    He’s going to tear his ACL with that kind of stress on his legs.

    Long term investment yes. Short term that looked scary as hell, when that big long stick man strides into the basket with new found confidence.

    I want to see Adams and Clint make all ten of their personal fouls count. Sengun can stay in front of him but will get played over the top.

    Do you think this is a charity thing? Not sure if you realize Hakeem is likely among the most expensive basketball trainers in the world. Whatever he’s paying forward, they’re paying him back ten fold. Nothing wrong with getting paid, just noting that this is not a “for the game” thing he’s doing.

    Also @Dobbizzle the rockets can’t afford to sign him exclusively + he has multiple businesses he actively runs. I don’t think it’s feasible to bring Hakeem in house. But I do wish he said no just this one time.

    I have no idea what his fees are.
