Fast forward 3 months:

"I'm glad the Rockets didn't go sign Melo; he's an inefficient shooter who doesn't play defense. Would much rather have Terrence Jones"

Did he honestly say that T-Jones was better?
 
No. I said TJones was a developing player who we shouldn't replace. I don't see what Millsap could honestly provide this team other than a few more points than Jones.

The Rockets were just bounced in the first round, and you basically want them to keep every starter in place except Beverley, who you also think is a very good player?

Quick question: Should LeBron James be allowed to be an absolute freight train going to the basket, running into people? I don't honestly see the way he drives as any different than the way Shaq used to bowl people over.

What I want is a head coach who makes James and Chandler play defense. Terrence Jones wasn't a problem.

The solution in Houston isn't replacing Terrence Jones. Just sayin'.

Terrence Jones is a decent player but Millsap is a CLEAR upgrade.

So what? He's not big enough to guard guys like LMA either, and it still doesn't fix our main problem (perimeter defense). 
 
There's no point.

It's that time of year when the Miami Heat find a way to get every call.

What I'm saying is that Houston shouldn't be trying to find ways to hide James, Jeremy, and Chandler. They should find a HC or an assistant coach who will make them play defense. It's that simple.

For instance, the two bigs lineup looked really good in the last 4 games of this series, but it doesn't work against the many teams with stretch fours because it continually puts Dwight and Omer on islands against driving players who have no trouble getting around anybody not named Patrick Beverly.

Aldridge is 7 feet tall, quick, can post and has a great jumper. How many guys are actually like him?
