    Chriss is going to straight murdaaaa on pick&rolls. Highlight dunks for days. He’ll flourish with the guards we have.

    Is Brandon Knight even gonna play? He is just another bad contract.

    True... also didn’t realize marq chriss was 6”10 and only 21!

    Dude has potential on both ends!

    Guy is hitting clutch threes for gods sake and game saving blocks. Morey really pulled a rabbit out of a hat on this one if it pans out with this guy.

    Chriss came out the same draft as Zhou Qi and is younger. Yet Everyone is excited for Qi. Chriss still has PLENTY of time to develop!

    Jared Dudley has been trying to get to Houston for years. He is finally out of Phoenix, but when will he finally get here? LMAO!

    Chriss will play the back up power forward position, but will also be switch to play some back up center when needed. But he is a pure power forward.

    New environment can help. Plus I mean they aren’t making the playoffs so why not.

    But I’m sure he will contribute. He’s really good on losing teams. Lol damn the shade.

    Carl, he's the (expensive, younger) Jameer Nelson we wish we could have latched onto last year at the trade deadline. This pushes MCW to 3rd string.

    I'm of the belief that highlight clips don't tell you much about a player, but Marquese Chriss got a number of scuffles with opposing team players. Dude is athletic and looks to be really promising off the pick and roll with option to pop. Also of note, he and Tucker played together.

    He's not really rooting against the player, so much as he's rooting for us to have "won" this trade 3-4 years down the line. If Melton goes on to become a semi-star, then we'll regret it.

    I can see both sides for sure, but I like this trade. All this depth helps us when we have a guard go down with one of those two week injuries. Instead of going 6-4 over that stretch, it's keeps us on track at 8-2 or 9-1.
