    Title contender as in top 3 team in West?

    That's what Rockets were last season and season before.

    I am hoping for better.

    Rockets need another 65+ win season, best record in West and/or most efficient offense in NBA history.

    Only need another player or 2.

    In terms of picks I agree, but not crazy about their players. Will need to expand trade and add other teams.

    You’re in your 30s (probably older than the reported 31), losing your athleticism and have had injuries recently.
    You passing on an extra possible $10M if not more for a contract you can probably sign again next year to play with this?
    We gotta keep it realistic. We aren’t primed for sign and trades.

    If the Hornets are dumb enough to give us the third pick along with Graham and Zeller bring in a third team and fillip that team the third for a star. Derozan for Gordon/House and the third pick to San Antonio? Then sign Serge .


    Grahm
    Harden
    Derozan
    Covington
    Serge
    Or use Graham off the bench as a 6th man

    Harden
    Derozan
    Covington
    Tucker
    Serge

    Dude is a legit 25 a night scorer . Sure he can’t shoot the three but he has a great mid range and a post up game. He can play the two and the three spot.

    No need sign and trade if you clear EGo's salary.

    Stone has to prove he is as legendary a negotiator and deal maker as Morey, which he assured us was the case.

    His famous line is that nothing will change except they'll miss Morey's personality.

    Wait so I'm supposed to believe that someone who bought a ps5 but can't afford any games is directly texting Jeff Van Gundy? Where's my respect
