    Kpj and Harrell will have a ladder match before the first game.

    John Lucas will turn into Denzel from American Gangster. Supplying all the drugs.

    This assumes Garuba stays healthy. At this point, i think you have to have a contingency plan in place given his health issues and lack of interest in conditioning.

    I'd rather the Rockets sign Marcus Camby lol. Seriously, this young team needs an old vet who's ok with getting paid to sit on the bench, be a great locker room guy and help the players be as professional as possible.

    Where is he going to fit on this team? We already have players that play his position that will pass his ass up.

    Also, he's too old for this young future core. Hard pass.

    I actually believed in Bryce Drew. There - I said it. I thought if he could stay healthy he would have been serviceable.

    Oh the ignorance of youth.

    This. We have a guy that can rebound, defend, fight for loose balls and make the 3 at a decent rate. Let's develop him.

    I hope we just keep Boban as backup for insurance, less needy and can be that glue guy in the locker room.

    depends on where his legal matters are at... if he's goin away, then we dont risk tying up a roster spot that may go into limbo...

    if he clears his matters - sure...

    maybe he'd get some meaningful minutes this go around... lol

    but i dont think we're filling holes this year...

    we're gonna keep who we wanna keep, cut as many guys from the trade as we need to get to max capacity, and play out the year with whoever we're already payin...

    Tilly already paid up to have Wall walk away... anymore of that is gonna be based on necessity i believe...

    unless of course a trade comes along and frees up space... then we're still keeping whoever we can avoid paying to leave... lol

    and thats not necessarily a bad thing... leave some holes... allow the guys to play all out - but still be lottery bound in all likelihood... without straight up tanking...

    No thanks. He is a guy you add when you are trying to win. We aren't there yet.

    Montrezl Harrell has behavioral problems and currently has legal problems. He called Luka Doncic a racial epithet two seasons ago (which shockingly went unpunished - can you imagine if the reverse had happened?) and now he was busted last month for transporting a tremendous amount of drugs in his car. No thanks -- if we sign a veteran, we need leaders who can be role models for the young core.

    Steph Curry,
    LeBron James,
    Kemba Walker,
    Luka Doncic

    ...all disagree with you.

    Is Boban even playable at this point? I’d rather give Holman a minimum contract.

    I liked him when he was in Houston and was upset he was "thrown in" the Chris Paul trade. That being said, his time has passed.
