I’ve watched most of the Vipers games. I’m disappointed in Nanu’s development. He will NEVER make the Rockets rotation like McCaw has made Golden State’s. Nanu is NOT an nba player. There are several 19 & 20 year olds that are rookies that have done far more in the nba and G-League. The fact that Nanu couldnt wiff the nba last year when Capela broke his leg or this year when Nene and Capela were injured proves my point.
Objectively, if he can still play good to great defense, I would want him on the Rockets. The goal is to win and beat Golden State, and really by any means necessary. I don't think anyone's going to care about who Bogut is if he makes a huge play in a game or two for the Rockets in the playoffs against Golden State. That's really what matters. If you want to win a trophy and do it with a major obstacle in your way, you have to do it by any means necessary (within the rules).
McCaw essentially runs the backup point for arguably the best team in nba history. Worst case he’s the secondary ball handler on the second unit. He’s solid defensively. High B.B. IQ. There’s a reason Kerr trusts him and Nanu can’t even play more than Zhou Qi has in one year than Nanu has in two. Gtfo
The fact that a 20 year old couldn't break the rotation on the second best team in the NBA proves that he is "NOT an NBA player"? Pass the weed Bro!!!
He is blessed to never ever have to do anything, because Draymond Green runs the backup PG for GSW when Steph sits. Facts... He is extremely good at jogging to the corner and doing absolutely nothing for 16 minutes, which is all the GOAT team needs him to do. Hell, Nick Young's dumb ass looks good in GSW, Casspi too. (And those guys pretty much suck balls)
When Nanu is waived or included for salary purposes in next weeks trade remember where you heard it first. After 2 years he’s averaging 10pts and 9.5rbs in the G-League. He’s trash. http://stats.gleague.nba.com/
McCaw is absolute garbage this year. Not even sure how that is debatable. His defense is terrible and he can't drive to the rim at all, nor can he shoot. And he doesn't run backup point lol. David West is more of a point than him. Livingston actually is the point.
He would be great. Every team need a brutal douche... I thought PJ Tucker is one but naah. We need more of the screens like one from Nene last night. Some pushing on the box out. Dirty screens.... We lack that shi* with Capela and Anderson
Absolutely imperative that we get him now with no trades made to address our interior defense and rebounding. Without Capella on the floor, our interior defense is practically non existent and we struggle to grab defensive rebound. Bogut would address those areas. He also sets excellent illegals screens and gets away with them. Will really help CP and Harden with picks. Bonus is that he is a dirty player that gets into opponents heads. You need these types of players on your team in the playoffs.
I heard he made a verbal agreement with the Pelicans, but you know what verbal deals worth these days.
Looks like Brook isn't getting bought out. Bogut looks like the best option.... Basically the only option unless Speights or Chandler gets bought out. He's long, strong, rebounds, good defender, can pass, tough, high IQ, championdhip experience and will likely be completely fine with the role of sharing the backup position with Nene. Sign me up.
