    I never thought somebody's body language could be worse than Harden's, but Lawson has him beat. I mean normally players who get in the game are hype and bouncing up & down, they come in with a certain energy. But Lawson just looks lazy. Last nite I saw him walking slow as hell to the bench after a timeout. As if this were just practice or something smh. Absolutely no urgency

    If I were Lawson I would want out of here as well, he's a much better player IMO than what he's shown and he just doesn't fit on this team.

    It's sad. It's like aliens stole his talent! Dude has no confidence whatsoever right now.

    Here is video from 12/2 of Ty Lawon saying they're "pretty honest here" and they came to him to tell him there is no truth to the trade rumors (starts at the 1:25 mark).

    Obviously another 2+ weeks of zero impact from Lawson adds to this, but kind of interesting to go back and see the comments in light of the Woj report.

    LOL, how do you coach him to play or shoot better? Shoot straighterer! Stop sucking!

    Lawson is a grown man, he doesn't need some Blind-Side type figure now to wave a magic wand and teach him how to ball.

    Think the trade is to help TY more than us since the Rox are getting no production. Hopefully he can get to a team that can actually use his effectiveness.

    Looks like Dan Fegan wants all of his clients out of here.

    Don't forget Ty Lawson is represented by Dan Fegan. We honestly need to stop working his Relativity.

    No, Morey should go out and get a starting SG who can defend. Let Harden be the full-time PG because no starting caliber PG can play up to his potential next to Harden. Bev then can go back to bench where he belongs to and back up Harden.

    I kind of feel bad for Lawson, his life is a wreck and there was intense pressure on him in Houston to not suck at basketball and he couldn't manage to pull it off. Hopefully he figures things out eventually, it just probably won't be here.

    Sam, he just doesn't fit under this system. He is no spot-up shooter and we rarely do anything under the basket..He'll find a way to be a top7 PG again, but not under our system

    Did he say, "That's what they told me in camp." I can't make out that last word.

    Also, it is our 2017 second-rounder, right? Woj says we sent that to Denver?

    Its not like Rockets are eager to trade him, or maybe they are reducing his minutes so they can push Lawson to request a trade

    I can't believe how gun shy he has become. He doesn't look like Ty Lawson at all
