    Lamelo’s own father doesn’t think he’s a winning player.

    I wish the Rockets would have gotten Kawai Leonard instead of Marcus Morris.
    I wish the Astros would have gotten Derek Jeter instead of Phil Nevin.

    No to LaMelo. if anything we want to convince that whack franchise to pair him with Jalen for an exciting backcourt duo and trade us pick #4 (we'll give them #10 also). I'm wanting Kon as a JG replacement.

    Jalen Green played all 82 games last Season.

    82 games this Season and 7 games in the Playoffs - 89 Games Total.

    Give Jalen Green credit playing through sickness for 2 weeks in the Cold Weather at Chicago and Milwaukee during that stretch, coughing and breathing heavy during games, being fatigued, Physical injuries with knee contusion, wrist injury, most likely foot injuries running and jumping.

    The medical staff did a great with the Rockets Players compared to years past.

    what? He’s not a go to scorer dude. He’s not a great scoring guard. Never has been in his career. Pacers current offense dont use him as a go to scorer. That offense is based on movement, screens, constant attacking and read and react to get the best shot.

    I think that Stone needs to bring players in that can play offense and shoot the ball, even if Ime doesn't like it.

    I also believe it is much easier to teach good offensive players how to play good defense than for good defenders to learn good offense.

    Indiana is a great example....

    We need to focus more on people that can play offense to balance our our team.

    Ralph Sampson for Clyde Drexler and Portland 1984 2nd Pick - (Michael Jordan)

    Rockets rejected that deal, years later it was a Catastrophe.

    Clyde Drexler and Michael Jordan became even Greater than Ralph Sampson.

    Wish I could see the look on Melo's face when Udoka just flat out buries him on the bench.

    Lamelo's got all the natural talent in the world but he doesn't give jack **** about winning. Year after year he doesn't take his conditioning seriously and then gets injured. Year after year he rots on the Hornets instead of demanding to go to a properly run team.

    He loves it there tho, no media attention at all and he can just do whatever he wants without any criticism from their fans since they're so desperately for any players.

    That is an amazing lob. Is that the best one of the decade?

    We would look great for the first 20 games and then suck after he got hurt and we traded away our depth.
