    Somebody on the rockets needs to clue him into this fact: Houston = welcoming to Africans, welcoming to all people, not just Hispanics, blacks, Asians, immigrants, or white people. Our food reflects that. Dallas = welcoming...to people who look like Chandler Parsons. Their food...just a bunch of Panera breads and their farm to table hipster variants.

    We should have known when Parsons was a Rocket, that he had that taste for Denver Dallas and Phoenix all along.

    Thong Maker wouldn't replace him, but be a great improvment. I think you need to read again that special edition of the newsletter from last summer, the one with Rubio on the cover.

    I wouldn't say Ariza is playing great, but he had a good Game 2 performance.

    Clint has really stepped up against KAT. That is not easy to do. His defense always will be better than his offense. It's not easy to defend the P/R, but it's not impossible. Once you get physical with Clint and crash the offensive boards, he loses confidence. I have never seen him coming close to dominating Steven Adams. The Rockets should see what steps is Clint taking in the off season in order to get to the next level, before making a decision to offer him a big contract. Clint should work with KG in the off season.

    BimaThug alluded to Tilman paying a lot in luxury tax to keep this team together on Twitter. I think that means Clint is a max player on max years, but coming off a rookie scale contract the max is less I think.

    This would be a fascinating discussion to have with Morey. I'm sure there are ways to complicate a contract that we have no clue about.

    I don't care what he's offered this summer. The Rockets would be insane to not match. That 44-3 record(including playoffs) when he, Harden, and CP3 play together is ridiculous. If they lose Clint, their title hopes take a huge blow.

    I could see Cuban paying him just so Houston can't have him, out of spite. They might even post a picture clubbing together.

    I tell people all the time. Clint I l9ve him but he is expendable. 7 f t tall guys that roll n oop are not the hardest thing to find. 95 percent of his offense come from cp3 n harden. I repeat as much as I love him. I would be perfectly happy with Jordan. We wouldn't miss a beat. Maybe we would be better idk. Trust me Clint if u get to crazy it's other plans out there.

    jordan wouldn't be cheaper, and carries greater risk of injury, no upside, cannot finish off the glass or drive in like capela can

    Jordan is better defensively, n it's nice Capella can finish off glass but that's doesn't move me,cause a lot of times I'm like I wish he would have just dunked that. 2 points is 2 point. Jordan averages more. N he has said..rumor he would take a discount here. N Jordan rebounds better. My points they are pretty much interchangeable. Jordan already made his money. I bet for the home town he would take less then a max Capella would fetch

    last season kat dominated him twice, now kat is genuinely afraid of going at him 1 on 1.

    It's not that simple bud. Clint is much faster than most bigs at his true height 6'11 - 7'0 as of now. He reacts and jumps at timings most human beings will never realize no matter how hard they train.

    I'm comparing him to jordan bud. Ima basketball fan. True rockets diehard. But u can't tell me Jordan wouldn't give u about the same.if not better then Capella. Go down the line. What capella does better. Better touch around the rim. Like i.said..i rather my bigs be able to just throw it down.

    I hope Tilman will defer to Daryl in all matters contracts. Daryl is the wizard after all.
