    Draymond is not a thug. Plays hard, plays well & with an edge. We would be lucky to have him.

    On paper, Josh Smith is our Draymond Green. He just doesn't execute to his talent.

    think about the similarities.

    Both are tweeners.
    Both are great passers for their position.
    Both sound really dumb off the court.

    Here's the differences.
    Josh is more athletic and a better dunker (well he used to be at least).
    Green is the better shooter (this is what really limits Josh).

    Draymond Green is a dark complexion black man. That does not equal "thug"... Rockets need a smart, hard-working, tough player like Green... Different truer characteristics than your description. I understand your take though.

    Give the man a chance. This might be his last opportunity in the NBA.

    1. Draymond is not a thug. I just don't like him. He has a high basketball IQ.
    2. Michael Beasly is not "dumb." That word is thrown around here too quickly.
    3. The Rockets need a system ,with players that fit that system, to be successful.

    Yep Santa Wishlist. Most popular insults these days from forum.

    a THUG like Draymond
    a GIRL like Stephen C
    a QUEEN like Lebron
    a SOFTIE like Anthony Davis

    Come to think about it, we tend to use gender base insults alot..

    If the team needs a IDIOT like (insert random NBA player) ...thats probably not a good idea. Stupidity might not have any positives when it comes to basketball.

    Agreed% The youngens don't realize we win our rings with smarts. Our IQ went down to the gutter with the likes of Barkley and Francis and Lawson. Yao and Battier were the anomalies of course.
