Fred VanVleet Extension

DFS would have been a good signing IF he was healthy and could maintain what he was doing in the previous few seasons. In fact, with a 100% DFS, we didn't have to get Capela. Jabari and DFS could be part-time small ball center backing up Adams.

I am not sure how much Stone knew about DFS's injury. Looking back, he either (1) underestimated the damage, or (2) didn't do his homework, or (3) he knew and that's why he signed Capela as Adams' backup. I don't want to believe in (1) and (2) because they look like professional incompetence. If it was (3) then he committed assets on center depth rather than guard depth. That means he underestimated the risk of 100% relying on FVV for a functional backcourt.

 

I saw FVV in person just a month ago and he was still limping pretty badly.

I'll make this bet: If FVV comes back before the end of March, I'll break up with Sydney Sweeney.

 

Dude, no.
I'll foot the bill for the Vitamin E. Just don't be a fool.

 

Cowboys need to punt in FVV until next season. I’m pretty sure they intended to but they have to keep cooking for the clutch fans but that’s not an easy injury to come back from. I’d rather he be ready for next season at least 75% than come back early at less than 50

 

You just destroyed all good expectations. Thank you

 

Well, that was a month ago.

He might be perfectly fine by now!!!!

(I'll believe it if you will.)

 

DFS was needed. FVV was needed. Capela was acquired with trade surplus that likely couldn't have been used on a better player.

Right now, the Rockets aren't getting quality backup minutes from PG, SG, SF, and PF. I have higher hopes on Reed than DFS and Okogie for the rest of the season despite all the whining that PG depth was needed and losing the starter completely.

I think they thought DFS would be playing well by now.

 

I too will break up Sydney Sweeney. OK, I lied. I will at least consider breaking up.
