    We might need to bring back Pablo Prigioni for so Cliff can sit behind him for a year or two until he gets a little more experience and learn the position....come off the bench in a 6th man role in the mean time

    you got another connect to the Colangelos b??

    Nah, but, I do have knowledge that cp3 was strongly considering going where PG was gonna go. They been talking. So now that CP3 went to the Rockets, im sure PG will end up there too.

    They both also wanted Boston, with Hayward, so maybe Hayward told them he wasnt going to Boston.

    It's funny so many people are down on Frank Ntilikina. A lot of folks said the same stuff about Kristaps when he was drafted and the kid has so far turned out to be really good. Frank is a big point guard with long arms and good athletic ability that has started in a decent league overseas. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out better than all the people that the fans were clamoring the Knicks to pick instead of him.

    If the Knicks could get Masai Ujiri that would be big. Tim Connelly from Denver is a guy who most haven't heard of that would an underrated steal if they could speak with him

    I'm banning myself if he's better than Dennis Smith. This ain't like that for me at all though, I was the only ? here (I'm sure there was probably at least 1 or 2 others) that was LIT when Porzingas got drafted.

    I watched that workout video and was blown away by.

    I watched Frank's workout video and was enraged lol

    this is a backwards move for the rockets. Like I said before, harden is better with the ball in his hands. I smell disaster.

    I don't understand cp3 to the rockets though.

    Question; is Cp3 doing a siign and trade or is he gonna just opt in to the final year of his deal? If it's the latter....

    Melo,Cp3,LeBron in NY?!? Idk b lmao, it's possible.

    Nah rockets will have his bird rights so they can give him 205 mil next summer

    Rockets issue was defense so they traded their best back court defender for chris paul who been declining on defense for the last 2 years.Paul should of went to the spurs

    What intrigues me the most about this move is how we implement Chris Paul's mid range game into our offense....you dont trade for a player with one of the best mid range games in the league without any plans to utilize it

    I think this really going to help diversify our offense and keep it from being so predictable and make it much more efficient expecially in late game situations

    Going to be interesting to see how it works out

    Dennis Smith got drafted by a solid team with a great coach. Hopefully he doesn't fall into Rick Carlisle's dog house quickly. I see Ntilikina at the very least being a solid starter barring injuries while a guy like Dennis Smith could very well wash out quickly due to a numerous amount of things people are over looking about him.

    1. Can and will he use his athletic ability to guard adequately
    2. His wingspan is the same as his height which isn't gonna help him defensively
    3. He can't guard multiple positions
    4. He is just a solid shooter at best right now.
    5. with his lack of wingspan his finishing at the rim might not be as good as it was in the NCAA


    I honestly think Smith fell to a good spot because of the coaching aspect but Rick has been known to have a short leash with rookies. I'm not saying Ntilikina is a better player but I feel at the very least barring injuries he will have a long career in the league due to him being able to guard and play multiple positions right out of the gate. Both are young and will hopefully get better but I'm always leery of the super athletic, small wingspan, scoring guard types. Everybody in the NBA is either super athletes or have crazy wingspans so surviving off of just being athletic doesn't usual cut it. Unless you have a crazy mix of athletic ability and size
