    Guy complained about Jalen Green’s shooting for two damn years. Now he wants Amen. Jalen is Ray Allen compared to Amen as far as shooting is concerned.

    He’s only complaining because his boy KPJ is either going to the bench where he belongs, or getting traded.

    Making a career off hitting one big shot against Golden State, the Kyrie Irving Special.

    The plan was always to have him for 2 years, the 3rd year just mean they’re going to have to attach a 1st to dump him. It’s still very manageable going forward as he will become an expiring himself

    Before I saw that that video of Jalen Green i would’ve been slightly indifferent about this, but now I appreciate it. We need some adults and leaders in this team.

    I mean, he is standing in the way of the team's dream of being the worst shooting team in modern NBA history....

    I'm good. Rockets will cross that 3rd year bridge when it comes.

    If he doesn't like the idea of being 6th man, then yup.

    I like it

    it’s not an overpay when you have a **** ton of cap space to spend. Seems like some of you would rather sit on the money and do nothing

    Coach Ime must believe. The Rockets had a chance to get Harden this summer and instead opted to make FVV their number 1 target.

    He won a championship. He hit that dagger 3 the rimmed rolled in suspense to beat Philly.

    Hemorrhaging firsts to dump salary, the only constant under Tillman.

    And being a part of one of the best defenses in the eastern conference and making the All-Star team and...

    I don't think some of y'all realize the abyss we've been in for three years.

    Media, players, CF, basically everyone and their great grandmother: Rockets are a clown show. Rockets kids really need veteran leadership.

    Also them: “LOL You really paid this guy?! Clowns! They were better off literally doing nothing!”

    Some of you were already panicking after the first hour.

    As a result of being said clown show, you have to overpay. Good players aren’t leaving to go to the worst team in the league the last 3 years.

    He’s 29. Not 39. Not going on 34(coughhardencough). 29. Could he suddenly drop off the face of the earth? Yeah, it’s possible.
    They had 60 million. Still have 24 left. (Might as well offer most of that to Brook)
    Yes — of their own doing — they owe picks to OKC.

    They overpay, they get clowned on.
    They miss on these guys, they get clowned on. “LOL, no one wants to come to this shitty franchise.”

    It’s funny, many would’ve had no problem paying 34-year old Harden his max and no expectations of winning yet Fred needs to win and win now and live up to his contract.

    All I am going for is that he is the catalyst that will markedly improve the team and make us an attractive destination for free agents.
