Yes, I knew about Rihanna being an Aries Moon. Steve Jobs and Angelina Jolie are also Aries Moons. I was just using athletes in my last post. The Stars don't lie, Cam Whitmore will be a Star. I hope he gets traded to the Knicks, Celtics or Lakers so he can get some real playing time and become a household name.
Now you’re being insincere, acting like Cam didn’t get tons of opportunities and those were more than 5 minutes spurts. And even in those 5 minutes he should’ve been able to prove he could stay on the court. Eventually he didn’t, started to air his **** out in the media, pout on the bench and the rest is history. Scoring 34 points isn’t a I Told you so moment at all. Nobody ever claimed he wasn’t good at scoring and he has had several solid all round games where he got tons of minutes too. And last night did not prove he suddenly can be put in a play-off game and produce on both ends of the court. And Reed got TONS of minutes early that were not earned at all, they were all based on Summer League and belief in him. He never got it going, sent to the G-League and came back with more confidence and THAT is showing. Reed finally hitting shots and looking more confident is a direct result of how the Rockets dealt with him. Cam did nothing more than show that he can have these type of games once in every 10-20 games. Let’s be real, you can be happy for him, without resorting to pettiness and lies.
If he is traded and becomes a star, Stone should be fired.......if Cam is a star, or will be, it should be in Houston....you don't trade away Stars ever.....if you are trying to win. DD
Trading Cam at 20-22 would be pre mature unless he becomes a locker room distraction which he is not rn
I agree, but he will rot on the bench unless he plays perfect defense or if starters get injured. I guess he better pick up the pace on defense. Cam's offense is not the problem here, according to Ime.
All you have to do is trade Brooks and Cam has minutes....not that hard, Brooks served his time and did his job time to clear room for better players. DD
One problem, Brooks is still the better player. If Cam is better than Brooks, he will take the minutes. The only reason to remove Brooks is if you want more minutes for Cam, but know he can't beat out Brooks for minutes.
It isn't a problem at all, depends upon the make up of the overall team - Brooks is a better defender, but is not a better offensive player, and you have better defenders in Amen and Tari in the same position as Brooks so he is a luxury.....time to move him on. DD
I agree somewhat with what you’re saying regarding the value of having a solid vet for young guys to beat out. But this is a business, Brooks has trade value. you also can trade him for help at another position if you think that benefits the team more next year and in the long run. I’m probably not seeking a trade, though. I think Brooks is a keeper, long term. Doesn’t mean he starts … but I want as many 3PT shooting dogs like that on the team as I can get. think about it, Brooks shot 41% from above the break this year. That’s Top 15. (I think he’s #12 above the break.) Having a dog slot-shooter like that is always welcome. And he could easily transition with age into a corner shooter like PJ at 42-44%, a useful rotation piece for any contender.
That isn't really necessary, I was joking, but it is a good sign of character when you can admit it......well done... DD
You are such a dipshit, I said, if Cam becomes a Star or anyone we trade away does, Stone and Ime should be fired...... Nice try troll. You do realize it is the GM's literal job to choose the right players to keep and those to trade, and the coach, if his coaching is not good enough to uncover better players, then he gets axed too. DD
I am a really big fan of Cam. I have concerns about the overall basketball IQ, defense, and his ability to penetrate with the ball. Not only to score, but to create opportunities out of that. That being said, he is super young. Dillon Brooks has been absolutely great this year and I can’t see any scenario where I want him out of the rotation in the next couple years. Cam may end up being the asset that allows us to get a superstar. I understand the argument that maybe he should’ve played more to increase his trade value.
Agreed. Dillon shooting 41% from 3 this yr solidified his place long term for me. He’s only 29 and on a value contract. Fans are always pointing out that we need better shooters. Dillon was our best shooter this year. Especially with Tari’s injury history, keeping Dillon makes too much sense. On Cam the question we should be asking is, can he become as good a shooter as Dillon, and can he become at least a modest two-way player? If he can take that leap he’ll be on the floor for meaningful minutes next season. But if we are gonna have a rerun of this season, whether it’s because he’s not developing or we simply have better play in front of him, I think it’s okay to move on, even if he succeeds somewhere else. i do buy Cam’s shooting long-term. Im hoping for a big offseason from Cam. If he can solidify himself as a shooter he’s going to be hard to keep off the court. That’s a good problem to have.
That is the thing with new players, you never know.....Dillon was a 34-35% at best with Memphis.....and he is shooting way better. NBA works in mysterious ways.
I still don't understand why he's not getting "NO PT". He's not a locker room problem, Ime admitted he's a " BUCKET A MINUTE", when we need scoring, yet he can't get no PT? It doesn't make sense
