  1. Sounds great for Houston, except they signed Brooks for defense culture. If Herro + Robinson + picks from MIA wasn’t enough for Portland, if we took Herro out of a multi-team deal what would be inserted for more value than Herro? You think Portland wants KPJ and Tate more than they’d want Herro?
  2. Or $130 for only 3 years here! [price is right fail music]
  3. This feels like another classic case of a Houston team bidding against themselves. FVV is top 3 of a bad FA class. He has been making $21M a year. Who out there was offering him close to $40M per year? Plus all the income tax savings that most professional athletes seem to ignore when picking or snubbing Texas teams. At least it’s only two years. Hopefully none of the young guys get pissy and start locker room drama when FVV is pulling down over $40 and the 6 first round guys from the past 3 drafts make like $38M combined.
  4. “The Clippers and Heat are expected to emerge in this process for (James) Harden, I’m told. “ I see what he did there.
  5. Don’t these guys have uncles who can place the bets for them?
  6. Sure, those white kids, not all white kids. There are also wealthy, upper class, and upper middle class minority kids who have resources and can get coached up. It’s inaccurate to say all or most fringe-acceptance white kids accessed grandfather’s trust fund to get private SAT tutoring. This Columbia concept of considering applicants’ economic status is intriguing because that is more relevant. Excludes the Carlton Bankses and gives consideration to rural, farm, and/or trailer trash kids who have the talent and want to level up.
  7. Green and Sengun’s rookie deals are over in two years, so they probably want maximum flexibility that offseason to sign FAs and extend those two, while still having Jabari Smith, Eason, Amen Thompson, and Whitmore on rookie deals.
  8. $42M/yr is steep for Van Vleet, but that might’ve been what it took (probably not because Stone is probably in the running with Caserio for stupidest negotiator as GM in Houston). That’s a huge bump for FVV when you factor in Canadian taxes vs no state income tax. He was probably the #1 free agent in ability to help this team win more games AND make other players better.
  9. Some mega pussies up in this vasectomy thread. The “no incision” or “no scalpel” thing is a marketing joke. They have to get inside your scrotum to cut the tubes. A scalpel makes a small, precise opening. Using sharp forceps to tear a hole open is technically not an incision and doesn’t use a scalpel, but it’s not less painful and could result in a larger or irregular wound/opening in the scrotum. My doc did the cold spray to numb up the boys before a lidocaine stick, then you don’t feel anything except the thump like pressure when he actually severs and clips the tubes. I drove myself home (~20 mins). Rotated between 3 bags of frozen peas and carrots every 30-60 mins to keep constant cold for 24 hours. Rotated between Tylenol and ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. Went trap shooting 48 hours after procedure with only mild discomfort.
  10. I was going to post something similar: who would you draft over Bird if you could pick anyone to play in 2023? I’d think Bird would be in most people’s top 5, certainly not relegated to Euro ball. Bird was a better shooter and passer than Bron Bron, same height, was tough as hell and didn’t turn the hustle on and off. Bird playing against modern players, defenses, and rules would be pretty silly.
  11. Isn’t the point to sign player(s) who make our first rounders play better, not guys who put up stats while playing with hall of famers?
  12. Remember when everyone got hot and bothered about Jeremy Lin?
  13. They named the vehicle Titan? I’d say it titan’d alright.
  14. Middleton is minus one meniscus. It’s likely his game will erode along with the articular cartilage of his tibia. If he comes to Houston, it will be for the bag of money, not to win. And if money is his driver, would he put in the effort to keep his body healthy and delay his knee/game decline?
  15. Incredible. It seems like Capela was playing in Houston back with McGrady.
  16. I’m dreaming in fan fiction that Portland caves to Dame’s veteran demand and there’s some 3 team swapadoo where Houston gives up #4 to another team for a veteran to Portland, we give Portland KPJ and/or KMJ and/or Tate and Houston receives #3 for either Scoot or Miller.
  17. I’m down by 99/Hardy and people’s backyard trampoline and not so lightweight furniture have been thrown over fences and even into the streets. Rumors that tower at IAH was evacuated due to suspected small tornado.
  18. Houston hopefully trades down a few spots if “basketball” demands that whatever team picks at #4 takes a Thompson. Guards who can’t shoot have a Ben Simmons ceiling.
  19. And then Amen/Auser Thompson’s jump shot will make you want to buy a lot of $10 beers!
  20. Is “Erectile dysfunction for you 🚬 🕯️ 🐅” describing a past (filmed) event or some kind of candle tiger curse she’s putting on him?
  21. Scoot and Miller are much higher rated than the next cluster, nobody gives a shit about #4 (except allegedly Orlando targeting someone and wanting to move up from #6…if they offered 6 and 11 for 4 that should be a slam dunk). The Rockets moving up from #4 to #2 would probably require throwing in Jalen or Jabari and not worth it. If Charlotte was dumb enough to swap for KJ Martin, Tate, Porter Jr. or any combination of our spares then hell yeah!
