    Like some of the predictions, and what he think will happen next year. Good Read overall.

    Some of the Predictions :

    Stephen Silas will return next season
    John Wall will be bought out
    The Rockets will explore a trade if the right All Star is put on the market
    Wood will be traded


    Anyone have any? I for sure think Wood & Wall will be gone.

    Good thread.

    Offseason prediction: We’ll use Wood move up in the draft.

    Next season prediction: We’ll improve and compete for a play-in game.

    Rockets draft Banchero with the 2nd pick. The forum devolves into juvenile name calling and personal attacks :D

    KPJ/Wall/Nix
    Green/Christopher
    KMJ/Nets pick
    Jabari/Tate
    Sengun/Bruce

    Wall needs to build trade interest so ask him to come off the bench lol

    I think Stone moves heaven & earth to land him jabari or Chet to improve the front court and forward position. I predict Jabari & another 6’7+ 3&D forward with the nets pick

    Wood: I assume will be major trade piece to secure desired picks but I kinda hope Wood realizes if he doesn’t defer to Green/KPJ/Sengun that Houston won’t have him. If he was will to plan team basketball I’d give him another chance b/c of his 3 point shooting lol KPJ/Green/Jabari/Wood/Sengun would be a tall a** lineup!

    I think Wood is our most successful player and the Rockets will do much to keep him on the team.
    The new Head Coach will need to teach him how to play team basketball as well as teach all the rest of the present
    roster how to play team basketball. Silas did little ! Y

    2022-2023:

    - shet for chet
    - 6th seed and scoff at the lowly play-ins
    - get swept in 1st round
    - wood/wall lead the second unit and become a deadly duo from the 3pt, earning the nickname ww3
    - liverpool win the epl
    - silas' true colors come out and becomes a badass angry coach
    - tillmen buys chelsea and forgets about the rox, enabling the rock to truly become the great gm mauri meant for him to be
    - jeff horney resigns from the team, goes back to utah and go fukk himself

    Yes because they gave the rose to Paolo over Chet ‘The Human Unicorn’ Holmgren.

    I mean I could tell y'all what happens, but where is the fun in that. In a way it's a curse. I will say Melvin Olajuwon is going out best player in 2057

    1.) with the 2nd pick in the 2022 NBA draft, the Houston Rockets selected... Jaden Ivey from Purdue University
    2.) KPjr + Wood + Nwaba + BRK pick (#17) traded to Atlanta for John Collins and the Hawks pick (#15)
    3.) Gordon and the Hawks pick (#15) traded to Portland for Bledsoe and the Pelicans pick (#12), with the pick Rockets drafted Tari Eason
    4.) Got rid of Wall before the start of next season, either got bought out or being traded for smaller expiring contracts or useful players. Scenarios might be A.) traded with the Bucks' pick or SRPs to Boston for Smart and Horford's expiring contract and waived, Smart then re-route to Denver in 3-way trade and Will Barton to Detroit for Olynyk B.) to Clippers in a 3-way trade with Rockets receiving smaller expiring contracts like K.Love/Horford+R.Jackson... and waived

    my prediction for the lineup on opening night:
    Sengun, Olynyk, Fernando
    J.Collins, T.Eason, Garuba
    J.Tate, KM.jr.,
    J.Green, J.Christopher, Mathews
    J.Ivey, Bledsoe, Nix

    there'll be rumors of Rockets interested in trade for Zion around the deadline but nothing happens
    Rockets finished #11 in the West and draft in top 10 again

    KPJ is growing his hair and his game. You could be sure of that.
