The Rockets can withstand staying pat as long as Kawhi doesn’t go to the Lakers. Kawhi/Lebron/AD will be a beast. I don’t even need to know how the rest of the roster fills out.
well it's not just about breaks, they also squandered a big chunk of assets and avenues to get better in exchange for LTS
I agree with this post. No point blowing it up for butler. However I think if he does go to the Lakers then butler wont help us anyways so we still better off staying pat. Until I know what the rest of the roster would look like I think we are better off without Butler. Also if Kawhi goes to Lakers no point of watching basketball anymore. 3 top 10 or even top 5 talents on 1 team. Some might argue they (Lebron, AD, Kawhi) are the top 3 players in the league. I dont think so but still. Cant compete with that. At least GSW only had length in KD really. Lakers would have length at all 3 of their top 3 players.
Add to that the Anderson signing, Capela's surprising regression and Paul going off a cliff in year one (not even 60 RS games this year). It's possible that without #13 that this team might not even be playoff caliber.
Agreed. Conley is somewhat injury prone himself. But yea....Leonard/Davis/James is significantly better than anything the Rockets can field, especially if Butler is truly Miami-bound.
