This team is running on fumes with Harden, Capella and Tucker logging in very heavy minutes and not resulting in wins. With 9 games left before December 15th, can this team stay above water and be around .500? Can we afford to wait until Dec. 15th/trade deadline or do we make a move now? When do you guys think we'll make a move? Do we have to give up valuable pieces/picks if we make a move to soon?
We make our move when other teams decide to make a move. I think Morey is ready to move right now, but we are just waiting for other teams to get deep enough into the season to decide what they want to do.
Obviously depends on the target.. Potential targets such as Green and Hood (just throwing out a few names) can't be traded until Dec 15th. Obviously with this team's lack of depth they really should make a move as soon as possible tbh.
Are we flirting with disaster? Harden and Capella are logging in very heavy minutes this early in the season. I say we have to make a very minor move and add a capable rotational piece without giving up valuable pieces.
Takes two to tango. Can't make a trade if no one is ready to deal. I'm sure Morey would like to something if given the opportunity.
Soon if we keep taking Ls. Deadline if we stay a .500 team I hope we keep taking Ls so he will make some moves, because a .500 team in this year's west could mean a 14th seed.
Last night the Rockets bench was House, Chriss, Hartenstein, Clark, and Carter-Williams. Worst in the NBA? Have to add someone soon. Harden and Capela won't make it through winter with this much on their shoulders.
Why not assign them to G League? I don't get it. Again, if Morey is too patient, the first round will be a struggle. Trade today!
We can win if Paul and Harden stay healthy. Problem is Paul and that shouldn’t be a realistic expectation
Makes me long for the glory days of the bench squad featuring Mo Taylor, Scott Padgett, 38 year old Mark Jackson, and Boki Nachbar!
