Rockets are done. After embarrassing loss in playoffs again and again, they hardly made any good moves to be better.
I am softening my stance on signing Smart. He is slighty better than Okogie and way better than Udoka ever was.
Yeah objectively they are what at best 5th best team in the West and could drop depending on what LA and Portland do. Smart will not help at all. They will still be at best 5th in the West. Thunder Spurs TWolves Nuggets
It seems like they want to cut back on turnovers and don't trust Reed. Is FVV still not healthy? If the determination is they want/need to add a PG then go get one. What is Marcus Smart?
Marcus Smart is the NBA equivalent of that old Saltgrass Steakhouse on 59 that's flooded a bunch of times but somehow remains.
Even if he is, he’s not enough better to make any difference whatsoever. It’s basically a pointless move.
I can't see them keeping Fred if they are bringing in Smart .... it just doesn't make sense. Smart and nothing else doesn't move the needle. Signing Smart and moving FVV for an upgrade makes sense. Who's available? There are plenty of ways to make the money work from <$25m all the way up to a max deal.
Because other teams want those players. It is a lot easier to get old guys that get hurt and are slowing down.
That and we have a coach that doesn't want any players who are even a little bit competent at shooting a basketball.
I’m now leaning into the idea that stonedoka is wayyyyyy ahead of the next curve of basketball… ALL D NO SHOTS necessary. Bag every other chick on a rebound = Success.
