    He's still our gracious host here, and the man with more buttons. Let's show some respect. He has been providing a place for us to talk about the Rockets (and about life) for over 25 years. It doesn't matter that he would have traded Alpi for AJ Griffin or whatever else. We all have had bad takes.

    We don't know if this even a bad take yet, It's summer league and they're 20 guys. Lets revisit in 3 years

    We need size and shooting.
    Clingan was size.
    Shooting was Sheppard.

    Could have gone either way, and who was the best player available is still too early to tell

    Picking on Clutch for that, and above all created a thread for this is just stupid not to say worse.

    It’s not that serious, we can make fun of bad takes, like he makes fun of his Harold Minor take.

    I can’t post new threads or give out likes anymore. It actually IS that serious.

    Do we really need “size?” Sengun, Adams, Smith, and Landale are 6’11. Eason, Brooks, Amen, and Jeff Green are all between 6’7 and 6’8. I think we are fine, generally, size wise. Shooting was, far and away, our biggest need.

    Lol. I assume this post is in good humor. We all miss sometimes and more people here could learn to laugh at themselves.

    That's different, that's about the "core". We can laugh about draft, but the ”core" is a serious matter...

    Clutch is gonna need at least 10 more misses to catch up with my hype for Marquese Chriss.

    It’s not about the bad takes. But the stubbornness to die on that hill, and not willing to give credit when due.

    If it makes you feel any better, I once declared that Clint Capela would be a star and top 2 center in the league and him and Harden would bring us a chip for sure to my friends at a summer BBQ and still don't live it down...lol.
