    Assuming KD's healthy and can be the Rockets leading scorer, FVV's biggest question mark going forward will be his 3pt shooting. Dude needs to shoot like he did last playoffs, and not what he shot last regular season. To me he's a question mark, and you at least feel better if the Rockets can sub in Sheppard in games he's putting up 2-10 shooting.

    He has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about. We are a LT team and 100% will stay that way. FVV was not a “sometime starter” or “decent” in Toronto - he was an All-Star. And DLo hasn’t played a minute of winning basketball ever.

    Honestly, DD might be the worst poster here if you add the inaccuracies with the strength of opinion with the constant barrage of repetitive, unsupported posts. Just a waste of space. Bobby is horrible also but he’s left often just factually wrong.

    Not that I want DLo over FVV nor do I share a lot of DD's opinions, but if you are going to point out someone else's inaccuracies, you really shouldn't be posting inaccuracies yourself. DLo and FVV. have the same number of All-Star game appearances, so if your argument is that FVV was once an all-star, that same accolade applies to DLo also. DD is also not wrong calling a some time start or decent in Toronto. FVV was indeed a bench player in the Toronto championship year. And he was atrocious in that year's playoffs. Ever since he became a starter, FVV has been 1-3 in playoff series. With the only series win against a Brooklyn team still resting injured Kyrie and KD in their first year with the team. He has yet to beat a real playoff team since becoming a starter.

    So if you want to talk "winning basketball" regarding FVV, either you are talking about regular season success, or post-season success carried by an all-star cast (Kawhi, Lowry, Siakam, and OG on that Toronto team). Neither of which are all that impressive. Even if it's a bit more impressive than DLo. But of course one is paid $25mil the other is paid $5mil. So there is that.
