    Great video. A couple things to note:
    – Reports are Tari Eason got offered a 100M+ contract. It was not fully guaranteed, while Jabari's 5/122 is fully guaranteed. That's probably where the breakdowns came.
    – Yeah, KD accelerates the timeline but at the same time, you can't keep everyone even if you didn't trade for KD. It's very likely they'd still lose some guys due to not paying them anyways, even with no KD. They'd just have that bad Jalen Green contract on the books and that could also get in the way paying players. At least it's KD getting in the way, and not Green. That's probably the FO view, and it sucks to see Tari being the odd-man out.
    – This team is sorely missing FVV. He wasn't just their PG, he was their floor leader. He was the guy that helped slow the pace down and direct teammates. Kinda like everyone loves to call CP3 an "on-court coach", FVV was basically that for the Rockets.

    They just need to give Sengun the damn ball every time down the floor and go from there. Everyone eats if he touches the ball first

    Rarely comment on video but yeah., as others said this video made so early in the season is full of weird (to put it kindly) takes and what ifs.

    I would assume it was recorded before the recent Hou vs Atl game.

    Usually love your videos Andy but you haven't been watching the rockets this year so far. If anything adding KD has helped the younger guys out a ton more and hasn't affected their touches, he already draws enough attention and has been great with dishing it out to sengun, amen, and jabari. Not the best video.

    Thompson still needs to get paid probably next season.

    It's not that we don't like Eason. It's the team maneuvering around salary cap rules.

    Im not sure why I have to keep saying this to these random youtubers not knowing what they are talking about. THE ROCKETS DIDNT REFUSE TO LOOK FOR A GUARD THEY COULD NOT SIGN ANYONE WHEN THEY FOUND OUT. And they only just were able to file for the disabled player exception which they still cant sign anyone for months. As far as Eason goes you guys again are talking about sht you know nothing about. You guys did this with the Durant contract calling it drama when the Rockets just needed more time to work things out. Its making news out of nothing.

    Tbh I always felt bad for the Houston Rockets ever since this trade. Because it means they were no longer a young team that is loaded with young talent and just trying to learn, they are now a team that is expected to win now and they're is a lot of pressure on them to produce right away
