    He's likely to be a UFA and my guess is he goes highest bidder at age 32.

    Rockets defense will still likely be terrible this season.

    I know it's crazy but is it.... just crazy enough to work.

    FWIW i hate Draymond but this would be amusing.

    And remember next year is a "win now" year courtesy of aGM Harden & Ferttitas brilliant Russ gambit

    I heard Jalen Green has a glass jaw so it's a No for me.

    I'm sure Lucas would get him straight in no time.

    We STILL have Rockets fans crying their eyes out about one of the best players on the team throwing soup years ago when he was on a different team...I don't think going after a headcase that throws fists at his own teammates would go over.

    Will just need to make sure all cell phones and video recording devices at not in practice sessions.

    Despise Draymond but I am down. He would bring toughness and championship experience.

    Can you imagine how quickly Draymond would have Porter in the hospital?

    Also Green would walk all over Silas. Green would move Silas out of his office and into his car in the parking lot within a week.

    In this case, we would need it! I would make sure all my valuable assets are protected.

    I would not watch a single game or root for the organization till he was gone. I would root against him in every game and root for him to get injured, same as i do now. I would rather lose then win that way, winning a title with him would be meaningless to me. He can go F*** himself elsewhere.

    Rockets have Tari Eason. So ...no.

    Best part, Tari isn't a mouth breather.

    If I'm not mistaken, Draymond's motivation at age 32->33 is to get P-A-I-D over getting a 5th (or 6th ring).

    Certainly seemed that way when he unloaded a Superman Punch to Jordan Poole's face.

    He also wouldn’t be nearly as good. Take away how he gets officiated and give him regular officiating and who knows if he can even stay on the court
