Our once proud franchise is being run into the ground

They suck at drafting and free agency. But they sure are entertaining! Yayyyy!!!

 

The Rockets will only do just enough to keep us interested. No more than that. Never really competing for anything accept our attention.

 

It’s always amazing to me that the people and companies that can hack the human emotions, can literally outperform and get more attention than literally genius level world changing ideas and inventions or true unique artistic things.

a goofy tik toker can be a multi millionaire while a guy who can literally build a world changing device never gets a shot.

it’s amazing and a scary thing about humanity at the same time.

 

Yeah Stone is already risk adverse and you can hear it in his interviews, he literally doesn’t want to do anything because they are going to go over that apron at some point

 

Exactly.

And nobody wants Sengun or Durant. Having removed myself from this garbage...I can say the
common fans love to see the team
disintegrate in real time right before their eyes.



Can this clown show get any worse

 

The Rockets are no worse than Landry’s.

 

It's funny that teams who we are supposed to be wiping the floor with are actually making incremental but meaningful adjustments to their roster while Stone and Ime are probably vacationing right now while enjoying an expensive bottle of wine while watching the world cup unfold

 

The Rockets have decided to wait and see what they have in their young players who are all a few years away from their primes rather than taking "the sky is falling approach" and trading away everything for a fleeting likely unsuccessful try at a single championship by trading for over the hill players. Some fans can't seem to handle that. They are trying to build a team to win for a decade rather than throwing in all the chips on a single chance that probably never materializes. I assure everyone, the sky is not falling. If our young guns do not pan out by the time they hit their prime then moves will be made. It is extremely hard to read the GARM this time of year.

 

when you say “ no player development” what does that exactly mean? This is a broad term many fans keep talking about with no clear definition. What does this term mean to you?

 

Like I said we are the new Kings or Magic. Maybe we will reach a playoff every 5 -10 years but we wont win. This is the fist time I have ever felt the Rockets had subpar maangement. Im sure they are doing their best but they dont know enough about basketball to understand what ti takes to win. So now they are just trying to not lose money.

 

Not a high iq comment as we gave away a lotto pick and #2 in Jalen Green for a 37 year old and traded a lotto pick this year as well. We’re no longer considered a “younger” team thanks to Stone.

 

this roster construction is a joke, as is the fit with KD on this team. As is our player development. When this ill-conceived experiment comes to an end, 7+ yrs will have been wasted doing things the wrong way, with decision makers that were ill-suited to the task of running an nba franchise in first place. Clown show.

 

I wonder if their restraint has to do with their fear of repeating past mistakes with Morey and not wanting to relive those days of swinging big for the fences. I just think they’re extra careful and calculated with all their moves thus far. Maybe too careful for fans taste. I still suspect we will see a big move this summer.

 

To me, not making a big move shouldn’t be a negative referendum on the front office. But not making common sense adjustments should be. Why is KD still on this roster? We brought him in to contend and now it’s yr 2 and we are no where close to contending. That’s fine we aren’t contending, but why is KD still on this team then? That’s a prime example of what I’m talking about. A complete inability to adjust to reality. Like Ime’s complete inability to adjust to his personnel or make in-game adjustments. It sucks.

 

We got rid of the one who was obviously not working out although I admit KD was a mistake.

 

Agree 100% KD was a mistake.

 

it just fascinates me how these supposed NBA fans or Rockets fans are so impatient. They constantly compare us to Spurs and OKC who went through several years of mediocrity or iterations before being real contenders. Not every team who gets a star lottery pick becomes a contender within 4-5 years. Ask Orlando, Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta. Are the Pistons anymore legitimate contenders than the Rockets? Winning over 50 games is a huge accomplishment from where we were just 3 seasons ago and far better than the Silas years. So why don’t we look at it in this light instead of constantly comparing to 2 teams who lucked out — one in a trade and one in a rigged draft. The Knicks draft picks didn’t work out and they built a team from trades and free agency. Same with Cavs.

How many iterations have Minn gone through with Edwards? They finally made a big move after 6 years of trying to find the right pieces and combinations and that team still doesn’t look like a contender. It’s not easy as it looks so let’s dial it back and see what happens next instead of jumping to conclusions and constantly chastising our execs and coaches

 

moving KD is a big move. That’s your best player being moved. And moving him for rookies or lesser players negates the goal of this team which is contending for a championship. It negates what they brought him here for. So any move would need players that can actually play and help this team win. Not potentials. Not developmental players. Not rookie lottery picks. Any talk about moving players would also need an objective analysis of the roster and its performance last season. And Durant wasn’t the issue in why this team didn’t perform better last year

 

No one is talking about Gerssan Rosas. First descendent of Morey’s tree to win a chip. The work he’s done with Minny and now NY should be a reason Les swaps him with Stone.
