Guys How about Collin sexton as a back up PG
Nice to get some OG references – I DO remember Mike Harris. As good as Jalen has been you don't dare give him a max deal at this point. Given Amen's emergence I do believe they will move Dillon but not this summer. Unless the upcoming pick is top 4 I think they will move it (and some lesser players) for another veteran. I'm with Ben on keeping Tari on the bench unless he makes a big leap. Tyus Jones is a good choice – roster consolidation needs to be on the table. Do you guys realize we have a 30% chance of a top 4 pick? That could be really valuable if a team falls in love with one of the top guys. I will not complain if they stand pat because I think the young guys could use some stability.
Jabari has an almost automatic mid range. If he comes off bench hr could focus in that. His 3 is to inconsistent
As I previously stated before and what was proven against the Mavericks, They wont pay Sengun a Max, just so he becomes unplayable in the playoffs against elite guards and wings of the west. I said that before the rockets played the Mavs, and then Luka goes out and make my point against Landale./ No one is maxing out Centers who cant SWITCH
If you give sengun not a max. deal this xear….than should another franchise taste his luck and trade sengun…..if we discus that shit now , when all nba recognised him….only housten is think if or if not….what you talking housten….
Is Ben doing a fast radio commercial? Geeeez, 5000 words/minute…
Give jalen and alpi max otherwise they will leave 100% your not the owner jalen will not sign if not max and he leave this rockets team in my opinion
Is Jabari only gonna be “okay” as a player?? There are tools there, but it seems like he’s limited athletically and that can hurt him at times
idk why were not giving more floor time to Jae Shawn tae & the missing piece is Tari tbh.
To me, Brooks nor Fred fit anymore. They were instrumental in changing the culture but in reality Amen and Cam are ready. They are blocking true progression. With Fred and Brooks we will always be mediocre. Real talk.
I think it’s also important to note that it’s not about who you start with but who you close with. We saw in that stretch when Jalen was bad that tari closed. I think we are trying to make Jabari into a complementary piece, and quite frankly our offense needs his shooting and rebounding wayyyy too much to bench him. Of course that’s dependent on what happens in the off season and draft
Rockets main problem is they're soft .
