WOJ: BREAKING Westbrook to Houston for CP3 & Picks!!!

The rockets aren’t catching the Knicks anytime soon. Lol Brunson is easily better than anyone on this team. Randle is clearly better also

oh more wishful thinking and projection. They’ll probably a veteran star. Sure they will

it doesn’t tell anyone anything.

 

I think they can catch them by next season as a play in mid team. Most of our young studs are in the most accelerated part of NBA development during a typical NBA career(19-22).

 

Lol not happening. More play in nonsense like folks tried to say this year. Whoever they draft will be a rookie. Bari will still be only in his 2nd year and green still needs to show he can take a leap into a 3rd year breakout. None of that is a play in team

 

Lol what? Like a couple people said that and we're joking. Zero analysts and non Rocket fans thought that would be the case. Non Rocket fanatics are now believing it is possible. It definitely should be a goal next season. They are done trying to get high level talent through the draft by next season.

 

No. There’s threads about it and plenty of folks thinking it and it definitely wasn’t a joke. Play in is just once again laughable. Focus on getting to 25 wins which is pathetic to begin with. Suddenly skip to play in. LOL

 

Just because there is a pattern recognition of one season of some fanatics jumping the gun doesn't mean this team people can't have more rational opinions that it's possible next season especially depending what talent we get in the draft. If it's a home run hitter like Wemby, it's even more likely.

 

It isn’t rational. It’s irrational wishful thinking and projections that aren’t realistic. It’s folks that don’t understand what a full rebuild is and how long it takes to become relevant again

 

Okay I already know you believe this. Say something more intriguing like defending your premise rather than repeating it.

 

like you? ok. tell me how to post like how clutch should post on his own twitter. Everyone must post like how fchow wants

 

The Rockets are on pace to win 24 games with less than half a season of play. And on a young team of rookies and sophomores, there usually is progress between first and second half of seasons especially when teams are resting more often. So realistically unless the Rockets go like ultra rank mode and start Nix or something they have a shot at 30 wins this season. Next season you can a bigger jump due to their stage of development where they can reach near .500 which means play in territory.

 

what a pace! 30 wins. LMFAO

 

These are paces we have seen multiple times in the NBA with teams that are full of 19-22 year old players making up the fast majority of their rotation.

Keep in mind the Rockets might consolidate some talent to bring in a veteran star player to complement our core that can also accelerate win rate.

 

not really. not a team in a full rebuild. it takes much longer

yeah more wishful thinking. outside of getting rid of guys like green, bari you're not getting some vet star

 

Disagreeing or agreeing with when the rebuild will finish into win now mode being a couple more years or a few more years is trivial to my main point anyways.

The Knicks ceiling as a team with their current roster make up is lower than the Rockets core when they reach their primes. Sengun and Green at 25 is going to be better than anything on that Knicks roster. Even KPJ at 25 is going to be better than anyone on that Knicks roster.

 

it isn't. if it is, then quit talking about it.

kpj at 25 isn't going to be better than brunson or randle. that's captain obvious. he can only wish he can be as good as those two. it doesn't matter what you're silly projections you want to throw out. you have no clue what their ceiling is. all you're literally doing is trying to tell me what the future hopefully holds and throwing darts

 

Are Brunson and Randle like two superstars? They are borderline all-stars some seasons and mid players other seasons.

I think it's reasonable to assume that KPJ might be better than any player on that roster at 25.

At the very least the Rockets have 3 players in Green, Sengun and Bari that will most likely be better than anyone on the Knicks when they reach their prime.

3 at least. 4 maybe. That's a much higher ceiling. Hence why any franchise and GM would rather be in the Rockets shoes than Knicks.

 

they're two all stars. something kpj will never reach. it isn't reasonable

more dart throw projections. you know what reality is more likely, its likely not every single player lives up to what CF's wants to think they are.

the rockets are worried about catching the likes of the worst teams in the league. not playoff teams like the knicks but to no surprise folks who don't understand how full rebuilds works they project skipping massive steps as if that's how it works. Nah

 

Outside of Homer googles I think it's safe to say that Green and Sengun at this point have proven that their trajectory is much higher than a Randle, Brunson level player.

Obviously things like injuries, mental issues etc can come up out of nowhere and derail their careers. That's always a possibility. But we don't incorporate that into projections

 

their trajectory means nothing. its homer goggles that believe theyre on a sure fire path to stardom. theyre not and both have an extremely long way to go

 

Saying that someone of KPJ's production and talent at 22-23 years old can never be an all-star is absurd.

He is misused. That doesn't mean he isn't extremely talented.
