“Let’s Talk Houston Rockets” – What’s Next for the Rockets?

Cheers. Welcome to another edition of the Houston Round Ball Review presents Let’s Talk Houston Rockets. I am of course KG Chris Gardner, owner of the Houston Round Ball Review. What’s on your mind, Rocket fans? Hope you’re doing all right. Hope your day went well in whatever part of the world you are joining the conversation tonight with fellow members of the Let’s Talk Houston Rockets family. Don’t really have any specific topics I want to discuss. Whatever’s on your mind, we can kick it around. But I am curious to those Alperin Shenon fans who on Monday’s show, the June 30th show were concerned that the Rockets were making these moves and adding centers and having surplus big men and on and on were preparing to make a trade and send Shenun to the Bucks for Giannis with the moves that the Bucks Did has that changed your mind? Has that put your mind at ease or has that give you more pause for concern what the Bucks did in waving and stretching Damen Lillard’s contract and bring in Miles Turner. Kind of ties in with the Rockets. Who knows? Let me know. Give me your comments here on the Houston Rounds Ball Review YouTube channel. And if you are so inclined, click on that dollar sign by the chat box at the bottom of the chat box and make a contribution to support the Round Ball review. But I hope you had a chance to catch me Tuesday night on Area 45 with Patrick Kraden. I was on there at 9:40 p.m. talking about your rockets. And then this morning I would made a guest appear guest appearance with Nate Griffin, one of my mentors on the morning show on Fox 26 sports talking rockets. So let me know your thoughts on it. Space Age, how are you doing? Glad you’re here. Terry, how you doing? Chiming in from New Zealand. What are your thoughts on it and what the Bucks did? Does it make it more likely that the Rockets are going to trace Shingon to the Bucks or less likely. I think it’s done now, right? Not going to happen. Are you at ease? Are you concerned? Have you read my brother Kelly Eco’s write up in The Athletic about the Rockets and the moves they’ve made balancing out youth with veterans. And some of the things Eco wrote, I mentioned on previous Let’s Talk Houston Rocket shows about waving Jack Landell, trading Cam Whitmore and or Jock Landale. So, what do you think? It’s less likely. Agreed. So, are y’all at ease now? I want those folks who were chiming in from Turkey, Shenon fans from all over the world. Oh, no. I think the Rock’s going to trade out. I’m worried now. I’m concerned. I’m I’m nervous. Space A says less likely. Yaro says, “Think is staying cuz he got Miles Turner.” Mr. Big Texico, how are you doing? What up to you? Glad you’re here. He says Landell is getting cut. His days with the Rockets are are done. We all know it’s just a matter of how he’s going to be let go. That’s all. But it’s quiet. Have y’all noticed? Did anyone see Bobby Mark’s tweet earlier today when he posted that teams can sign players? Teams begin signing players on July 6th. That’s what I vented at on on Monday’s show. A lot of people, people in national media, people in major newspapers saying so and so team signed player X. No, they did not. They agreed to terms with those players. That’s that’s a big mistake, folks. That is a big mistake. Y’all should know better. You’re in media. Some of y’all been around a long ass time. Y’ should know better. Not to comicated states. Yeah, Cam is on death row with the Rockets. Just a matter of time. Just a matter of time. Terry states he likes the current Rockets roster. Capella in for Jock minutes when Adams is out. Finny Smith two replaces Brooks and KD for JD as a number one scoring option. Well, KD is definitely the Rockets’s number one scoring option. But last year before KD, who was the Rockets number one scoring option? Was it Alpie or was it Jaylen? Who was it? I know we kind of think had an idea of who we thought it would be or should be once the season began last year, but I think it kind of evolved into Alpie and not Jaylen, especially on a consistent game in game out basis. Or how about that huge agreement SGA and OKC? Shay’s going to be one of those guys making $70 million a year. $70 million in a season for playing the game you love at a high level. Man, oh man. Man, uh, I don’t know. I doubt it. I think word kind of leaked out by now if that was the case. Space Sage asks or states, you know, I never thought bought into it. Jabar fracturing his hand at a walkthrough or shoot around. Did him and Cam get into it? I haven’t heard that. No one none of my colleagues have said that. You know, off the record in passing, nothing like that. Yo says, and I said this and I I agree. Rockets need another guard cuz Reed Shepard ain’t ready yet. Think he needs more development. Mr. Big Tex Co. welld deserved. But money is getting crazy. And it’s going to get crazier. It’s going to get crazier. The more years into the new TV agreement, it’s going