    Rockets should trade for Larry nance jr. They need to get more athletic players like Gerald green who can shoot from 3 and drive to the basket.

    Get rid of Anderson and fat ass Tucker.

    Luc, Tucker or Anderson, Black. Lakers don’t even want nance so it shouldn’t be difficult to trade for him.

    nobody, I mean nobody, wants Anderson... if you include him, you better include a stud too like capela or Gordon, that's the price you'll have to pay for someone to take on Anderson.

    So we should trade our 2 best defensive players, or our largest contract, or the worst player on our roster?

    I mean hell, why not offer them all? Since apparently there is no difference.

    Our two best defensive players? Lol. They’re garbage.

    Rockets are better defensively because of Chris Paul. He’s 1st team all defense and is very demanding player that keeps players accountable.

    The Lakers are probably looking to trade Randle and keep the Kuzma/Nance combo since they seem like two hard workers with a brain. They're also on cheap and multiyear contracts while Randle is expiring and i really don't see them being willing to pay him. Wouldn't be shocked to see him go to Dallas for Noel by the deadline, i think there were also rumors about this weeks before Noel got injured.

    Also, no way in hell they'd take Anderson back, he would kill their cap space which is the only thing they care about right now.

    our defence is great with Luc on the floor, he is one of the main reasons we were top 5 in defence

    I was getting hyped about Deng's play in the Africa Games until he slowed down to 2 miles an hour on a fast break layup

    Just wanted to quote reply this guy for being the dumbest on clutchfans

    Pj tucker wasnt one of our teams top defenders or contributors apparently. I often wonder if these random posters remember the dumb things they say later.

    First of all, I never said they weren't good defenders or contributors. I just said they were replaceable.

    Players like ariza, tucker, mbah moute are ROLE PLAYERS. Players like them are a dime a dozen, they are expendable. Guys like Bazemore, Kidd-Gilchrist, Marvin Williams, avery Bradley to name a few, can easily replace our role players.

    It's chicken little fans like you that freak out over everything that makes clutchfans unbearable to read sometimes. Losing mbah moute, ariza, you would think we'd lost the second coming of scottie pippen.

    We must be reading something completely different. Because i just read an exchange that clearly started with you saying tucker wasnt a key cog in the defense and how it was all chris paul. In the west finals tucker was basically our mvp. No going back on it now. Time to eat crow


    Chicken little? Youve never read anything ive said. I think weve done a solid job given our situation. Im on the melo train. What poster are you thinking of?

    I’m not eating crow. Tucker is a role player, simple as that.

    I like Tucker, he plays hard but he’s not our mvp in any way, shape or form. Stop it with that nonsense.
