    Tari can’t play back to back and has been multiple injury trips this season. DFS is needed at this point. Especially with Adams down and Sengun being hobbled.

    If we trading just for LTS, I’m not going to anymore rockets games during the regular season. I’m gettting tired of this bs

    The only Ball brother I would trade for. FVV needs to be a man and take his money and accept a trade. He’ll probably get bought out anyways. Not sure if I’d want that contract for 3 more years though. Not sure how many picks they’d want

    I deadass forgot Lonzo Ball was a thing, but if Cleveland is willing to give us enough picks to take him off their hands, why not?

    God please no!! He was ass when he was good. There’s not enough eye bleach in the world to have to look at that jumper on the regular.

    Hell no to LaMelo. If I’m trading with Charlotte, I want Knuepple. I’d give them there pick of any 3 of our picks except the Nets 27. Throw Reed in if you have to. If they want Sengun, then Knuepple, filler, and the 26 Washington pick they own, nothing else from us.

    He actually changed his shot in his second year and improved his shooting every season... until that big injury occurred. Now he probably will never be the same again.

    Before the injury, he was a solid PG with good size, good defense, and decent playmaking and shooting.

    It doesn't seem to stop us watching Amen to be fair.

    I forgot to add the “Rockets fam, Amen watcher” disclaimer. At least Amen’s vaguely resembles a jumper.

    He’s still the 2nd worst Ball brother.

    LOL. Well, tbh, before Lonzo's injury, I probably would take him over his little brother. Sure LaMelo is a star level guy and Lonzo was a role player. But LaMelo is one of those second tier superstars you have to give him the max and the key to the team but not good enough to lead a championship level team. Plus he has missed nearly half of his games. His injury proneness is almost at Anthony Davis level.

    Unfortunately, I think Lonzo is done.

    What does he do for us? He would be our best passer but he's an automatic brick.