to be somebody making close to probably 85 90 million in a season for playing the game they love at a high level. Hey, it’s not Shay’s fault. you know, flop. If Shay was a rocket, would you say the same thing? I mean, you know, it’s up to the refs to see through that stuff. If the refs can’t see what is going on and don’t call it, players aren’t going to change. I mean, why why should they? SGA new contract making as much as Giannis now. Big bucks. Big bucks. Big bucks. Big bucks. All right. All right. Yo, you you stated another guard for the Rockets. Do you have someone in mind that you like some ideal candidate you like the Rockets to bring in and sign as of July 6th and going forward? Kobe White. Yeah. Generational hater. How are you doing? How about let’s Okay. How about this for a conversation for the next few minutes on this edition of Let’s Talk Houston Rockets. I mean, it’s July 2nd, so you can change this next month until the season starts in October. When total prediction for next season, generational hater says 58. Let’s let that be the mark. Over under 58. Who says over? That’d be a good poll question. I don’t know if I could type it up quick enough to do it tonight, but but type it in. Give me your comments on it. Over under for the Rockets win total regular season for the 25 26 season. Over under line is 58. Who says over? Who says under? Kind of curious on that one. I probably lean under. Rockets, you know, that’s funny. That’s the number I was I was thinking. Oh, this one. That’s what I was going to say right here. 56. Rockets. As long as the Rockets playing their best ball come playoff time, that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. Mr. Big Texico going bigly over. He’s saying 64 wins, man. Bobby, good evening to you. Space A believes the Bulls would give up AO the Sunumo before giving up Kobe White. Larry says good evening to you Larry says under because the West is so tough. Bobby says 55. So he’s taking the under. Yaro states that Rocket should have picked up Bruce Brown or Duncan Robinson. Is there any shooting guard left in free agency worth picking up? Uh, probably not. Not a UFA. I mean, Quinn Grimes is still available, but he’s restricted. And Philly is probably going to match any offer he gets. So, they had 52 wins last year. Mr. Big Texas co 52. Yaro says, you got the comments coming flying in now. Yaro says 57 to 58. And we’ll do this again probably next month, September, close and close to the start of the season. Just a, you know, conversation, a topic not too comicated with addition by subtraction from inefficient to efficient. It has to be over 62 wins. Why? Why you going that far up? That’s Wow. I mean, OKC is still in the West. I mean, the West still got Minnesota. Denver got better. I’m close. This is on paper, you know. I mean, you know, like Space Aid says right here, Denver looks like they made some nice moves. Yeah. So, I mean, OKC, what? The Rockets had 52 wins. OKC had what, 60 what? Six, something like that. 14 games better than second place. something ridiculous. Edward, how are you? 55. So that’s the that’s the under, but a better team. See, that’s more my thinking. I think the Rockets clearly have made themselves better for the playoffs, better for the postseason. I think that’s more important to than how many wins they get in the regular season. I think they should be a top four team in the west. Finish with top four record in the west and then just take their opponents as they come and knock them off in the playoffs. CA37, how are you? Space Aids, I guess you’re talking about for the Lakers, DeAndre Aiden signed, well agreeing to a contract, two-year deal with the Lakers. That’s the move they did today after Aiden cleared waiverss at 4:00 Central time. Uh, Rockets were the Hawks probably. Two teams, you know, 1 A, 1B for best offseason move so far, but Rockets added a Hall of Famer, so I’d give them the edge personally. Yaro states, “Thanks to rock depth will carry them a long way like it did Indiana.” That’s a great point. Generational haters states, “I don’t think the Nuggets got that much better. I like Cam Johnson, but the other moves were extremely mid.” Okay. I mean, we’re talking July 2nd, so we got plenty of time to see who’s right, who’s wrong. Rockets lost almost 10 to 15 games in a row last last year off of youth and not understanding how to be winners. Yeah, but it’s still going to take some time for all the new pieces to fit together. It’s going to take time for KD to like where Alp likes the ball and Alp likes learns where Katie likes the ball. Things like that. You got to work on chemistry. Christopher How, how are you doing? That’s a new name. Haven’t seen in a while. Space Age. If we get Io Dumu from the Bulls, it’s on for real for real. Love his game. Christopher House says he can see 60 plus wins this year. Space Age Hawks definitely improve big time, assuming Chris Perzingas can stay healthy. That’s a big if. NRG says under 58. Don’t