  1. If we’re talking like just basketball like what was mentioned in the video KPJ was our best shooter on the team especially coming off the bench.

    Since he gone we don’t really have any shooters.

    The Rockets have like three options.

    1. Trade KPJ just so they could get a veteran back that can play and that can shoot. Easier said then done because I don’t think a team going to trade for KPJ even if a team is getting multiple picks from him back.

    2.) The Rockets are probably going to have to have to let Cam and Amen play heavy minutes off the bench and hope that Cam especially becomes that knock down shooter for us.The Rockets probably don’t want to to do that since they are trying to win they want to bring Amen and Cam in more slowly compared to years past.

    3). They are going to have to have to have either Fred Jalen or Sengun play with the second unit and be guys that run the offense.

    Despite that man once this KPJ mess is over and done with I’m excited that we can get back to playing competitive basketball with Ime in charge

  2. My biggest concern is we really dont have a guy who can just go and get a bucket once Fred and Jalen sits. KPJ would've been that guy. Cam can one day, but its too soon.
