    I guess they were very inspired by the Star Wars opening text crawl.

    Imagine that scrolling across a background of stars with epic orchestral music and it makes sense.

    Rockets had already reached their scrub limit…signing N’Faly would’ve come with overdraft fees

    Probably should have at least attempted to set a few real screens in Summer League.

    Glad we are churning through our low-upside fliers. We have 3 centers and Bari. There’s no pathway here for Dante.

    Absolutely nothing lost, he was a scrub. Old Capela was still faster and more athletic than N'Faly, and way more skilled.

    I don't get it. He had a solid game against OKC last year in one of the few he got minutes.

    Then in summer league, he looked like he never touched a basketball in his life. Oh well, nothing lost.

    Sucks for Nfaly, I think he also got injured during SL so this is def like kicking him while he's down.

    However it is also his fault as he spent a year and regressed instead of progressed just like Jeenathan. Maybe he ends up in Rio.

    Yeah I just don't see a need for him when we have Sengun, Adams and Capela and can go small with Bari or Eason.

    He’s destined for an All-Star career and likely a Hall of Fame spot, letting him go was a huge mistake.

    Signing Capela ended any future with the Rockets for Dante.

    Wish we just kept Jay Huff. He was amazing for us in Summer league, great last year for Memphis, and now might even start on Indiana. Dude's about to have a breakout year.
