    It’s clear as day that when JJ comes in the offense is a lot slower and shots aren’t as easy. Look at the Portland game. I’m glad mda had the balls to put him in and immediately you see the pace and energy pick up because of the way green moves.

    Getting back to nene, if he can’t jump and the defense already knows he doesn’t really have plays run for him then that will create the opportunity to stick to the shooters more. Like someone said, if Clint is gone forget even maybe getting to the wcf with no Wright or Cap, a good center is that important.

    Exactly. The closest thing we have right now is Gerald Green, who's only, like, 30-40% crazy.

    More specifically he botched his buyout deals. Now instead of signing a center for insurance that can contribute for the playoffs, he signs some out of the league player that has zero chance of cracking the rotation or helping out in any way.

    other things Ash has called:
    • Rockets are going to regret not picking up Micheal Beasley
    • Micheal Beasley is better than PJ Tucker
    • Trevor Ariza should be released.
    • OKC is better than the Rockets

    He's going to be used as a small ball 5, rolling hard to rim and switching on D.

    Just regular season insurance so Clint and Nene not worn out. Plus provide perimeter D while Luc is healing.

    Think of Nash in Trez role.
