    NOPE. Btw...Danny Grenn has multiple NBA Title rings though.

    What's wrong with Green?

    He sucked in the season before that too IMO. That had a lot to do with him getting fired as well.

    We traded two guys for Westbrook..Kuz and Kcp...Vogel didn't want Trez anyway. We chose not to resign Dennis in the 1st place, and then chose Tucker over Caruso. That wasn't Westbrook's fault.

    It's revisionist history

    Adam Morrison has a ring, so? Green was Vogel’s security blanket and it had month holes.

    No...lol...you are referring to Avery Bradley Cookie.

    We traded Danny Green and a 1st rd pick for Dennis, after the bubble.

    You are right about Avery Bradley but I wasn’t a fan of Green either. He’s a former Spurs system player where Pop makes everyone look good.

    Green couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn as a Laker but played decent defense.
    I didn’t shed a tear when he was traded.

    I was a bit irked that we traded a 1st rd pick for Dennis, in that trade, and then let him walk, for nothing a year later though.

    danny green was a solid role player for rings in SA and toronto. he helped set a tone here, but we won a ring more despite him than because of him.

    anyway, this is the ham thread, and i haven't seen much from ham that makes me think vogel wouldn't be in the same spot--other than lebron and AD needed someone to pin their management failings on, and jeanie wasn't buying rob as the fall guy.

    all the Xs and Os stuff and we still have very little ball and player movement on offense (like with vogel), only now, our defense sucks, too!

    So with no Lebron tonight what does the starting lineup look like? Put Reaves back in? Or are we going all big with Rui in there alongside Prince and Cam?

    The Rockets are a good example of what a good coach can bring to a team. I'm in no way insinuating Ham is not a good coach...lol.

    Never again with Hayes and Wood together.
    It’s almost as if Ham is just introduced with a new group of players before each game.
    The “experimenting during the regular season” stuff is inexcusable.
    This is what training camp and the preseason are for.

    Especially against a team that outside of Ayton doesn't really have bigs but has a lot of wings with average to above average size. Their only other big is Reath and he's a 6-9 stretch 5.

    Would have rather seen Rui or Prince eat those few minutes or if he wants to go smaller, throw them at Max. Either way, it would've gone significantly better than the twin tower lineup he started the 4th with.

    I see that Darvin, hasn't totally lost the locker room (allegedly) just yet.

    Actually, Ham is looking pretty good. Great move with Cam and we are well on the way to another championship. You shouldn't be so hard on him Slick. Knock it off.

    i've had trouble figuring this out, too. we had a mostly healthy roster in the preseason, and ham did a bunch of weird stuff and played the camp guys a bunch. the season starts, we have some injuries, and he's playing wild combinations and then doing quasi playoff rotations with guys like prince and gabe playing 35 minutes. maybe i'll look back and see a method to the madness, but i can't see it right now.

    like, what's rui's role? hell, what's reaves's role this year? wood's?
