People are focusing on Reed and Amen, but really it's Point Aaron who will step up when it counts

    Bring the ball down the floor by passes only. The floor is lava.

    Holiday has the greatest opportunity of his entire career coming up over the next few months. He'll never have a better chance to prove his value. Make or break for him right now.

    For young players that happens. I agree Reed should be given every opportunity to find his footing. With his shot, it could take this offense to a new level.

    We will know if the “Price is Right” for this 3rd pick.

    will Reed be

    Brent Price or Mark Price ?

    The same could be said about Tate. Tate is a fine backup. If the Rockets had a better starting lineup, he would be fine as a 7th or 8th man. The same can not be said for a typical third-string, emergency point guard or Uncle Jeff as a team's performance typically drops off when they enter the game.

    Granted, Holiday needs someone else to be on ball. For someone who wants Amen on ball more, one would assume you would be fine with a guard that shoots like Holiday, and is completely fine with others creating. You seemed perfectly fine with Green playing with Amen, so we know the reason you don't like Holiday isn't a defense issue.

    Softer TJ McConnell with potentially more explosive offensive game.

    Holiday is a decent player, but if he's playing big minutes it means the team is in trouble. It's like arguing Boban should start or play 35mpg. People love Boban, but everyone would balk at the idea.

    We can trade Holiday Oct. 8th.

    Jamal Shead should be playing back in Houston Oct. 8th against the Jazz preseason.

    Reed - Shead
    Amen - Okogie
    Durant - DFS
    Bari - Tari
    Sengun - SteveO - Cap

    TJ has a hot sister and Reed has a hot mom. I see the similarities.

    Holiday is not a point guard. He’s an undersized shooting guard that is made to play some point because of his size. His decision making is poor and he’s foul and turnover prone. He was an nba journeyman for a reason.
