    Its House who doesn't want to sign the deal no matter how much you scream "We need House" the Rox can't make him sign a deal he doesn't want to sign.

    The team is better with him on it. I just think its in the best interest of both the team and the player to come to some agreement beyond this season's end.

    What we don't know is what the House camp is asking for - is it most or all of the MLE or is it a sum like $100k-$500k over the minimum ? We really don't know.

    He was offered a long term deal. 3 years guaranteed. He would have earned 4.2 millions dollars.

    As it stands, the next NBA offer sheet he looks at will say $50k. Oh, and it is compulsory for him to take that money. Then, if by some miracle, a team wants him, the Rockets can match.
    In which scenario is it wise for the Rockets to throw extra cash at him just for the sake of it???

    It is a LONG way from the best interests of the team to sign him before seasons end.

    Leta not forget he had a handful of nice games last season for the Suns. But they didn't want him this year.
    Couldn't make the Rox squas
    Couldn't make the Warriors squad
    Gets a chance to enter the NBA on a guaranteed 3 year deal (as all rookies get the chance) but turns it down because he wants more....

    You want more? Prove it over a few years.

    As far as the claim the team is better eith him on it?

    In games House played 16-9
    Since House chose to sit out 17-7

    Yikes! 17-7

    the rockets can change the deal fool, and they would if winning was more important than luxury tax savings

    We have 9 playoff rotational players. The guy wants to take away all our flexibility after 25 decent games. Most players would jump at $4.2MM when you are making $50K. The guy is foolish, and I am not sure you want someone that unwise on your team.

    You realize those were the highlights, right? Just his best plays, with any mediocre or bad plays carefully removed.

    And he's playing against G-Leaguers.

    And we've won nine in a row without him.

    And signing him for what he wants could hamper our future financial flexibility.

    well according to cf's, he doesn't make a difference. there's a thread about him you're welcome to reference.

    and you said yourself "he cant protect the rim any better than nene, cant switch on to guards....offensively his game is very limited." that should answer your own question. why are you even trying to use him as an example if you posted this. oh because you have that agenda

    no, we do need him, because he has proven his worth, and like i keep saying, WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET. We don't have multiple all-stars like other teams. like faried, house has proven his value also.....shump looks like trash. more size, more athleticism, better shooter. its that simple. im not sure why you guys are ok with settling for less knowing what this team is up against.

    That doesn’t go along with what you said about faried though. It’s changed because you’re using him to support your agenda. Your logic is all over the place

    listen you stupid fukk.... my position changed because that was only a game or two since he was here. he played much better and had a very positive impact on the team. he is an asset now.

    shumpert not only doesnt fit, but was never that great to begin with. House completes this roster.

    Stupid fukk? Lol good one.

    Why so frustrated? Bc you got caught being a hypocrite, which doesn’t go along with what you’re even trying to say. There’s a reason why youre sitting there just randomly putting out what you think completes and what doesn’t complete the roster. Reality check. We all know you’ve been dying for an L so you can finally tell everyone why the rockets so desperately need him.
