    I'll eat crow if they can turn it around. Hiring D'Antoni is a questionable move, which doesn't give rise to optimism.

    At start of free agency, Horford’s heart is in Atlanta

    Ryan Anderson is a good basketball player. Good teammate and good person. We could do a lot worse by spending $$ on players like Allan Crabbe and scrub Marvin Williams.

    I would disagree with this statement, given what the Rockets need.

    Yep, he was available at the deadline too but it seem like nobody wanted him, too bad they didn't bite with Lawson.

    There's at least one aspect of the game in which Anderson doesn't suck (3pt aside which is good but not that good)?

    To me this guy is one of the most overrated player in the league, everytime i here talk about him it seem like he's a young Dirk Nowitzki when in reality he's not even that good in the only solid aspect of his game. A declining Korver at 35 years old is still a better shooter and probably all around player than him smh...

    Good C's are VERY hard to find. Even Bogut is a huge goober with stone hands.

    Dwight is considered overrated but it's going to be very difficult to replace his defense and rebounding at his position.

    Look at Capela's numbers per 19.1 minutes (per game) so far...wait till he has 36 minutes...we'll be fine

    His rebounding? Yes. Absolutely.

    His defense? If it's anything like it was this past year? I'm not sure we'll miss that all that much.

    I'll put myself on the line here....Morey is not going to pay $18 million for Ryan Anderson or $20+ million for Mike Conley. What in Morey's past makes y'all think he would do that?

    IMO, here's Morey's plans A, B, C and on.....

    A) Durant
    B) Horford
    C) Resign DMo to a reasonable figure
    D) Get commitments from foreign players
    E) Scour the market for Ariza like contracts - Good role players that will sign below market deals.
    F) Evaluate trade opportunities using available cap room

    Dwight's Per 36 Minutes vs Capela's Per 36 Minutes

    Dwight: 13.2 TRB....1.5 AST....1.1 STL....1.8 BLK....2.6 TOV....3.5 PF....15.4 PTS

    Capela: 12.1 TRB....1.2 AST....1.4 STL....2.3 BLK....1.5 TOV....4.6 PF....13.3 PTS

    I think we'll be just fine lol

    Dwights gets alot of rebounds off of staying under the basket and allowing open shots instead of defending pick and rolls.
