Rockets did the right thing today by not making changes. This is the formula that has worked so well for the past 30 years of futility. Why change now???

I can’t be upset because I don’t know the exact details of any of the possible scenarios. I’m sure Stone has the long term vision as the primary focus.

KD is great but look at every place he has been. Scorched less the loaded GSW.

Okay since you're probably trying to protect your friend that called me out as emotional, let me lay it out for you as simple as I can. The team is flawed and anyone watching the games without blinders should realize this. Remember the recent San Antonio game where we were clicking during the first half? That was some beautiful basketball and I was actually stating in the game threads at the time that I might be eating crow for the rest of my dinners. Then for some odd reason, we decided that it wasn't good enough and switched back to our old routines in the 2nd half which cost us the game. That is a flaw both within the coaching staff and also the players because they should have a voice to let the coaches know that.

Next one: If you read my post a few pages back, I did say that waiting until the deadline to actually make a move was a smart idea since we don't want to jump the gun and do a trade just for the sake of trading. We still need to position the team to where we are not going to be hampered and find a rational move to let go of deadweight contracts like DFS, Unc, Tate, and Holiday. By freeing up some cap space, we should be able to add actual players who can contribute during the buyout market but we did not, same as last year when we traded for Cody Zeller (where is he now?).

Finally, I don't gamble and that point isn't really central to what I'm arguing. Focusing on it instead of the broader context sidesteps the actual issue within the team. If there's a clear and logical case for how we can succeed come postseason without making meaningful adjustments then I'm open to hearing it. What I'm pushing for is a discussion grounded in reasoning and concrete solutions, not a dismissal of the argument as emotional or an asssumption that the current approach is sufficient.

Why would I read someone’s emotional reaction to the trade deadline? I literally don’t care.

Well you just did or we wouldn't be talking right now right? But you do you

I don't even think our guys believe in themselves anymore. I couldn't be more frustrated with Sengun. There has been no improvement. I was buying in to the baby Jokic idea. He's still good, but I've lost all hope of him ever being a superstar.
