I know 2020 was the COVID year that threw everything into flux, but yikes, YODA that year was "Attack of the Clones"-level bad. Overall seems like...
I mean, Batum was basically the #3/#4 starter on the Lillard/Aldridge Blazers that KO'd the Harden/Howard Rockets in 2014. and earned a near max...
Your description sort of sounds like a Robert Horry, Nic Batum, or Jabari Smith Jr., which sounds rather disappointing from a top-5 pick, but is...
This was my single favorite anecdote from the podcast, the fact that this guy just straight up beat out all these higher ranked recruits to lead...
I agree, Jock seems like the absolute perfect hedge against a variety of worst case scenarios for the Rockets, with minimal downside. I would be...
Reed Sheppard* definitely has the highest potential for unintentional name misspelling on ClutchFans since Pat Beverley. With at least two...
I think it's reasonable to say that there are simply too many deficiencies in Jalen Green's game right now to project him getting to...
I'm sure that a 24-year old Kobe Bryant sexually assaulting a 19-year old hotel worker the night before he had unapproved knee surgery, while his...

I think that Stone has gotten a lot better since he took over in 2020. In hindsight, the Oladipo extension would have been a terrible move at...
Udoka might be a proponent of #BetOnYourself and had confidence in being able to turn around Houston's roster, but you should take off the Rocket...
I'd rather the Rockets do all the "obvious" moves that end up being correct, rather than trying to go off-the-board and be seen as brilliant. I...
I think that at the end of the day, Stone and Witus have absolutely earned extensions, based on how their moves to accumulate top-level talent...
There is a risk for any RFA for them to sign an unpleasant offer sheet that heavily impacts their trade value. The worst structure I can imagine...
I find it much more helpful to consider % of the cap and comparable players when looking at potential extensions: Assuming a $155M Cap in 2025 -...
