Exactly why the JB/Garland trade that some posters on here were throwing around makes no sense for Cleveland

That was Robert Horry who was first
Coach Rudy T of the Rockets was ahead of his time

Nets/Giants/Yankees

His performance in that knicks series. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth

You right actually. Horry was Draymond Green with a 3. Silent but deadly. Lowkey, he'd be a great coach. Don't he got more rings than Jordan too (3 with the lakers, 4 with the Spurs)?

Yupp. 2 with Rockets, 3 with Lakers, 2 with Spurs
Both the Rockets and the Bulls were playing "small ball" in the mid-late 90s. Horry obviously with Houston, but Bulls were also underrated with their lineup changes. They started conventional/defensive-oriented with Harper and Longley, but then switched to 4 shooters (Kerr and Kukoc in) with Rodman sliding over to the 5.
Different offensive system than Houston but the end result was still the same: Kukoc and Horry would eat well off the slow footed power forwards and the teams had optimal spacing.

To Shawn Marion's stance... personally, i felt the Heatles more-so changed the game with small ball, indireclty. Ultimately small-ball itself was never desirable, it was more-so about having optimal spacing to run your offense (which MIA needed for Wade & Bron to succeed). But there weren't many big men available with that skillset, so you had to roll the dice with small ball as the compromise... putting a 3&D sf at pf and hoping you didn't get killed on the glass too badly.
But of course the need for optimal spacing and the apparent skill gap with bigs, led to more and more big men adding a serviceable or better 3 point shot to their game, to where most of the elite teams can at least have 4 shooters out there without compromising size/rebounds.

Was watching that video the other day about the concept of a pivot in football with busquets, The emphasis in Barcelona being was skill and spacing instead of physicality, to make players have to exert less effort to limit the space other teams have to do stuff while simultaneously on offense creating these triangles on the pitch while scanning to see where the space is. These triangles form a web and in the middle of that web is the pivot who is the hub. The guy you get the ball to to break presses. In basketball there's the point guard but teams sometimes conceptually move away from that and have a guy who has IQ who gets the ball where it should move. Jokic, Draymond, Bron, Bam, Sabonis and my new favorite player

Baby Jokic
But he's more athletic. He even grew a couple inches legit over the summer. He has the potential to be great. I hope Ime emphasizes his development this year.
The Rockets need to be his team.
