Rockets declined Chandler Parsons 4th-year option

MKG is not our defensive catalyst. That point is so overstated around here. We are definitely better with him on the floor, but he doesn't make such a difference that he can't be started over.

Without MKG on the floor, 103PPP near bottom in the NBA. With MKG on the floor that number went down to 98, which is a top 5 defense.

Before injury, his defense was even better, with him on the floor 93 PPP.

So yes, his defense was good enough he wouldn't be started over unless the other player was a high level defensive player as well. Because with out him, that was seriously one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA and with him it was a top line unit.

I think regardless of who we land in FA, MKG will start. Many people look at positions too much when trying to figure out lineups. MKG can guard 1-3's and he would start along side of Parsons, Hayward or Melo(pipe dream) and he would cover the other teams most talented SG or SF.

That point really is overrated. There are a lot more factors that go into why we gave up that many points in that stretch. MKG only averaged 24 minutes per game. If he really made our team as much better as some people think, he would've played Kemba/Al minutes.

 

(I know I need to put this aside because people will overreact to my statement. I really like MKG, I don't want to start another player over him because it would lower his confidence even more, and if he developed a decent 20 footer and drove more he would be a very good player.)

The only way he'd start alongside Parsons would be if Parsons was at the 4, which means no McRoberts or even less Zeller. No way MKG is being put at the 2.

Show the stats of the players he guarded per that 25 minutes. Also stopping other star scores for 25min of a game can win effect the whole game.

Eh if it came down to signing parsons for 12-15 million or Stephenson 8-12 million I'm taking Stephenson. Ive wanted him all along. Everybody I talk to dosent want him tho. Personal I don't think he's that crazy. Him and Kemba played together in NYC. And big al is a leader and very no nonsense kinda guy. I think he comes in and keeps his nose clean.

I think the problem in Indiana was he wanted to show off his talents and show he was a budding star, which I agree with. I think PG is a little overated and lance wanted to be noticed while not being the key guy.

In charlotte he has the chance to be the 2nd guy and maybe the number one option going forward. He's got the talent and the skills. Just needs a chance. If we don't sign him and he takes off like James harden did I will be very disappointed.

Personally Hayward is my first choice followed very closely by Stephenson. Either one massively upgrades our weakest position.

I tend to agree with this. But with Phoenix basically coming out and saying they will do anything they can to get Hayward I see getting him as a longshot. The suns are giving him the max.

I haven't seen that, but if that's the case best of luck to them. If that's true they have a log jam at the 3 though. PJ Tucker, Gerald Green, TJ Warren, and Gordon Hayward? No way they hang on to all of them, I think either Green or Tucker is out of there regardless.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
