Rockets gauging teams’ interest in KJM, Garuba and JayGup - Jake Fischer

none of them have much of a place on the roster moving forward

Cam Whitmore might as well be the KJ replacement

I think JC and Garuba just suck as well

 

I don’t think Silas gave Jaygup a fair chance, I hope he gets another shot with Udoka.

 

Josh Christopher might have killed his chances here by trying too hard and being a ball hog. I think he will be a very good player once he matures. I'd take a chance on him if I had a veteran roster he could learn from.

 

Someone check on Williamson.

 

I hope Garuba gets another chance with the Rockets. I think he will flourish under Ime's system. In Garuba's favor is that he doesn't throw up a lot of bad shots, he rebounds, he plays defense, and it looks like he can develop a 3Ball. He just needs to show up in shape and stay healthy.

 

Man! I would have guessed Usman is an Ime player through and through.

 

we never got to see what they guys could really do. I hope they all can get a chance with Ime.

 

Last summer's Summer League soured me on Christopher. Every time he got in a game it was nonstop throwing up contested 3's and long 2's. His shooting efficiency was awful as well during the regular season. He is another guy that would benefit from being held accountable. I think with Whitmore falling into the Rocket's lap at 20, the Josh Christopher era will end sooner rather than later.

 

The main thing is Garuba and Josh did not even have a chance to raise their value.

 

I would trade Josh for a 2nd round pick. He’s the easiest player to find. I’d trade him just to separate him from Jalen. I think it would be good for Jalen.

 

The Rockets gauged interest and the results are in:

Nobody wants our scrubs!

 

They really haven't built up enough value to garner too much trade interest on the market.

The best we could possibly do is KMJ for a guy like Jericho Sims or something/someone similar.

 

If the Clippers are interested in KMJ and Norm Powell is available, I’d try to get that done. I don’t know how that works with their salaries not close to matching though. Norm would give us a pro scorer off the bench.

 

Based on 2K we should be able to pull in about 5 unprotected 1sts between the 3 of them.

 

It wouldn't.

We'd have to include Ja'Sean and Jabari in order to allow the salaries to match. KJM is only set to make a little under 2 million next season.

 

Garuba should be traded to a team with either dark brown or black shorts. Just in case.

 

For real. Just do "Trade Finder" and you'll get at least an unprotected 1st and unprotected 2nd for each of them. If Stone doesn't realize this, he should be fired.
