    Fair enough, then this is incredibly stupid. Cam Whitmore had nothing to do with what "style" the Rockets played last season and he'll have nothing to do with what "style" the Rockets play this season no matter if he's on the team or not.

    So, apparently you went back and read my previous post and now you can comprehend what I'm saying.

    At this point, I think the Rockets are moving backwards. The starting unit is primarily made up of half court players; Sengun, FVV, KD and Jabari to a certain extent.

    That leaves only Amen, Tari and Cam as the only athletic players on the roster.

    So, if Cam is traded, that means we are going to be a SLOW IT DOWN, DEFENSIVE TEAM....Which means we are going towards a 90's brand of basketball and that's NOT going to equate to a Championship.

    Oh, i had always read it, I just assumed you were lying rather than being laughably stupid. If I'm honest, I still think you're a liar because the angle where you're just being stupid makes no sense.

    The ONLY change to the team's athleticism among players that actually see time on the court is Jalen being out and KD being in.

    Dillon Brooks is not a highly athletic player and Cam doesn't play.

    The funny thing is that what you are crying about is the Rockets improving their offense by dumping 2 low TS% guys in Dillon and Jalen and replacing them with higher TS% players in Jabari and KD.... you know, the opposite of "90's ball"
