    The difference is, sir, that DayWalker was posting something very relevant to the topic, whereas you are just pushing your TJ agenda.

    The way I look at Lawson's situation, I think he's worth the risk. In Denver he was in a situation where he was on a team with no player leadership, no strong coaching leadership, no structure. I think moving to a team like the Rockets would do wonders for him. Not to mention he'd be actually playing for a reason. If you know that your team has no chance at the playoffs before the season even begins, why not go out and tie one on every night?

    The Rockets love taking the outcasts of other teams. It's worked out well in the past.

    Top 10 of a team not top 10 in this league.

    You get him. He would be great along side Harden at the clubs.

    It's not like he's being lazy. The Nuggets are still going to try to salvage the best they can from a trade. If both the Pistons and Lakers are involved, then the Nuggets are trying to get a young player(s) from them that trump anything the Rockets can offer. Hopefully they both turn down the Nuggets and they are only left with us as an alternative.

    Took Zbo a while to get it together, nine years. Jones has higher potential and os in a better fit than Zbo in Portland or New York or LA. I think Jone is closer to turning that corner and this is only year three. Griffin took a big step as a player in his third year (fourth year, he injured his knee and miss his initial rookie season ). Jones can do the same

    You can get a rotation PF very easily.

    This is probably why Boozer, Hayes, etc. have been linked to Houston.

    No, you can't do a sign and trade with someone signed with the MLE

    zbo getting it meant landing in a destination that wasn't dysfunctional and stop shooting threes. jones is already on a good team and the rockets want their players to shoot threes.

    I know people are antsy but Making the trade right this second would be foolish. As of now it hasn't been determined whether or not Ty is going to get a massive suspension from the league or have to do jail time which could impact whether or not he's even able to get on the court much for you to start the season... Much less the headaches that could come as well.

    So while I get the whole notion of his trade value etc. to get a good deal NOW is actually not the time.

    Come October after things settle down and you know exactly what you can expect, then would be the time.

    No, he wasn't posting anything relevant. The point remains top 10 player on a team is a top 300 player in the NBA.

    Or bottom 180 player in the NBA. However you want to slice it.

    Yes to this Yes. Get him here. Bev got his money, let him manage the 2nd unit.

    Lawson/Bev is a solid PG duo, IMO.

    Oh ok thanks, maybe it's best to just sign KJ to full MLE at this point to get the 30 days rolling and to be able to package him later.

    I really want Ty here but I still want another shooter PF so we just can go full out run and gun like we did first yr harden got here with delfino, PPAT, Lin, parsons

    But with more D since Howard and Ariza here.
