Just like KV, he's an individual good defender, but he doesn't seem at this point in his career to be the guy that's going to be running around 100% of the possessions.
He does do that to some extent in some possessions, but at this point, at 37 years old, it's expected that he won't be
And I'm afraid that not refers to maximizing the non-defense.
We need guys like that.
So I do think that there's a possibility that that is a bit great, but it is for a high effort defensive guy that's, you know, a really high end starter.
Like a Jaden McDaniels type?
Like a Dylan Brooks type.
Oh, okay, okay.
I do think that is, you know, you mentioned McDaniels from the Timberwolves.
I think the Rockets might not want to do that because they would be giving Minnesota the ammo to potentially go after a guy like Giannis if he's available.
But I do think that there's two other names that are worth considering.
One of them, I already said it, and I didn't say a guy like Dylan Brooks.
I meant Dylan Brooks at all.
It might make sense for the Rockets to give 2027 back to Phoenix, allow them to tank in exchange for Dylan Brooks.
Who knows if that's a possibility, but I do think that a lot of our problems are because Dylan Brooks is not there, both from a leadership perspective and from an energy perspective.
And the other guy that I did want to touch on that's perhaps not known as a good high-effort defender because, well, he's really good at something else, but I do think actually Murphy fits the bill as well.
As a higher-cost guy, that's not quite a star, but would be a high-cost guy that we would need those that are in his contract.

A little disconcerting in that the most efficient scorer on the floor was 19-year-old Cooper Flagg.
Now, on other nights, it might have been Kevin Durant or Alperin Shingun.
They weren't at their best tonight, and there are reasons for that, and we can get into it.
