    seems like Ryno and Melton would be more useful than Chriss and Knight at this point

    Unloading Ryan's contract whole loading up a contract worth 160M where the player will only play 25-50% of the games over that contract length.

    But what good did unloading a decent 3 point shooter and rebounder do if you restocked with worse talent? I'd like Ryno on the team right now hes actually an nba player.

    The Rockets are officially tanking for the number one pick in the draft. Do you have a better explanation?

    This is also true, it is a sign of some slight desperation of course, which is understandable to a degree, sort of a go big or go home thinking, but Melo had not worked with both of the Rockets coaches in the past, he had not worked in a somewhat similar role though on a different team in a somewhat different system, there were signs it wouldn't work, but everyone wants to see for themselves. It was a reasonable gamble, but the problem was probably that if it didn't work, there wasn't truly a backup option.

    I agree. Shooting 3s only make sense when you're making it at all high percentage. We're not. Our misses lead to fast brakes got our opponents . So a missed 3 is a plus 2 or 3 for the opponent.
