    I’m actually excited and I hate small ball. We’re giving MDA what he wants, so he can finally show us what he’s worth! All in on our strategy, let’s go :)

    Not sure I want to see all out switching again, but maybe it works like a charm. Let’s go small ball!!! I’m serious btw.

    There is zero chance PJ makes it through this season healthy. Zero.

    If only they realized this years ago. Rockets I think could easily be back-to-back champions if they made a trade like this earlier.

    Why? Half the game he stands at the corner baseline waiting for a pass from Harden or Westbrook.

    Moot point now. But AG has shown capable of shooting 3P at 34% or better the last 2 seasons before this one. Hes been nicked up this season.

    IMO he will return to form in wide open offense Rockets currently playing, maybe better.

    Try again next year I guess.

    Right now I want 6'10 Jonah Bolden, he can fill same role. Shot 35% from 3 last season and 40% overseas.

    And hes available for SRP methinks.

    Small ball is a updated plan based on underachieved first half season, having cc dealt and reinforce wings is a midseason tweak. Give it a shot.
    Neglecting position they play, cc+frp > roCo.
    Money in tilman's pocket, to him, biz > b-ball, he obviously dunt want put all egg in it especially should this team failed to make it post-season one mote time. He got a business-wise plan b.

    Not getting any run this season, too many bigs ahead of him. Looked good last season and coming out of Adriatic League.

    His skillset, length and athleticism is great fit for Rockets IMO.
