    Well it was fun while you were here guys. At least we replaced all your 1st round picks with a couple of future seconds and a very nice trade exception for our rival Grizzlies. I won’t mention Alpha Phupa out of respect to his family.

    Garuba, tyty never got a chance under sht silas.

    Jc has potential year 1 and then was stuck in silas doghouse year 2


    Kjm wanted to leave so trading him wasn't the end of the world


    Getting rid of the young potential to sign Brooks and fvv. What a sht offseason.

    We're waisting a thread on unrealized potential now?

    The tanking years have turned ClutchFans into a bunch of wimps. :rolleyes:

    C'mon, have some respect for Rockets legends and give them each a thread.

    So, Tate is still on our team? Christopher on our team? I thought they were in a sign and trade with Memphis

    Well if we signed actual players, it would b more encouraging.

    We got rid of players who weren't given a chance under the sht silas for what fvv, brooks and lockadle?

    Hilarious how we went from the team with the most salary flexibility to having to give away underutilized young players with potential.

    Are these really the players you guys are crying over? This is trash that would not have gotten minutes anyways. We didn’t touch any of the 7 core young players.

    TyTy deserved better. Wish them all huge success going forward. Probably not the best experience for them with this org.

    Garuba probably the biggest loss. Maybe the shooting was a fluke but I'm not sure I would've given him up for less than Okongwu. Maybe Capela was reaching for the stars but you couldn't even pull Okongwu? You couldn't even get Bruno Fernando back??

    That's the only move that's chapped me so far.

    They wanted to see them warm the bench another season waving their towels the few times we were doing well.

    I like the Red Wedding day analogy... also the Godfather "Taking care of all family business today." Someone should start a thread...

    "potential"

    KJ is undersized and can't play defense. He's an energy big which there is a use for. I was disappointed in the hurt.

    Josh is trash. There's 100's of Josh's available in the G League. He was horrendous in college and I was mad as hell that we even drafted him. He's the easiest player to find.

    Ty Ty is undersized. He'll be one of those players that is too good for the G League but not good enough for the NBA. He went to a team where he will have even less of an opportunity behind Trae.

    Garuba. I don't know. He's slow footed and not very athletic. He had defensive potential though, I guess. He's so bad offensively that he would get played off the floor anyways.