really That’s what one of my next things I about to say. Don’t really care about the Dies in regular season. Practice going to be a top four team in the West. That’s that’s more important. Have home court far as possible. You guys are Rocket fans. For those who have predicted above 58, 64 wins, 62, how far do you have them going in the playoffs? Cuz I think you’d be okay with 56 and reaching the conference finals or beyond, right? you know, so rather than 64 and and not making it that far, Dame Lillard, you’re not going to play this year. He’d probably go to go to uh the Warriors. It’s very unlikely Dame’s going to play this year. Very, very unlikely. He might sign a contract this year so he can rehab, but he tore his Achilles. I mean, he’s not a young man NBA wise. Joseph doesn’t like giving up on Whitmore. You’re not alone in that, but I think it’s going to happen. I think think it’s inevitable. Space A. Yeah. Damn. I just don’t see it. Not say he’s not going to play this year. I mean, he could he could do like a Stephen Adams sign would be, you know, his his join the Rockets would be different because he signed with the Rockets as Steven was traded to the Rockets, but join the Rockets and not play this year as they be ready for next season. That’d be the scenario. Who gets more minutes? Dorian Finny Smith, Atari might be really even. Uh maybe DFS a little bit, you know, maybe 26 to 24, 28 to 26, something like that. I mean, I don’t think it’s going to be a a huge difference. Who wins a championship first out of the Cougars, Pistons, or Rockets? Well, I think Detroit took a step back because of Malik Beasley’s gambling problem. and the Cougs because they don’t play a series just to had the ring on that one. So, of the three choices, I’d say the Rockets. Mr. Big Texico has the Rockets getting to the finals. They should get to the conference finals at least. At the very least, Space Age is nervous about the Rockets giving Tari too much money. I think what you’re your next part of the statement that Tar is not dependable enough especially being only 23 is probably the Rockets contention in the negotiations whereas Tari says look at what Tar’s people are saying look at what he does look at how productive he is in the minutes that he gets so let’s extrapolate that out and let’s getting him paid. You know, like I said, I’ll take the L. I was wrong. I thought Jabar Jabari Smith met would bet on himself and he didn’t. But he got a guaranteed five-year contract extension. Don’t turn that down, man. Don’t turn that down. Fe, how are you doing? They’re going to wave Landell and Trade Cam. If they don’t find the the taker for jock, they’re probably going to wave him. Scooter, how are you doing? I don’t know if we need Capella. Is Finny Smith going to substitute Dylan Brooks? Yes. And be more reliable. I I don’t believe Dorian Finny Smith is going to foul three-point shooters in the final seconds of a game. Yaro asks me, “Would I start Jabari over Dorian Finny Smith?” Probably. Probably. But him, you’ll see how they do in practice, in training camp. KD, Jabari, Alpie come off the bench with Steven Adams. first part of backto-backs then Capella the others DFS Tari oh that’s a nice front court ball man that’s that’s nice depth up front quality depth up front Joseph says a first for Cam to the Hornets indeed I said that last night I said it on Monday phase three has begun I think many Rockets fans agree with that FA also says the fair value for Atari is four years 70 million. So that’s a little what is that 17 and a half per I think he’s probably going to want 20 million average. Why do you think this generational hater? You’d rather have played the Thunder in the playoffs last year than the Warriors, even though the Thunder are a 10 times better team. Uh, Malik Carver is not the three-point shooter that Malik Beasley is. And Duncan Robinson, Willie Gibson, to tell you, I was not happy with that talk about that on Sunday. And I mean, he should get open and then if he can knock down open shots, okay, but the other end of the court I’m worried about too with Nunan Robinson. Joseph says, “If we keep our 2027 picks, we can replace Durant and Fred.” I’m thinking, “Oh, your your your rationale is is sound space age.” I’m thinking Atari and his people are seeking 20 million per year. That’s what I’m saying. And the Rockets are probably agreeing with your train of thought. Because like Mr. Big Tex Coast states here, he’s surprised by the deal Jabari got. Five years 122. That’s what 24.5 something like that per I mean at the very least T and his folks I want a guaranteed deal. I want fully guaranteed. That’s a start. He wants that. Now, if the Rockets say no, then that’s going to be a problem right there. If I’m targeting his reps, we want to guarantee five years. And then, of course, Rockets would come back and say, “But you have a history of injuries and health issues.” Then I start haggling. DPG, how are you doing? Thank you for joining the