Bro loves sci fi, game of thrones, star wars and art and classical music. Prefers Alien to Unicorn so he needs a sci fi nickname. Man, this guy is perfect to root for. He's not getting any art or music culture in SA or Charlotte so it's got to be Houston or downtown Detroit that would make him happiest. Tilman pulling out all the stops, gonna upgrade from frozen crinkle cut fries to seasoned frozen crinkle cut fries. Hot out the oven son!
This guy started posting a year after Josh was born and claims to be a JOF. He knew at 1 years old he was going to be a Rocket. Fascinating!
If you just go back and look at my post history, it's pretty clear that I'm the Nostradamus of Clutchfans.
Sorry Tilman https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...hich-nba-rebuilder-is-best-suited-for-phenom/ 1. San Antonio Spurs 2. Charlotte Hornets 3. Indiana Pacers 4. Detroit Pistons 5. Orlando Magic 6. Chicago Bulls 7. Houston Rockets: Imagine Chicago's guards, but not nearly as good, proven or willing to pass. That's what the Rockets have in Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. Meanwhile, Alperen Sengun has thrived this season when the Rockets have allowed him to run the offense. If Wembanyama comes to Houston, he's either going to be wasted or traded. That's probably worthwhile for a prospect as good as Wembanyama, but the Rockets already have so many players who need the ball and so few who can adequately defend bigs that he'd probably be best-served playing elsewhere. Sorry, Tilman.
I know the Rockets have an irrationally dumb love affair with their guards and are too cheap to clean house for the front office/staff reboot they desperately need given the crappy rebuild, and finally nobody hates watching this current shitshow more than me/us, who unfortunately see far more of it than the national writers do .... BUT.. ....To think the Rockets wouldn't retool their roster/staff/entire franchise around Wembanyama is idiotic. Same with every other team. They're not going to pick up the non guaranteed years on KPJ'S deal and trade Victor - that's just too stupid of an implication to even bother with. There's a reason why this team has virtually no salary cap commitments above the minimum in any future season, and it's precisely because they are clearing the decks (probably overly clearing them, given the current shitshow)
I think the article means they would either waste or trade Sengun (not Victor). It's phrased in a weird way.
Is it just me or isn't Victor much more like a much taller Kevin Durant, rather than someone who would take Alpi's center spot? Why do people keep saying that it would impact Alpi in any way if we drafted Wemby? To me, their games would actually be perfectly complementary. We should sign Harden as FA and trade for Gobert and then really roll out (copyright @hakeem94 lol): PG: Sengun - 6'10 SG: Harden - 6'6 SF: Wemby - 7'5 PF: Bari - 6'11 C: Gobert - 7'1 Can't teach height. lol
Spoiler "That’s Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta owning up to the fact that they’re praying to win the Wembanyama sweepstakes. Yes, that’s a pretty sweet prize at the top, and this year we have four bad teams (Charlotte, Detroit, San Antonio and Houston) instead of three. That’s important because only three of them will get the best lottery odds. Again, it all gets back to Game Theory and the change in lottery odds at the bottom of the standings: If four teams intend to tank, we have a disaster. If only three teams intend to tank, then we have a non-event. Houston, as shown above, has some pretty clear motive as well as the league’s worst record coming out of the break, while the Spurs have shown their resolve with a 14-game losing streak and a deadline trade of their best player (Jakob Poeltl). The Pistons, meanwhile, still can go to the nuclear option of shutting down Bojan Bogdanović and Alec Burks. This leaves Charlotte as the real fulcrum of any tanking race this season. Already sitting at 17 wins, the Hornets probably can’t afford to win more than four times the rest of the season to, um, “keep pace” with their rivals. If they’re not willing to prostrate themselves before the lottery gods to earn an extra 1.5 percent probability, then any brazen tanking in the bottom four positions in the standings is likely to be minor. On the other hand, if the Hornets go chips-in on this and shut down LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier, look out below. A four-team tanking race could get ugly fast."
Only thing that worries me are those super skinny legs and calves, not Chet skinny, but still super skinny. But, is it really that big of a deal? Ralph Sampson- a comp for Victor was pretty outstanding proportionally for a 7'4 guy and actually pretty lean and fit, and his legs were proportional to his body. If this guy is in todays Draft, you're thinking the finished product might look like Giannis or even David Robinson. Despite the proportions. Injuries derailed his career before it ever really got to take off. Bad knees-correct me if i'm wrong. Lew/Kareem a comp, but like Ralph was pretty lean and proportional in his early days with broad shoulders, we remember 80s kareem who looked skinny upper body without much definition left, but he always had really strong looking thighs and calves. One of the NBA's most durable players ever. The 2 outliers: Wilt: While much stronger and broader upper body than Kareem, Wilt had pretty puny legs most of his career including when he was supposedly playing around 320 with the Lakers. It didn't hurt his bounce or his volleyball or water polo game. By 32 he had knee surgeries and i believe he started having back problems. An issue with his proportions possibly? T-Mac had the same issue of big bulked up upper body and tooth pick legs after he started to lift and ended up with back issues and then knee. And of course there's KD: Very skinny proportionally top to bottom. Has had a few major injuries that for the most part didn't linger. 15 seasons and barely about to hit =games Jordan played so even though it looks like he's missed a lot of games spread out, Jordans 2nd year broken foot and 2yr retirement =to how long KD's been around. I'd consider that a win for his body type. No need for KD photos. Of all these players, Wemby at 7'5 is closest resembling of KD's legs with those long feet and toothpick calves to thighs. So there's no way to predict injuries. You got various body types, yet some last really long, some have nice 10-12 year careers before injuries slow them down, and some do not last very long at all.
Sengun is gonna turn Wemby into Bruno Fernando as payback to Silas Victor..I am SO HAPPY...for you to catch my lobs
