    The tank may face a harder time losing a four star general. He was critical at the battle of the bulge.

    Never liked Patton, a Center who shoots 3 pointer on a team on the floor that doesn't have any trees for offensive rebound. Got some minutes yet rebounding harder for him than shooting the ball. If you play C, you shoot 36% for the season that needs G League seasoning.

    He's a nice addition. He will need to improve his passing skills if he wants to make it in the NBA. I like his shooting and he surprised me with his turn around jumper in the post. A solid G league player, no doubt. Welcome to the Houston Rockets, Armoni Brooks.

    Let’s just get it over with and empty the vipers roster into the rockets. The Houston Vipets. I’m ready. Call it “culture change”.

    Stone: “we determined that the nba players we had on our roster weren’t a good fit, like Oladipo. We were able to get a 2042 1st round pick swap protected 1-29. If the pick doesn’t convey in 2042 it goes away completely. We thought it was material and we are very happy with our return.”

    “but don’t judge the deal now. Judge it in 2050”

    I am not sure the Rockets could win the G league right now.

    BMac went down this year in production. He wasn’t as automatic as last season. I think he was use to sitting in the corner and catching passes from Harden. It’s all about rhythm. Patton looked uncomfortable in the mins he got. I love the 3 bigs HOU has now.

    I agree. He hasn’t had consistent minutes any he’s a lot better than what he’s shown so far.

    Bias being that he's a former Coog, awesome news for him

    Yeah, I have watched him get progressively better over the years.

    He is really good at knowing what his limitations are but also still working to expand his game.

    He isn't satisfied easily and has gone from a so so college scorer, to a shooter, to a defender, to someone that can put the ball on the floor and drive if the defense gets lazy.

    I like him as a long term valuable NBA role player.

    Avery Bradley would seem to be a very good template for him. Not sure he's that level peak defender, but that's a good person for him to watch and learn from.

    He was the top 3pt shooter in Gleague... and former Cougar. Reminds me a little of Lou will... just a really pure shot.
