    Chicken Little is a story about overreacting to life....nevermind.

    Run it back...lets retain Capella and Luc. Though I'm still in favor of adding new things to our offense.

    People tend to forget that RFA signings take longer to complete then UFA and trades. With the market/money drying up in basically 48 hours, so many moves going at once, and the sort of surprising loss of Ariza I understand why people may be paranoid.

    Let’s just remember that we just completed the first official day of free agency everyone. There is two full months before preseason ramps up. Yes it’s going to be a more difficult season because of the cap and certain unfavorable contracts (Anderson) but we will know more soon.

    Everyone just needs to take a deep breath and relax a little bit. Things will turn out ok.

    I’ve heard he’s a bonafide wing

    Yes, hopefully the Lakers offer Capela something like 15M a year. That's a steal for Capela.

    @Plowman you should know by now that you need to filter through most reactions on the board to keep a nice objective read on reality.

    West Cavs don't scare me in the slightest. Bring them on.

    TLDR.

    Up 3-2 on the GOAT team with a barely healthy Chris Paul and an injured Luc/Ryno...

    RUN IT BACK.

    Losing Ariza was a huge surprise to me , mainly because we lack the financial ability to replace him …. Not just lot but lost with no return and no way to fill the void.

    Morey's gonna have to work some magic to get better.

    The one saving grade IMO Is Ryno's big contract that everyone seems to view as a negative, I see it as a positive. That contract allows you to take on a significant contract / high quality player.

    How can you be a 99er and not understand that cf.net has always had the emotions of a 12 year old girl who got her first period and an angsty teenager all rolled into one?

    Losing Ariza is addition by subtraction.. No more playing guys to be Harden's "My Buddy" Seems like PJ Tucker took his role now.

    No it isn’t. If you watched him actually play all season you’d know that.

    To be honest I do think if you look at Ariza all of last season I think he’s mostly replaceable except for one aspect: his defence on Durant.
    I know Durant still got his but I do think Trevor played the best one on one defence I’d seen anyone play against KD

    If it wasn't so dumb it would be funny.

    I've seen folks all over this board for months talking about how Ariza was slipping, not playing great D, not hitting his shots, etc..How he was done as a great 3 and D guy.

    Yet, now that he is gone, all the sudden his loss is what will doom the Rockets chances next year.

    Make up your minds people.
