While that's certainly true regarding the staff, we also need another guard that can actually still play.
He can play 10-15 mins no doubt.....and he can coach Reed as a PG way better than anyone associated with the Rockets today. DD
And. as many pundits have mentioned, he tends to wear thin after a year or so -- and this would only be for half a season. And the Clippers org and current Clippers players are not like Houston at all. Kawhi and co run away from accountability. I don't think Ime has a problem with hard nosed players that demand a certain level of accountability from every single player, particularly the stars. If KD is okay with it, then I say bring him in. I dunno how that works contract wise for a trade but don't give anyone up that has played any meaningful minutes this season, including JD Davidson.
I don't know who any of those "insiders" are. Regardless, I know that the Rockets only have 1 active PG on their roster, Reed Sheppard, and Ime has him on a short leash. I also know that our offense outside of Reed, which is basically just isos & putbacks, won't carry us farther than the 2nd round. Considering the foregoing, if Ime thinks Chris has enough juice left in him to run the offense for 20 minutes a night, then I'm certainly for it. Maybe Chris really is washed. But he also played in 82 games for the Spurs last year, and averaged over 7 assists per game in 28 minutes. So was he really that bad on the Clippers? Maybe. But then again, maybe he didn't have anyone to pass to.
