    Nah, you don't get under my skin. It's all good.

    FWIW, I use "ALL CAPS" all the time as a way of emphasizing certain words. It's rarely used as a form of aggression or to reflect aggravation.

    Trust me, if I was mad at you, you'd know about it! ;)

    Chris Clemons signed with Celtics, I see... We were high on him before the Achilles.

    The Warriors literally made a dynasty with a guy that can't shoot that does exactly what Simmons can do but sure I guess. Solid post. I liked the lols at the end. Reads like something Christian Wood would write.

    Rockets need someone who can move the ball. There's too much one on one

    Yes, but he played with the #1 and #2 best shooters in history. When people say look how it worked with Draymond and Steph (and Klay) it makes it sound that Draymond is somehow the important piece. He was the complimentary piece.

    Include Isaiah Joe and Danny Green in Simmons trade.

    Snipa - Joe - Danny - Simmons - Wood.

    3ball threats everywhere.

    What's not to like?

    So Nix is confirmed, I got that one, but that was expected...

    Now the tricky part, the waiver... I'm sticking with the Training Camp MVP House... My gut feeling is that all these press leaks about how great House is and how he fits in Rockets future, MVP etc... are desperate attempts by Stone to drum-up some interest. I hope I am wrong, will be disappointed if Stone is that transparent, other GMs will sniff him out quickly. But the sitch reminds me a bit of the Oladipo's leaks before the trade deadline...

    My money's on Exum being waived , I believe he'd only cost them $2.5m as the other half of the contract is incentives that he obviously wouldn't reach.

    The difference between Simmons & That guy you on the Warriors is one of them buys into his role , the other wants to run ****.


    Simmons would be great at that role - IF he would buy into it - He wont.

    FYI, Exum's deal is totally non-guaranteed, so the Rockets would not take any sort of dead cap hit if they waived him. Still, I like that contract (and have always been intrigued by Exum's skillset), so I'd rather see a trade happen.

    On that contract , its very similar to the one Morey tried to give Nene a few years back and the league shot down .... Funny they approved this one. It is literally a TPE.

    I also think Simpson doesnt have the toughness and the mental make up of Draymond. Not even close to being the same guy.

    draymond was 40% 3pt shooter when they 1st won the title!!! lolololol

    you keep digging your hole with every post, better stop right now... ;)

    later on they brought durant and scott foster helped them more than the guy that couldnt shoot well, even tho he still took the shots but been hitting them at lower % unlike Benn Simpson

    It’s strange that put “the Warriors” and “can’t shoot” in a sentence.
