    I totally agree and I want Alpi and Reed gone.

    But want I'm saying is, you don't have to give up any of those guys to acquire Ja.

    We can use them for other moves.

    He makes shots with his pistol.

    Did you read my post?

    I didn’t say Ja for Reed…dumb ****

    And yes, I want that overrated, non existent on defense, bricking wide open shots for a supposedly great shooter midget traded this off season.

    I didn’t say in my post to trade them for each other.

    Regardless. Dumb move to take Reed off the team and add that malignant maxed often injured player.

    Give me some more great takes on team construction!

    Yes, let’s start by drafting a no defense midget over Stephon Castle because he’s a “great shooter.”

    He is a great shooter. Will likely be one of the top 3pt shooters ever when he retires. Any Rockets fan is lucky to have a winning player on the team like Reed.

    Definitely. But he needs some strong men in his life. And he needs to be held accountable before he does something he can’t walk back from.

    There is no buy low at his salary match point.

    Seems somewhat tolerable of a deal considering Ja's talent (despite his decline) but culturally, replacing one of the top culture guys in the league for the worst and then pairing him with the second worst (Durant) sounds like absolute culture annihilation.

    The whole team would implode by December.

    Could you imagine what Durant would say about Ja, or at least be thinking? Would get ugly fast.

    I say all this AFTER marinating on it cause I was thinking I'd bring him in for some of our guys and picks. I'd pass now.

    Ja is a guy who is more of a headcase than KPJ and significantly worse at basketball.....and is owed 86 million dollars over the next 2 seasons.

    Why the **** would ANYONE want that?

    That's one of the most radioactive contracts in basketball.

    Did we learn our lesson from guys like KPJ? Ja is not someone we need on this team.

    The character issues aside: dude can’t shoot and can’t stay healthy.

    Yeah, if you look past the character issues and the health issues, he's still terrible at basketball.....a true Ime type player.

    I still believe Ja has it. If he doesn't bounce back, he's an expiring contract next year, so it doesn't really hurt us long-term.

    Do you trust Fred that much? He reportedly has a torn ACL and tore both menisci. That's a devastating injury, and I don't think he'll be the same player right away. It also looks like he may not even be ready for the start of next season.

    Ja is a competitor. He's putting in the work this offseason to prove everyone wrong. If he returns to being a star, that's a huge win for us. If he doesn't, then it simply didn't work out, and he's still an expiring contract next year.
