    Seriously Who asked you?

    I watch games closely, you apparently in Feelings with Alperen Sengun.

    Alperen Sengun is Passive in Potential Fights every time, that is why Draymond Green punked Sengun.

    What does this thread have to do with Sengun? Is your brain broken or something? These barely qualify as passable sentences...

    I normally just ghost roam here because I’m m too lazy to login. But I remembered my login and came here to post that coincidentally I was going back and forth with ChatGPT To research our 1st apron cap situation and potential vet playmaking good shooting guards we could realistically get.

    It help me realize if we cut Nate Williams and cut Cameron Matthews it should give us around $3.5 mill under the 1st apron. Vet min is 2.3 mill

    some really good candidates it gave from using advanced metrics are:

    Spencer dinwiddie
    Malcolm Brogdan
    Gary Trent Jr.
    Dante Exum

    hopefully that’s stone plan


    I also did an unrealistic scenario to try to get Coby white from the bulls.

    it was possible to do and stay under 1st apron and keep Reed, but basically all other bench fodder would have to be traded along with Tari Eason too.

    Maybe use this as an opportunity to re-evaluate your use of ChatGPT to "research?"

    Agreed with the Charlotte Hornets on July 2nd, 2025.



    Agreed with the Milwaukee Bucks on June 30th, 2025.



    Agreed with the Dallas Mavericks on July 2nd, 2025.



    Additionally, the Rockets are so tight up against the first apron hard cap, taking a chance on a veteran that has an injury history like Brogdon is a lot more risky that it would normally be.

    They still need to suit up at least 8 healthy players per game, and they have a 37 year old KD who was top 6 in MPG the last two seasons, a 38 year old Uncle Jeff, a 32 year old Steve-O who usually doesn't play back to backs, an injury prone Tari Eason, and a 31 year old FVV who was #6 in MPG in 2024 and #17 in MPG in 2025.

    If Houston signs a guy to the Cam Matthews/Nate Williams roster spot, and that guy gets injured, they're not going to be allowed to waive them until he's healthy again. We need reliable inning eaters like Jae'Sean Tate to make sure that this team is not run into the ground by the playoffs, or we're playing some of the RGV two-way guys valuable minutes (because if the SL is telling us anything, it's that the Rockets really suck at finding end-of-roster prospects).

    Theres no room for that legit playmaker unless you plan to kick Reed Sheppard to the curb.

    The lineup already features 10 players FVV, Amen, Reed, Tari, DFS, KD, Jabari, Sengun, Adams, Capela

    Coaches usually tap out at 9 a game so you expect Udoka to play 11 guys a game? lol
