    If true, I’m not a big fan of Jones posting cryptic messages about playing time THIS early into his career. Especially on a two-way contract.

    Bmac sounds like he knows he’s involved in a trade or something that could be around the corner.

    All the dude said is he wants to play. Nothing wrong with that I mean its one thing if he sucked but his stats show he deserves pt. I dont think its cryptic man I think its normal he wants PT to show what he can do and get a nice deal.

    Too bad for him Rox are in the driver seat he just gonna have to suck it up.

    It's just simple math. If we don't move Tucker, Dipo, Exum, EGo these guys are never going to get minutes. It doesn't matter how many years you sit them without meaningful minutes you get nothing. It's 6 guys and not just a Capela you can roll out there or you forget to get a SF and just plug in House. I get the suggestion that they want to hide Jones on the 2 way but we went through this with House. Get some trades done and figure something out. This is early in the season. You don't want this kid sitting the whole year.

    I think after the Trade Deadline Mason Jones will play more minutes.

    Kevin Porter Jr. also will get playing time in order to develop him and gain Chemistry.

    SG Mason Jones I think should come off the Bench
    SG Kevin Porter Jr. I think should Start

    Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon, P.J Tucker, Ben McLemore need to be traded for 1st Round Picks or Early 2nd Round Picks.

    Mason Jones has proven he can shoot, that's it. If you want to run the second unit you are gonna have to do more than that. How can he be complaining about PT? Ridiculous.

    Goodbye Bmac...you are also a one dimensional streaky shooter.

    Isn't there a decent secondary PG we can snag?

    Since the Harden trade Jones has played about 130 minutes. The Rockets are a by FAR team worst -16.9 net rating with Jones on the floor in those minutes. 2nd worst would be, you guessed it, Bmac at a -8.0 net.

    The Rockets are getting curb stomped with those guys on the floor.

    I like Mason Jones, but I don't like him that much lol. I understand the frustration, but if you want to play, look at Nwaba as an example of how you make coach keep you in a rotation. Tate is also a good example.

    BMac, I loved you when you were are only decent shooter, but your defense is horrendous and until you improve that part of your game, the Rockets don't have the luxury to have you out on the floor.

    Gordon has negative value. You’d have to attach a first to him to get him traded.

    Well Jones looks scared to penetrate or make moves out there. Just dribbled around the perimeter to pass it off

    you can’t just be a good 3 point shooter on this team anymore. The Harden Era is over

    Just ask Ben, that’s why he’s getting traded lol

    Loved Jones and now he looks scared to shoot. Last three games has zero points and just pulls the Anderson scared to look at the hoop approach. I just want him to play too....with Porter and Martin in the minors.
