    Not much apparently. Probably not smart to make a desperate move for a player like him though.

    Nah Lavine sucks.

    No major trade will happen this year as JG cant be traded till the offseason.

    Yup.

    We are a professional basketball team that cannot shoot.

    It feels like if we shot "average" we'd be an elite squad.

    PASS. There’s a reason he is on the trade block and his teams always underachieve.

    Trade Fred for a PG who can shoot.

    Zach Lavine is 29 years old with a broken leg, bad knees, bad feet. Zach misses the whole season or most of the season. Do research.

    If MDA were the coach, Fred would be traded.

    He is not the PG that MDA likes playing.

    I wished Reed Sheppard would've taken the scoring load off the bench. Give Fred VanVleet that rest.

    Or should've played Aaron Holiday more, benched Fred. It sends a message, a bad one too.

    I swear his play style is Rafer Alston NBA version. Rafer Alston got traded.

    Rockets traded for Kyle Lowry from Memphis. Traded for Goran Dragic from Phoenix.

    Mike DAntoni had a knack for making PGs look decent in his system. Even Chris Duhon had an okay run under DAntoni. He unlocked Harden by making him full time PG. He unlocked Steve Nash by giving him complete freedom.

    I'd trust Mike to be able to make Reed look awesome. I would love it if he came in as a consultant at least.

    Defense is there. Offense..need either a ton more shooting or someone that can mske baskets when things get tough.

    Team is very good.

    The main issue that the rockets have is that they don’t have a plan B on offense. If the FVV and Sengun pick and roll isn’t working then they don’t have anything else.
