    You are hilarious!

    Are you really disputing that Jackson is NOT a dumbass now too?

    Way to double down on a very bad take.

    No one is saying Jackson cant play, it's his off court BS that gets him in trouble.

    If you have blinded yourself to this, then you really do live up to your T Bag moniker.

    Is this an all encompassing preseason thread as well?

    Good a spot as any for preseason highlights I guess.

    Not sure it will really affect Rockets because they are projected to only carry 14 players for salary cap and roster flexibility.

    Coaches challenge is interesting albeit unsurprising too.

    But anything that can be weaponized into an advantage helps.

    I thought he was going to be a lot better than he is, has been quite a bit of a bust. Maybe he can step up in a small role

    Hopefully he would be a late bloomer. Really good athlete and has confidence, just never translated to consistent play.

    Hezonja is not a personal favorite but his addition would upgrade Rockets roster, which is the goal.

    He is athletic, long with guard skills and fits need at 3/4.

    And he is a legit NBA rotation player, unlike:

    Chris Clemons
    Trevelin Queen
    Brodric Thomas
    KJ Martin

    Hezonja has also been NBA starter and so better than:

    Jerian Grant
    Sterling Brown
    Jae'Sean Tate

    And not even counting the 2 way contracts: Mason Jones
    Kenny Wooten

    And fyi, younare correct I've targetted many players for the Rockets based on the system being run and philosophy of FO and HC.

    Some of my targets in last 7 seasons:

    Nic Batum
    Trevor Ariza
    Eric Gordon
    Eric Bledsoe
    Robert Covington
    PJ Tucker
    Aaron Gordon
    Nerlens Noel
    Bruno Caboclo
    Christian Wood
    Harry Giles
    De'Anthony Melton
    Brandon Clarke
    Jonah Bolden
    Ryan Broekhoff
    Justin Anderson
    Mo Bamba
    Kelly Oubre
    Kenny Wooten
    Matisse Thybulle
    Tyler Herro
    Tyler Johnson
    Langston Galloway
    Kendrick Nunn
    Isaiah Joe
    Paul Reed
    Mamadi Diakite
    Shaq Harrison

    A lot of these players ended up acquired by Rockets or acquired by 76ers after Morey hired.

    Few others have been on Rockets radar, or specifically Morey's radar.

    My track record for players is not half bad.

    Terrible from three but in that rockets system he will improve. Worth a look

    Fit I would think.

    Just like Jeff Green.

    But inconsistent 3ball too.

    I like Tate's energy but still not sold he deserves FT rotation minutes.

    Need to see more actual production on offense, maybe tomorrow.



    But there's no doubt, Tate plays rugged defense.
