    It's the coaches fault. Need to build the offense around him otherwise he never will have the chance to show.

    What does he need to show?

    Ha. That's laughably and demonstrably untrue.

    Rafers big problem was shooting and he wasn't a great defender. Good passer and handler though. Not a bone head either like Lin.

    Spanouiis was bad at shooting, defending and passing. Basically he was a slower paler version of Rafer without the things that enabled Rafer to have a successful NBA career, and that fact had Spanouiis on the first plane back to Greece, aka the place so bad Syrian refugees don't even bother to stop.

    Your fixation with him is so thoroughly documented I shudder to think of how bad a retrospective of your posts would make you feel

    I won't do it, out of kindness.

    V-Span. There's a name I haven't heard in a while.

    Glad the Rockets have come around and recognize that he is a nice complimentary player.

    Let's not, shall we?

    We've all been wrong about things.

    I wanted Caron Butler over Yao. I thought Stromile was going to be an All-Star. I thought Mike James Round II was going to be a Sixth Man of the Year candidate. I thought Ty Lawson was going to enable us to go toe-to-toe with GS. I could probably go on.

    Who cares if you thought V-Span was the s*** 10 years ago?

    Let's keep this thread on topic.

    What is overpay anymore?

    There is a lot lot more money in the NBA than talent right now.

    I'd be willing to give D-mo more than most I suspect

    Is that sarcasm, would any team in the league build their offense around Dmo caliber player?

    Maybe in the D-League

    I don't see why we need to make a pitch to him at all. He's a RFA, if Morey wants him to be a Rocket he's going to be a Rocket.

    Because we're not gonna match a lucrative contract. We have to convince him to sign for less

    In that case he should be cheering for Wiltjer because he is going to push the likes of Dmo to the side.

    LOL - yeah, Von Wafer, Aaron Brooks, Kevin Martin, Carl Landry - it is annoying that narrative.

    I like a certain STYLE of player - a guy who play unselfishly and moves off the ball.

    You know what forget it. I have reported that IDIOT a hundred times for the same thing but absolutely nothing is done by the mods. He's allowed to repeatedly again and again to insult a whole country he has never set foot to.

    So I will start insulting back.

    Your fixation with Greece has reached on the other hand a sickening level. It's so thoroughly documented in this forum that would require immediate psychiatric assistance if ever any professional saw it and would inevitably lead to a lobotomy.

    How do you make fun of the poverty situation in greece while simultaneously asking people to donate to a -- fight poverty cause?

    I think Vspan sucks, but your trolling goes too far sometimes. You can do all that without bashing Greece.
