    Insinuated that Dekker was indeed the 'frosting'.

    It sounds Dutch. My significant other is half Dutch. Her mother immigrated to America in the 1930's. Maybe she knows.

    OK, here we are: Dutch meaning: Roofer; maker of roof thatch or blankets.

    Sam should have been a roofer. He picked the wrong profession.

    I liked Dekkar when he first came into the league. I really thought he would have a high ceiling and be a parsons without the douche and better shot. How things changed so quickly for the young fellow. Hard work is definitely 80% of the game.

    Dekker was bad but at least he bagged Kevin Harlan’s daughter so he will be set for your life.

    With Frosting, a little bit goes a long way. Unfortunately no cupcake baker never saw a cupcake they didn’t want to frost the sh$t out of so I’m on Team Morey with this one. Trade worthy take.

    Cut half the frosting off, cut the actual cupcake in half, flip the top half upside down and proceed to enjoy it like a like a madman/madwoman!

    I do agree too much frosting can throw off the entire appeal of a cupcake , but too much whipped frosting for me isn't ideal. Just tastes too airy imo.

    Ouch, nah Dekker didn't pan out unfortunately because of injuries and timing. Best wishes to him though, there's still time!

    I thought the same. One of those are hard working guys with above average athleticism that could have developed into a quality role player for the Rockets and he was getting there with a couple break out games... Like many started to notice, including myself, the league wasn't having it. Poor officiating exploiting politics made Dekker and his potential sink.
