    They're 1-4. if you go 0-82 you have a ~50% chance of holding on to them.

    If the Rockets are the worst team in the league by year 4 or 6 of their rebuild, something is very wrong with their rebuild.

    I say we let Donkey be amusing on someone else's team. It was hard enough learning to sort-of like Westbrook and Austin Rivers.

    All very obvious. I'm trying to have fun! I've been assuming that you can't be serious about giving Draymond a near max deal for multiple years, Sam. That's what it would take, although he'd turn down the offer, in my opinion.

    Not really. I don't put too much credence in any PER based evaluation of Green wins added because by PER he's a below average player, but in reality he's a HOF level player, DPOY, linchpin of defense etc.

    Frankly the idea of him executing a high post passing attack that Sengun hasn't adapted to seems to kill many birds with one Stone. Gets the ball out of KPJs hands, solves defense & egos fun problems

    Honestly I was pretty lukewarm about the Draymond trade but im really starting to convince myself after a lot of contemplation

    Want to acknowledge some of the comments, like: he's annoying; he's old; he doesn't want to play here; ... he breathes through his mouth.

    But... if he did want to get out of Golden State, he could do worse. And far from sandbagging or just playing for money, I think wherever Draymond plays, he's going to be on a mission to prove that he was central to their success.

    I'm thinking the OP's suggestion has merit. Surprise our enemies!

    It's really the fire extinguisher that takes this to the next level.
    Like... what happened in the first several takes that led to that placement?
