Best of all, he gets to be written in news articles as a hero for advising and mentoring, instead of playing.

Wow!! According to this article, he will just sit on his arse on the bench cheerleading until February when he can get bought out. Not a bad gig making 44.3 mil to sit until Feb.

Seems like Wall for Simmons would not be a bad trade for both teams. Not sure if the numbers would work. But of Miami can pick him up for almost nothing. The would be the favorites in the east.

I tried to sit in the office for much of the day one time doing just sitting. I almost got fired and no $44M came my way.

Needs 61 more of 75 games left.

Great game though for the franchise. He's got 2 terrific games, 2 average games and 3 terrible games so far.

^^^^Meh. He's a rookie. He is going to be up and down all season. His talent will carry him through. Good player. I like the tanking season, though. Hopefully, when the Knicks come to Houston, they continue to lay down.

When would that be? We are trying to ration it to 1 W for each set of 6 games and we will be hunting a W in the next 2 games.

Tank season: The road to Duren. 67 Losses

9 Losses Done

Nov. 20 in New York. With that said, I see a W for the Rockets against the Pistons tomorrow. (Nov. 10)
