Kirk Goldsberry

I think he is a great passer for his position.

I think that's one of the options they have to sort of fill those Van Fleet touches to try to run the offense through him.

But yeah, there's a clear core there of offensive weapons with Ahmed Thompson now, Kevin Durant.

And then Shangoon.

And I think there is going to be enough offense.

I was just looking at my notes.

They were 12th in offense in the league last year, but they lose both of their quarterbacks, essentially, with Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet going away.

Dylan Brooks, who's a vibe, if nothing else, also has to be mentioned as a big departure.

Right.

So there's a big sort of uncertainty.

I don't know what they're going to be looking like to watch.

I think they'll be better than last year if you're just looking for beautiful offense, simply because they have Kevin Durant, who is incredible talent to watch.

They didn't have somebody like that last year.

I'm pretty bullish on them, Bill Simmons, if the big question about the 37-year-old dude staying healthy is a yes.

And I think that's the biggest question there.

other than the Reed Shepard one.

I think those are the two big questions I would put in Houston.

Is KD still going to be KD and healthy?

And is Reed Shepard going to be up to a promotion?

And what did you say about Reed Shepard the other day?
