    More than 1 way to skin a cat.

    "Small Ball" was always a misnomer anyway.

    He was never off the market. The problem is Dipo’s trade value has significantly dipped since we got him. He is basically a net negative now.

    Can't wait until the trade deadline is here. Then we can actually play the good players we are hiding away in the G-league,. aka Porter & Kmart Jr.

    I think Dipo gets traded before the deadline ends but it won’t be for the Rockets fans expect. It’ll be fare lower value in return then the expectations were .

    Well yah... if it works, you’d like it...because it works.
    but it’s not, and hasn’t, so naturally you don’t like it...

    is that not why we like or dislike things? That’s like saying if the hot sauce wasn’t so hot you would like it. Well, yah, I don’t like it because it’s hot as **** and makes me uncomfortable. They don’t like small ball because it hasn’t worked at all and they keep losing. Who likes a losing strategy?

    Small Ball means your five best players on the court regardless of size

    Yep

    Methinks Silas does not under "small ball" and is taking it quite literal like most of the ignorami.
