Reed's dad had a high basketball IQ but nothing Reed's shown yet makes me think he inherited it.

Is CJ a good fit on any team is the question? Houston is trying to win.

CJ seems to think he is a leader. For example, when he became a Pelican, he thought he was going to change them for the better. He is overrated and forver overpaid.

The Rockets also don't have 17/18 shot attrmpts for CJ.


I gotta push back a little. CJ couldn't fix the mess that was the Pelicans, I don't thin anyone could. So I don't really think it's fair to fault him for that.

Largely agree with your main point tho as far as him not being a good fit. He's not and never will be a PG, he's a SG. He would be more akin to the Suns Beal experiment which isn't what the Rockets need or want.

Disagree.

No more tiny sg.


I think "build around" got lost in the shuffle there. I would want 1-2 FRPs included. Get to shave a year off of Holiday's deal and Reed is worth kicking the tires on.

How is it not fair to fault him when he came in CJ blazing and acting like he waa going to be the vocal leader he's not? He started in on Zion and made his rounds until everybody gave him the John Cena wave.

Good option if he can be a consistent low volume 3 point shooter when necessary.

David Griffin specifically asked CJ to be that for the team according to what we heard…. Whatever, you clearly have some weird grudge against him and quite frankly, I’m not that interesting in getting into another hair-splitting contest with you over something this trivial.

I already said I agree with your overall point, so believe whatever you want around the edges.

If Houston goes and gets a PG, it's a long term piece.

CJ is a Buyout candidate, not a trade asset.

Derrick white. This is going to be a waste of a season for the Celtics, so might as well trade him to the rockets.

Fultz and Elfrid Payton are both available free agents p, I think, and would be upgrades. Spacing still an issue but better than with Amen. Both can defend.

Coby White for a 1st round pick - ideally the PHX pick. He would fit in well. :D

of course not. not saying hes a top option but he should be on an nba team and they don't have alot of choices . its always so weird when older guys just can't find a team because everyone wants to roll the dice on a second rounder roster slot. his stats are still better then most backup pg in the league.

his fg% was better then his last 4 seasons....
