I actually not a fan of dame either but I don't really like Lawson too much
Dame doesn't run his team's offense and never has. It was always LMA - and Portland's pace really, really masked a lot of Lillard's deficiencies. Dude is in for a rude awakening unless he makes HUGE strides this year. I've always felt that Lillard was just Kemba on a much better team.

Lillard's a much better player than Kemba.

I really don't think so. The gap is really, really close. Damian's a better shooter by a little, but considering that he operates on a much, much more spaced out floor and he's not relied upon for scoring or offense in general in the ways that Kemba has (Kemba was like top 3 in touches last year and he was on pace for #1 in touches this year before he got hurt, that's fukking INSANE). I don't think Lillard can maintain the production he had last year with Wes and Batum off the wings, Lopez clearing out, and what would be a legit MVP candidate if LBJ and KD didnt exist in LMA gone now.

Stats don't exist in a vacuum :ld: if you take a number of variables into account, the gap between them isn't really all that wild at all.

At the same time, if you were to take all the fukkboy arguments that Rondo fans WISHED made sense and applied them to Lawson where those arguments actually DO make sense, then its not hard to imagine Houston having the best offense in the league next year. If Ty stays sober, that is.

I wouldn't be that concerned with Ty's drinking. People hear dui and they assume the guy was completely shyt faced. Now if he was swerving around the road and/or causing accidents, :whoa:
Man shut the fukk up and quit trying to put lipstick on driving drunk. Anytime you drive after you been drinking you put lives at risk. Period

Basketball is his life. I think he can hold the alcohol problems back as long he has a good role and is on a winning team thats competing, the drinking will subdue. Plus I'm sure that the rockets will make sure to get him to AA and drinking classes and the whole 9
I like this for Houston

I mean worst comes to worst he is a completely washed wino and they waive him by December. So what, they still traded absolutely nothing for him

Kemba has shot over 40% once in four seasons. I don't want to hear anything about him being better than Lillard or that he's only a little worse shooter than Dame. I think Lillard is gonna have his best season by far in 2015-16 since the offense will finally be going through him. He looked tentative last season.

To me, Kemba is a 6th man on a good team.
