been losing.

    Dont worry guys next opponents are the Nets who have Cam thomas and a bunch of scrubs and they are coming off a B2B from the Spurs. This is Reed's time to shine.

    If I remembered correctly, the Nets swept us last season, and among one of these two loses, Reed and Amen's poor decision making at the end are the main reasons we lost

    Last thing we need is another guy with a bad jumpshot. There's a Stephon Castle in every draft.

    What that would tell you is Fred and Dillon were the real MVP's. It wasn't Ime that turned us around, it was them.

    Everyone Nets' player can freely score on Sheppard. The only way for rockets to lose this game is to let Reed get another 15 minutes playing time in the second half.

    Good game against a bad team.

    I feel like Ime will go with Okogie and bring Reed in. Feels like the right move.

    Reed Sheppard split between minutes that matter vs minutes that don't has to be insane.
