    Good point, I forgot about that.

    Never mind that Yi sucked.

    I don't envision Kohl of the Bucks wanting to pick up a $15,000,000 check for a team that isn't going anywhere.

    I certainly can if he's losing $15,800,000 in salary obligation. :)


    Edit: Actually losing $16,200,000 in salary obligation.

    Rondo can dominate a game when he puts his head in it for sure. But, we've Lin do that. At this point, I would still put Rondo ahead of Lin due to resume and of course his game. But Lin isn't far behind IMO. others may disagree of course.

    Harden may have done well for himself. BUt he does have flaws that needs to be improved upon. He is a great talent no doubt, and not many people can plug in a 6'5 Left with that type of athleticism in the NBA for sure.

    He can still work on improving his Defense, his ball handling, his passing, his rebounding, and even his shooting. DId I miss something?

    Rafer ALson? seriously?

    um Lin is probably that guy, but we know that won't happen due to McHale and the ROckets preference for Beverley at this juncture. Someone like ROndo if he can fit in would be a tremendous addition to the ROckets if healthy and sane.

    actually agree with this. Parsons can still improve and get better which is great for the ROckets

    His passing? are you kidding me, he is one of the best passing SG's I the league with sublime court vision..His defense is starting to get better because he is or was getting healthier. His rebounding isn't great, but it's not bad either for a SG. He averages close to 5 which is the norm for SG's.

    no disagreement, Harden is a pretty good passer, but it can improve. My point is every basketball player needs to improve. That is LBJ's personal motto. He gets better everyday. LBJ is almost the perfect cyborg if you have to make a B-ball player. He's great at everything, and he's still trying to get better Ala his FT shooting.

    What you meant to say is shot selection which is warranted.

    Harden's game is still pretty much like Lin's game.....amazing at times and head scratching at times.....The guy does some amazing drive to the basket then follow that with dribble..dribble clunk.

    But he is our point guard. You can't compare his playmaking skills to other shooting guards. When comparing to other point guards, he does NOT do a great job of involving his teammates and his assist/to ratios are amongst the worst in the league.

    Would his role change with Rondo? I would certainly hope so but I can foresee a total train wreck (especially with McHale as the coach).
