    I’m aware…the idiot I’m talking to thinks he’s a draft guru when he was on here saying Cade is just Shaun Livingston and Jalen Suggs is the best player in the draft

    Well, despite his name, Jalen becomes one of the better players, there is enough time to turn it around.

    The only idiot I see here thinks that Cade Cunningham is definitively the best player in this draft after a single half season sample size, lol If Cade has anywhere close to the career/resume Shaun had, I'd be shocked. Imagine if he actually hadn't been out 2 seasons because his knee exploded... The best player on a 11-36 team and you've got his nuts so deep in your mouth all I can hear is you mumbling at this point. "What can't this kid do!?" Lmao, weirdo...

    Honestly never liked the prospects of zion. For whatever reason this overweight injury prone version of himself always struck me as the most likely scenario.

    Sad tho. Hopefully he can turn it around, get back into shape and be a productive player in the future.

    Is Zion the 2nd coming of Oliver Miller?

    My own personal Mandela Effect, but I swore he played a season for us.

    No he never played for the Rockets. Actually the dude played a decent amount of games in his NBA career.

    Man I hope Zion can slim down and salvage his career and, more importantly, health. Such an athletic freak, yet he seemed like a nice guy.

    What are the chances they sign Deandre Ayton for the max, and give Miles Bridges a nice contract?
    After trading C.Wood @ the draft.?

    Porter
    Green
    Bridges
    Segun - Banchero?
    Ayton

    I want Big O from Atlanta. They already have Capela at max. Doubt they pay back-up center max money

    I'm not sure why, but I always think the same thing.

    Our version was Thomas Hamilton. Maybe because they played at the same time, those matchups were like watching a kaiju film and essentially an event match-up, so I still associate Oliver Miller with Rockets games since watching Thomas Hamilton play against a regular opposing center was pretty uneventful.

    You guys are thinking of Pig Miller, who played a couple of seasons with us. @peleincubus nailed it a couple of posts up.
    Who could forget Pig?

    Zion would fit right in Houston. Thick Woman would love him.

    These kinds of stats always make me laugh. Porter had a game like this. Tyreke Evans had a bunch. Monta Ellis. Corey Brewer. etc.
