Pretty close to where I am, though not a huge fan of Dillon Brooks. Would include KMJ rather than TyTy in Dillon Brooks S&T. PG: FVV, Amen, TyTy SG: Green, KPJ SF: Brooks, KPJ, Cam PF: Green, Tari, Garuba C: Sengun, Lopez KPJ gets starter minutes off the bench; maybe a closer over Brooks if going offense/defense Then fill out roster with a minimum vet 3&D and big man.
Kuzma > Brooks I think this team needs a lob threat and blocking mindset to back up Sengun. Sengun - X Jabari - Eason Kuzma - Porter- Tate - Whitmore Green - Josh - Van Fleet - Amen
A young Center, Rockets Management should try harder to trade Martin to the Mavs for Lively. We wont be sorry, Lively is going to be able contribute to the Rockets right away !!!! Y
So instead of making Lopez our priority, we chase the guy that maybe a handful of teams want, but cannot even offer the contract he wants. Let Brooks suffer while we first explore better options. Lopez should get a max offer just like FVV!
For Houston, Brook Lopez has been a primary target on a short-term deal for an elevated salary, but his preference has always been to remain with Milwaukee should the offers be comparable in the high teens to $20 million average annual salary range. https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-rum...-bruce-brown-donte-divincenzo-lakers-rockets/
Lopez could be a huge difference-maker for the rockets. This signing would excite me more than any of the other ones being discussed.
I think the Rockets are out on Lopez, he shoots the ball too well for what the team is trying to do. Adding him alone would double the number of at least average shooters on the team and they just can't have that.
