    I didn’t know much about this guy until I saw his name pop up as a potential replacement for Adams, but this seems like a good move for the Rockets if they’re looking to add another big.

    While his stats don’t stand out much, he hasn’t received a lot of time on the court. However, when given significant minutes he’s a guy that can block shots and rebound. Recently, he put up 13 rebounds, 14 pts, and 2 blocks when he received significant minutes.

    Perhaps most importantly, he stands at just under 7’ and gets off the ground with ease as a shot blocker. This is something the Rockets will need on the defensive end when Şengineer is on the bench during the playoffs.

    this roster is starving for guard play and perimeter shooting, and CF will suggest anything but

    He’s really underrated (Goga). We have Clint though for stronger players. Bari can fill the rest of the minutes against quicker 5’s. Sengun can guard most 5’s.

    We have very few means to make a trade, I suggest we focus on getting a guard who pairs well with Amen.

    @Codman was hinting that Goga is a rockets’ target. Hope he’s right. Goga is good.

    I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on Goga Bitazde he checked in for the pacers vs wizards in the second period and scored 18 points in 6 minutes and then my son got the Wizards dance team to throw him a XXL dc3 t shirt during the t shirt toss it was a good day the end

    Yes, the Rox are checking diligently for a hard working big and a guard from Orlando:s depth that can run some point.

    That is...if Stone doesn't press a freakout button to acquire a more expensive star by sacrificing a young, high ceiling core player. It's that and recognizing that another starter is contractually unhappy and a bit arrogant about "who he is".

    It would have been amazing to have Steve-O for the rest of the year and , of course, Freddy being our stability and Ime's unconditional support. Acl and other injuries destroy seasons. We've gotta take care of our core, especially KD.

    Much love to you and yours