discussion. Another name. It’s a new name here. Thank you. This is Dab. How are you doing? Could the Rockets bring back bring CP back? Yes. I don’t believe they will. I think he would be a more reliable backup point guard than Reed Shepard and allow Reed Shepard to be probably his best position right now at this young stage of his career as a two because I’m just not sold that Reed could be a be as effective running the offense as the Rockets believe. I just don’t share that belief. Heff says if the Rockets don’t extend Tara this off seasonason or before the season starts, they will lose Tara because the salary cap going up next year and teams will give Tara the bag. I mean, yeah, I I I’m was more confident that Tari would reach a deal with the Rockets this off season than Jabari. And Jabari got his done with a quickness. So complicated. I wonder I I will say this regarding Marcus Sasser. I hope, and that’s all it is, is a hope. I hope that Dennis Shruder not coming back to Detroit will open Bickerstab’s eyes to give Marcus Sasser minutes and a chance for those minutes. If Venosa would have stayed in Detroit, been resigned, Marks might have will ask to be traded. Edward states, you know, like I said, the logic is sound t people are probably going to ask for guaranteed years, all of them. But the Rockets wisely say, “But Tar, man, your your health is a concern. It’s they’re have to haggle.” So that’s that’s that’s where the hackling is probably coming in right now. And I agree with this same you know we’re all talking from a the outside looking in perspective. What you’re saying is correct. Tar can’t I mean he shouldn’t guarantee it but he’s going to ask for it. I mean he is cuz right or wrong you can say well Jabar missed games this year too. But y’all gave him five guaranteed years. So they’re going to say it. It’s up to Rafel, his people to say, “Yeah, but so you know, I mean, Reed is a point guard, not a shooting guard. He’s a very high level passer and good decision maker based on what? He barely played last year. Based on what he did in Kentucky, that’s Kentucky. Reed needs to get those minutes starting in a week and roll with it and show he’s got the confidence to get the job done and be what the be the player the Rockets believe he is. Thank you for the comment, Vanden Johnson. Astros paid Jordan on. Hey, I mean, I think they will agree and they’re going to hack. I don’t believe Tar’s going to get five years. So, you think they might give him a player option for the fourth year, the third year, whatever, and try to meet in the middle on money. DPG says there were better center options than Clint. Why did the Rockets go after him? Well, the Rockets already got their first backup big man in the fold, Stephen Adams. So, if if you are are a legit big man and you see the Rockets already got Stephen Adams to back up their starting five, why do you want to come to the Rockets? Clink Capella’s best days are in reduced minutes. Clint, he’s not better than Stephen Adams right now. Y’all agree with that? He’s not. So, I think Clint will be good with those Jock Landale minutes playing the second game of the back to backs when Steven Rest and get his run like that. Yaro believes the Rockets should keep Whitmore. Not going to happen. I I’d be shocked if Kam Whitmore is here much longer. shocked some guy named Andre. So, what’s the Rocket’s next moves? Bringing in a shooter. I think that’s part of it. Need to bring in a shooter. And see, he states they need a point guard. Space Age. I know what you’re saying. I know what she’s saying. Tara is not going to get guaranteed years. He’s not more than two. He’s not. But as he should for his own benefit, he should ask for it. He probably knows he’s not going to get five guaranteed years. He knows that. But he’s got to ask for it. And so should his reps. And then when the Rockets say no, let’s start haggling. Christopher House has finals this year. Final final four for sure and then it go from there. Bobby states the Rockets aren’t going to guarantee money to Tara till they know he can play back to backs. Agreed. Agree. Doesn’t mean Tara won’t ask for it though. Vanden Johnson in in your mind what is a decent amount and everybody family kin folk we’re talking NBA salaries now is monopoly money all right decent money left the NBA player salaries years ago And no shade on SGA, no shade on Giannis, Luca, and whoever that superstar is about four years from now who’s going to get $85 million per year. We have to somehow wrap our minds around the decent money that these guys get, the star players get is Monopoly money. We’re never going to see that kind of money. And folks can say Luca, LeBron, Steph, Book, KD, Giannis, these dudes making $50 million a year at least, and it’s going to go up. So don’t say they’re not worth it. They’re worth it because teams are paying them and getting them offering to them. So, yeah, they’re worth it. It’s just outlandish how much money they’re going to get. They’re