    Not too familiar with Sam Amick....a known name nonetheless.

    What other franchise player in the nba do you know paints their nails. Whether it’s fair or not that is a hard sell for investors

    Sengun.Thompson.Jabari.Tari.Green.Cam huh?

    My prediction is Jabari and Green are the two gone if necessary.

    Still want to look at all 6 contract situations (familiar with several) and future potential caps.

    I still find it unbelievable that the nail polish offends so many here. What are you all scared of?

    Cam is going to be way better than Jalen Green, the NBA strength will provide that and in time also a better shooter it seems.

    That one is Numero Fantastico.

    People keep saying Cam is a shooting guard, but I still think he's more of a wing who leans toward small forward. He has the size and all the prototypical traits, down to not being a good guy to initiate the offense since his court vision is lacking. If Jalen pans out, there's no reason the starting lineup can't eventually be Amen/Jalen/Cam/Jabari/Sengun with Tari as 6th man. Or Amen/Jalen/Tari/Sengun with Cam as 6th man. Or even Amen/Cam/Tari/Jabari/Sengun with Jalen as 6th man--it is true that we don't necessarily need a traditional secondary playmaker at SG since Sengun can handle that role just fine.

    We have plenty of options, it's just going to depend how guys develop.

    I don't see Jabari being shipped. 6'10/6'11 defensive players that are becoming Knock down 3pt shooters are not expendable. JG is likely gone to make room for Cam to start sooner than later.
    Then it'll come down to if Amen can learn how to shoot the ball. If not, then he might he expendable later. They will def give him a couple years to get it right.
    Either way.. the future is bright in Houston...

    I agree with your statement Cam will develop into a 2/3 swing player long term.

    Dwayne Wade and he’s more than just a franchise player. He’s going to have the first statue in Miami Heat history in front of their arena.

    Try again.

    Why do you care? As long as he's scoring efficiently and trying on defense he can die his hair pink

    I just think that we will have 2 primary scorers on the floor, one in the front court - Alpy, and one in the backcourt - Cam/Jalen - and the others need to be 3 and D players.....Bari is one.....Amen maybe the other, and maybe Tari in the other spot.

    So maybe Cam is the 6th man - but he looks like he will force his way into the starting lineup soon, his BBall IQ is off the charts good.....and he is a good shooter, rebounder, and defender....which for me means Jalen slides to the 6th man role - which I don't believe he will want to do, so it looks through DD's crystal ball that he will be the one traded - but I ain't Stone and have ZERO inside sources......so it is just pure conjecture...nothing more.

    I believe Jalen is the odd man out.
