    Houston rockets need a guard I tell you and the world no fred is not coming back this season they need to trade him you can't depend on 37 years old Kevin Durant you need a playmaker they should bring Chris Paul or trade for Kyle Lowry or Eric Gordon

    Amen had season high 31 pts, 13 boards vs Kings. Amen is averaging over 23 pts and just shy of 11 boards during last 5 games (4 losses). He is FAR from the problem. Same with Sengun. The problem in starting 5 has been Jabari Smith Jr. PERIOD.

    And Rockets did not need FVV or anyone else to win before this slump. The solution just cannot be FVV because its not realistic right now. Rockets need to trade Jabari and this is not a knee jerk reaction, been on the trade Jabari wagon since last season. Rockets do not need a wannabe KD who Udoka (and Durant) coddles – they need improvement in 3P%, FT%, FG%, rebounding, physicality, rim protection, finishing, transition offense and turnovers. Trading Jabari for Kel'el Ware fixes all those things. Need to upgrade from Capela and that 2nd/3rd unit as well.

    HOU: Kel'el Ware, Cam Thomas, Robert Williams III, Pelle Larsson
    MIA: Ja Morant, Jabari Smith Jr., KCP, Clint Capela, Jae'sean Tate, Aaron Holiday
    MEM: Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins
    POR: MPJ, Ziaire Williams
    BKN: Jerami Grant, Terry Rozier, Jeff Green, 3 FRP (Heat 2029, Rox 2028, Blazers 2027)

    This trade forces Udoka to change the offensive identity and over reliance on inefficient players.

    Offense needs work, but personnel issues as well, not enough spacing… The reason why Denver offense is elite is because Murray and Jokic skill sets mesh well… Both Murray and Jokic can score on all three levels… If Jokic is getting doubled alot in the post, he has the skill set to play off ball and his defender has to respect his 3pt shooting, this opens up DRIVING lanes for Murray to his thing… And vice versa, if Jokic posting up, Murray has the ability to be a catch and shoot threat as well..

    After reading the nonsense written by idiots on Twitter, coming here and listening to someone who speaks calmly and intelligently feels incredibly good.

    Suns fan here! I'll explain the KD dilemma as best as I can based on what I've seen from him in PHX and his prior stops. BTW, he was my favorite NBA player growing up. KD is a massively talented player and is always the most talented and best player on any team he's on, he's just that good. The problem is, he just wants to hoop. He's said that so many times throughout his career. What that translates to is a player who literally simply wants to play basketball. Not win titles, not lead the team, not take accountability, not make sacrifices for the team, etc. The reason this matters is because on any NBA team, your best player NEEDS to be a leader in order to win a title. All other players on the team look up to KD, no matter how talented they are, because he's always the best player (except for maybe the GS stop) and they therefore emulate him, including his "just hoop" mindset. For example, Devin Booker has always been a guy who's heated after a loss, pretty much always. But when KD was here and they got blown out, he said in a postgame interview that he was "chilling" which I've never heard before. Even Devin Booker emulated KD. When KD was asked who the leader on the team was, he said "coach". On top of that, KD has a preferred style of play which heavily slows games down, and he's not super physical so he turns the ball over a lot against physical teams. Then there's also the added pressure of any team he's on having a "championship or bust" mindset, which can lead to stagnation and even regression for young/role players. The offense will look so difficult with little to no easy baskets but KD will make most of his tough shots. He also tends to dribble the ball off himself and out of bounds at the worst times. But, he always gets his stats, so no one can blame KD, right? It worked in GS because Steph was the best player and the leader of the team. Unfortunately, this will get worse. The effort will continue to be inconsistent. There will be a huge win that gives you hope, then several terrible losses against bad teams which will make vibes worse. KD's body language will continue to get worse. This Rockets team sounds just like the Suns teams from the last two years, and the Nets before that. This is now a pattern with KD. Since he's not a bus driver, he can't win a title on his own. Maybe he can prove me wrong, but I'm not seeing it. The Suns are playing SO much better without him and are playing as a unit, not a team pressed to get someone the ball.

    Welcome back hope we are in better circumstances. 😢

    I didn't feel good about that Pelicans game, and was telling everyone it's a trap game before the game. And then everything went bad from there.

    I think you are spot on many things, losing both Dillon and Fred was huge for us, because they were the traffic directors. I was watching those DFS minutes, and I actually think he can help direct a lot on the defense, unlike many stats readers believes
