    Kelly is a really good two-way stretch 5 that can also pass.

    He’s closer to Al Horford than Clint Capela.

    Kelly Olynk - 28 years old - can shoot 3 - can play back up center

    Iggy - 35 years old - has been playing 100+ games per season for the past 5 years - Warriors exit interview consisted of him screaming he has been playing on a fractured leg from the rooftops. I'm just not convinced Iggy has a ton left in the tank.

    so, yes -- i'd rather have Olynk.

    His defense is nowhere near Horford's zip code.

    He's a good defender and Horford is not some DPOY.

    Kelly O is much better than Capela on both ends that much I know.

    Rockets need to use reverse psychology in the off-season.

    Morey -- "We are not interested in any players."
    Free Agents -- "Here we come!"

    Tongue-Cheek but I would love it if it happened. Clint, Gordon, & Shumpert for Morant, Iggy, & Howard. That being said we will be looking for a Big man after that and an Iggy replacement in the next year or two, but Morant for the future is nice!

    I haven't seen anybody named Kelly play defense in the Association yet. Oubre stands around and ball watches, gets back-doored constantly. And Olynk...poor guy..he tries hard sometimes I guess. Neither player is in Capela's class defensively. Just like Capela is not in Draymond's or Winslow's class defensively. But both Kelly's do have a machine gun and can score the ball. Get it, Machine Gun Kelly?

    A player that had the offensive skills of Olynk and the defensive skills of Capela...that guy could possibly become all-NBA I suppose....in a down year with several injuries of other bigs....:)

    You missed the part where he compared Olynk to Horford and said Horford wasn't that good at defense. o_O
