    Tucker needs all kinds of help making through the long season. He was a good fit on the court for us last year. He may want more then we can give or he isn’t a fit off the court, or may just wants to be with his family. He/team could know that signing him later in the season could give us the infusion we need to set us up in playoff seeing. AKA, IDK but miss his play.

    I do wonder what behind the scenes made the Rockets not want to pursue him. He was a high energy guy that could grab boards and actually showed range from 3 last year. His defense was atrocious outside of some weak side blocks he got last year, but he was an instant energy guy that could get you 10 boards for 20 minutes of work. That's gotta be at least a vet contract somewhere in the NBA, yet he is a journeyman that can't seem to stay on the team for more than a season or two. I wonder if it's attitude issues or something. He seems like a good enough dude in front of camera and doesn't appear to say anything divisive on social media or to reporters. I wonder what the deal is.

    MDA is incapable of integrating new players into rotation

    Verified height measurements forced early retirement. Along with his defense

    MDA doesn’t like him for some reason, worst grudge I’ve seen because he could literally help us

    Yall constantly fall in love with people who wind up playing overseas 30 minutes later. And yall talk trash AGAINST MDA like it's HIS fault? He's the one making these bozos look good.

    Because he’s a 6’7 center who even though he gives all he’s got, is a horrible defender who also can’t shoot. You can get by with not shooting nowadays but there is no chance you can get by without shooting or playing defense

    Yep.

    Too bad because if Clint goes down again, Ryno cannot give the minutes, energy or production that Faried provided.

    Tyson is not a full time player anymore and Ryno is strictly a 3 point specialist.
