Stones long term plan is to provide as little structural support as possible through shaky team building to make each player struggle just enough to get them to sign a sweetheart contract.. #longGame#4d
@AKInfinity_VVS Also, I would like to remind folks. Most draft picks made in the entire draft. Only about 15-25 players make it to earn a 2nd contract, so please don't place too high expectations, especially for someone in the 2nd round.
@AKInfinity_VVS Yeah, after watching some film on him. The biggest question is whether his skills are transferable to the NBA level. A lot of his play is bullying and strength-based. I don't know if he can get away with that against faster, stronger, longer athletes the NBA has. If he hits great
@BiasedHouston It has to be something off the court that happened or keeps happening that they're not happy about—something behind the scenes we won't find out about till after the trade happens.
@BradeauxNBA I really like this pick. He has what you're looking for as a lead guard, just a bit shorter than ideal. High-end, he ends up like Kyle Lowry. Nice piece that will mostly see minutes when FVV doesn't play back-to-backs.
@AKInfinity_VVS Been saying this for the past weeks: Ace is going to get pushed out eventually, and we've got to be ready to scoop him up. Need Stone to start accumulating assets, mostly load up on a bunch of seconds. Think in a year or 2, Ace or Ant will want out. This will be a cheaper option
@DedicationHoops@AKInfinity_VVS Not a Stone defender. Been saying he ain't good enough at making margin moves since his tenure, and his roster construction has been sus since the beginning. The only excuse I can see is that he didn't want to give out guaranteed contracts by trading into the bottom of the 1st.🤷♂️
@JamesPiercey11 I just don't like our team construction for the past few years. Even when they said we went to stage 2. They kept a lot of end-of-the-bench guys who were not playable. Also, it has been 3 seasons, and there are still not enough high-volume 3-point shooters that plays good defense
Lol, just took my car to get its state inspection, and the people working there didn't know how to drive a manual. They asked me to drive it in the garage for them. First time that has happened the 20+ years of owning a manual car.
@RocketsHMA What ya'll think about the situation in Utah? Since they got the 2nd pick, whoever they draft will push out Ace. Also, Ace has stated before he didn't want to go to Utah. What do you think it would take to get him to Hou. Might take Utah a year or 2 to move him though
Waking up and remembering Spurs extended Fox for 4-year 230 MILLION still has me laughing. I really do hope no other NBA team bails them out of that contract.
Also, the Knicks are a great example of everyone understanding their roles and not playing out of them, while being good to great at those roles. Something the Rockets seriously lack in their Team dynamics, among other deficiencies(3-point shooting & ball handling, to name a few)
Knicks coming into the series as underdogs AND being up 2-0 going into THE Garden. Not saying it's over, but that is going to be an insane atmosphere to steal a game there. My gut was telling me the Knicks would win this series, but a potential sweep was never on the table.
