    That's an interesting observation. That said, Alp definitely commands a double-team when he gets the ball in the low post. Of those on your list, KD has never played with a dominant low post player. So that is an interesting wrinkle. If you put KD and Alp on the same side of the court, who do you double? Then that leaves all sorts of lanes for Amen to play free range so you can't lose him on offense. Do you really want to leave FVV or Jabari wide open on the perimeter?

    Thanks for that. I'm actually a little more excited than before.

    A lot more folks going to be watching the Rockets now. I think it's great. I admit that, when Harden was traded, I took a step away because we went full rebuild mode and I was deeply frustrated. I figured...I'll step back and loosely follow the team as the kids grow up. This meant lightly following the standings and news since the start of the rebuild. It wasn't until the improvement last season when I perked back up. I did not step back lightly. I've been a Rockets fan since I was like six years old. Years of watching games. But, this is a new experiment with KD so I expect a lot more will be paying attention. It's exciting again. Doesn't mean success as we have been through this countless times before. But, we're in a good spot if we take advantage.

    KD is a madman working out during the offseason. He looks to be in amazing shape, regardless of his age. If this has been posted, my bad. I realized that the video and images I posted before of KD working out was from several years ago, but this one is 24 hours after the trade to the Rockets.