getting now and will get more in the future. Who is the best NBA team in Texas? Oh, the Rockets. Yeah, no doubt. Rockets. I know. Wimies in San Antonio. That’s nice. Best team. Tar needs to work on his IQ and his handles. Agreed. His game isn’t all that, but he does play defense and has length. Best ability is availability. Indeed. You know, the Rockets might have, who knows, Rockets might have offered Tari$ 15 million per and gave reasons why. And Tar said that all 15 million, how about 18 million? Or it started off with, “How about 20 million per?” Rockets are like, “Oh, Tara, well, you know, you you have a you’re not available all the time.” So 15 million. And Tara says, “Well, you know, how about 19 million?” And Rocket say, “Oh, Tara, you still aren’t available all the time. 15 million.” And Tara’s like, “Y’all driving a hard bargain, man. I mean, $18.5 million. I mean, and it might end up being 15 million, might be 16 million.” So, Rich Base, how are you doing? front runner. Again, I’m surprised that folks Clink Capella has taken Jock Landell’s role. That’s what it is. That’s what he’s going to do. He’s going to take Jock Landell’s role. He’s just a better version of Jo Landell. I mean, he won’t play a lot. He’ll probably take the the second games of back tobacks that Stephen Adams does not play. What’s wrong with that? I mean, I would assume Clint understands what he’s getting himself into, eyes wide open, and see Steve Adams, he’s already here. So, I mean, if Clint did not study the Rockets roster beforehand, well, that’s on Clint, you know? So, not too complicated states. Cam Whitmore is emotionally unstable. That’s why he’s late in the draft. You can say immature. Just be like that. Same reason he’s getting traded. You know, he’s immature. It’s a nice way to put it. Vanden says a decent amount is whatever Stone decides to pay him because he fits this system and the coach likes him. So, we need to keep the territorians together and we’ll see if that’s 15 million per or a little bit more. So what what Clint’s getting? What 7 million per for the next three years? That is basically in today’s NBA the 10th man on the roster. I mean really that’s what it is. That’s that’s what it is. So it it goes to part of part of and and we have to we media fans, followers of the NBA. It’s difficult. It’s tough for me, but don’t equate the money a player is getting to the minutes they’re going to get. So somebody getting 7 million, well could have gave us somebody else. as well. Chuck Landell got eight men’s getting seven. All right. Now, Yaro, I’m surprised no one is really griping about the Rockets bringing back Aaron Holiday. Aaron Holiday is 61. He’s not a point guard. Rocks need a point guard. Another point guard. A veteran point guard. So Curtis says, “Yeah, we’ve talked about that. Other folks brought it up about Dame possibly coming to the Rockets, but again, that’ll be an investment for next season. Dame not gonna play this year. It be I mean he he’s got miles on those legs and he’s coming off a torn Achilles. That’ be an investment for next season. Leanne, how are you doing with a wave? Deshan Tate and Cam Wmore. not take you trade try to trade cam and rockets are set at center. Agreed. That’s a good question. Oh yeah, you did space age. You did the newcomers. Who do I think will be the first $100 million player in a season? Kylie. Wow. Wimi. Wimby. I’m gonna say Wimby. Probably Wimby. Hannah. Make $100 million in a season. A single season for playing the game you love. Oh, again. Wow. And I’m not mad at them. No way. Not at all. Rockets need to trade Holiday, Tate, Landell, and Whitmore for point guard. Bobby says a vet point guard is the one thing this team lacks. If Dame comes, Fred is gone. Yeah. Next year. Yeah. Yes. Yes. the Rockets will still run through Shingong first because I mean the first option, y’all know me. I’m old school. If you’re new coming to the show, welcome to the show. Come again. Don’t be a stranger. Tell your friends about this show and click on the bell so you’re notified when new shows are posted here on the channel. I’m old school. I like my offense to start close to the basket. If I have a skilled post up player, he getting the ball. He’s my first option. My second option would be somebody who can break down the defense and penetrate, make defense collapse, and then kick it out. Well, with Shenon on the blow block and KD out there on the perimeter, a double team, if it comes, Kevin Durant will end up with the ball eventually on the rotation on the passes. That’s money. That’s money. Should the Rockets sign Lillard? Like I said, it’ be an investment. He’s not going to play this coming season. He and he shouldn’t rush it back. Dane’s going to get paid from two teams, the Bucks and whoever signs him. So, he has no reason to rush his rehab. So, he’s not going to rush back. And he shouldn’t rush back. He set out this whole season with his new team. be ready for 2627. Let’s roll. I thought