Zach Lowe: Houston keeps surprising me that they are not trying

Henderson is a borderline scrub, you may feel he's decent, but the reality tells a different story

 

…did you also forget he took that same team to the Finals in the year he was head coach? Not arguing for Udoka - but that’s pretty important missing context to your point - but I guess if you are only willing to remember the things that prove your point, then you will always have all the evidence you need to prove your point huh?

 

...a team that got better after he left especially since it meant they got to dump Ime's favorite scrub, Marcus Smart.

 

it is my understanding that we are angling for trey in a trade
not jb

 

What does Ime do well as a coach? He wins more games than he loses. That is a fact. As such, he is not a bottom 5 coach.

You provide no facts.

Can the Rockets do better? Maybe. Who is your choice of candidates that are available that is worth dumping Tillman's $ of 4 years left on Ime's contract that is going to be an no brainer upgrade?

 

I'd give up a ton for TMIII. A ton.

 

Trey Murphy? I like that angle...

 

What does HE do well that leads to those winz?

Is it the clapping and telling people to play harder?

Just saying "Ime just winz" is a 45 IQ Skip Bayless style take. Try to be better than that.

 

Amen-Trey-KD-Jabari-Sengun would be pretty tough.

 

lol... Very close to Ime's preferred 5 forward lineup... especially if you consider Sengun a 4... I think it would be Jabari or Tari going out if the Rockets ever traded for TMIII.

 

Yeah. I like him, but I thing Rui would be a better hire at way less cost. We’d have to free up cap space to sign Rui, but we would preserve all our draft assets for moves that have a higher beta. Rui’s actually a better three point shooter and defender.

 

Lakers are having a horrific offseason even if they’re still a better team than the Rockets

 

Is this insider information or your hunch?

 

Trade Tari and a couple of lightly protected 1sts and three seconds for Trey III.

 

I think Trey would be a much better acquisition that Jaylen Brown. Much better contract, better shooter, younger. Fits our team better because he’s a true spacer. We’d still have to figure out point guard and rim protector, but Trey would go a long ways towards addressing our shooting deficiency. Would rather start churning through some of our talent in a trade package than give up a ton of draft pick assets, but obviously it’s worth including some draft equity to get him.

 

Brown to 76’ers for Paul George done deal.

 

not trying AT ALL

these marginal moves can’t be our offseason…it just can’t

 

Stone letting Jaylen Brown set the market for Trey Murphy III was pure genius. Now it’s just time to close the deal.
