    We're not a contender, but I'd gladly take him for the vet minimum.

    The rockets have a better version of DeRozen in KD.

    I’d love to have him on the vet min off the bench. We need all we can get on the bench

    On one hand, yes, we’re a retirement home.

    On the other hand, you thought the paint/MR was crowded before. :eek:

    But finally, no. We already have @DD at home. ;)

    Has there been some rumor that the NBA might get rid of the 3 point line this next season or something?

    At the vet min, yes. We don't want KD playing every game anyway and it'd be nice to have scoring off the bench. He's an iso player and we're an iso team

    He won't sign here, a mid-range scorer and Rockets has no spacing.

    Also, KD already here.

    Yes but not happening. He has so many better options.

    I understand the concerns about jamming up the mid range. I talk about it as an issue all the time and it is 1,000,000% there.

    that being said, we need NBA players that can create offense for themselves and DD can do that. The mid range might be his forte, but he probably can get to the rim better than anyone on our roster. That also speaks to how poor we are in that department.

    if he is willing to come off the bench and be a sixth man then I would definitely look into this. A lot of the mid range stuff can solve itself by Duran Duran Duran Duran spending more time outside of the three-point line as somebody that catches and shoots. Not to mention Sengun can get his ass out of there.

    The Rockets aren’t a title contender. He could end up with the Cavs or Celtics.

    I wouldn’t mind him as a 20 mpg scorer off the bench, but ain’t nobody coming to the Rockets who actually has options

    I would abstain from watching the Rockets for a year if this team contains Demar and KD next year…