about that name. Malcolm Broglin on the vet minimum. Rich Bass asked this question. If Kevin Durant wins a wins Houston a championship, do I put him over James Harden as a rocket? No. But I do understand why folks would because KD won a chip with the Rockets. James had more success, more years, put up better numbers, didn’t want a chip. So, it depends on what what you value, what you’re going to weigh it for your determination. And and if Dame says that, that’s good. But why do that? Forget Dame. anybody. You’re you’re a player, an older play, hell, any player, 25 year old player, you miss 80 games of the season, and the trainer says, “Coach, he’s good for the playoffs.” Why would you do that? As a coach, as players, would you want a teammate who has not played the entire season to become in a playoffs? That makes no sense health-wise. I don’t care if he’s a future Hall of Famer. If he can’t come back by February and get ready for the blouse, don’t do it. Uh Chris Sak will be the low post option. Yes. And he’s has to he has to grow into it. He’s got all around game, but he’s going to be a low post option. Number one. Then hopefully Jojo will be number two. Hopefully. Do I put SGA over Kevin Durant as a Thunder? How many years was KD with the Thunder? I mean, cuz SGAA or whatever it is, SGA is going to end up with more years than KD play with the Thunder. So, it’ll happen with years and an accomplishment. What is the nonplayer assets you think we should get for Cam? Get some pick. Second round picks. That’s what I Exactly. That’s the analogy I brought in. Sign acquire Steve Adams via trade and the investment for this past season. He didn’t play when the Rockets got him. He rehabbed and got himself ready throughout the season. But Dame, what’s the point in playing bringing Dame in for 10 games to play? He can be on the be locker room and be a good mentor, that kind of stuff. I’m not going to risk that man’s health for 10 games. Uh, let’s see. You said that I didn’t. Regarding comebacks, what I think about Giannis in in what sense? As a rocket, don’t think it’s going to happen. Don’t think it’s going to happen. Hell of a player. Hall of Famer. Made himself into a Hall of Famer. Not sure he’s going to win another championship though in Milwaukee. But you I admire the Bucks. what the Bucks did. Waving Dame, stretching out the contract, and bringing in Miles Turner. You got to give them credit for not standing patent. I mean, they didn’t do that. So, in three seasons, when SGA gets 10, they’ll be past KD. There we go. Simple. Because SGA in all likelihood will finish his NBA career with a Thunder. So, he’ll pass up KD. Do I think LeBron gets traded? It sure sounds like they’re hinting at that, doesn’t it? It does sound like it. Boy, here that’s a that’s a huge contract and it’s that’s not an easy contract to trade. Solo says no way Giannis is staying to play with KPJ again. I mean, the ball is still in Giannis’s hands. He can still say, “Thank you for the moves y’all made. Even though you waved Dame without telling me, I like Miles Turner as a player. I like the moves we’ve made so far, but I still want to leave.” Jiannis says that the Buck’s screwed. If Jiannis says, “Yeah, trade me. I’m done. Trade me.” Let’s see. Clint Cabella Clint Compella is a blocker. Players that led the league in assists is Harden and Cade. Not named true point guards or not many true point guards around. I like Malcolm Brogen though. I like him for the Rockets. It wouldn’t cost much. Shouldn’t cost much. No. I wouldn’t play Dame in the playoffs. No. I’m I’m not one of these. I don’t believe in in just because you a superstar, I’mma give you the playoffs. If you didn’t play in 82 games, bleed, sweat, all those things, I’m going to stick with the dudes that got me to the playoffs. I’m not I’m not playing game in the playoffs. conditioning, working out with the team in February, March, but not playing in games, and his first action is going to be in the playoffs. That’s another injury right there. Not doing that. I’m not doing that. Rob, how you doing? If you ask for a trade, I hope you find the best place for him as long as it ain’t Houston. Uh, but you know, I think a lot of folks are now agreeing with Malcolm Brogden being a good fit, a good option for the Rockets. And let’s let’s end it right there. Y’all do a great job. Y’all do a great job. We went 45 minutes strong. Y’all came with it with the questions and the comments, topics. Excellent job. Salute to all of you. Probably not going to do it Friday because it’s the 4th of July. Uh might do a show on the 5th. Maybe Summer League games will have started on the 5th. I think the Utah the Salt Lake City league will start and the California Classic games will start on the 5th also. So, some Cougars will be playing on Saturday. So, might do a rocket show on Saturday. So, keep it locked here on the Houston round bar YouTube channel. Dur Monster, thank you very much for this. You are welcome. My pleasure.
