    He should.

    Shoots when he should pass and passes when he should shoot.
    Ends up shooting mostly mid range junk shots.

    Will never be a number 1, 2 or 3 option.

    Doesn't understand the role of 3 & D "Wing" player

    Well. Bummer!

    He should be better than he has shown, so it might be for the best...

    Considering how well the Bucks paid his dad, AJ may as well quit.

    He's been preparing to start a sentence with "Sides." It's his revenge on his parents for naming him Shams

    Worth remembering that they sold the pick to the Heat for cash considerations....
    Funnily enough, cash considerations is what the Rockets will also get out of this deal - If Griffin walks away from his deal, no doubt the two parties reach a settlement, which would be for less than the $3.9M overall he was owed.

    Bizarre trade where both teams profit financially and nobody ends up with a player!

    For the 2025-2026 season the Rockets could have let Fred walk in free agency and let Shead be the backup.

    Let's worry about who will be the starter before lamenting the chance to hopefully pick up the backup 2 years from now.

    Mentally it feels better to say goodbye than to get dumped.....

    We'll always have the Summer League.

    On a serious note, hopefully he gets himself right.
