How will the Rox finish the year?

  1. Tanking and trying to see how low we can go... that swap is top 4 protected...

  2. Mediocrity - miss the playoffs but not bad enough to have a real shot at a top pick...

    90 vote(s)
    42.9%
  3. Sneak into the playoffs and a 1st rd exit...

    62 vote(s)
    29.5%
  4. A couple more moves and we can contend! Maybe not a chip but we're in the mix...

    LT savings and Picks can probably play better D than this squad.

    Take your chances with the lotto. Imagine hitting that #1 pick. Cade Cunningham would be a hell of a consolation prize.

    Honestly, I think he just had a SPAC IPO for the boat.

    People are pretty surprised when I say this:

    I don't smoke weed. Not really. It's all natural positive thinking but rest assured that if I had some I'd share it with you.

    All of you voting for tank are not true Rockets fans. That will be unbearable.

    I hope we tank.

    I voted for tank.

    But mediocrity is more likely.

    I don't mind the 1 season with this team though.
    They're are some pretty good players there.
    But all our players are so injury prone. Plus add in Covid. Not sure we will have a full squad for many games.

    Gordon needs to be traded for a combo guard though of possible.

    Him & Oladipo just take up the same space.
    I'd love Justice Winslow & Anderson for Gordon & House.

    Wonder if Grizz would consider it

    Rockets forecast is choppy, but aboard the SS Luxury Tax Savings?

    It's smooth sailing as far as the eye can see

    idk... its intended more as a prediction... so picking tanking could be viewed as an anticipation of mgmts actions...

    jus sayin... lol

    Let Wall continue to prove he is healthy and functional, see if there are landing spots at the deadline for both he and Oladipo.

    I predict lots of fun.

    We might not be contenders but I'm hoping for something akin to the Adelman years.

    With what we have right now and if everything goes right we might finish 9th or 10th.

    What should and probably will happen is more moves to make us worse for more draft assets.

    Why are we trying to get rid of Wall if he is playing well?

    For cap space and picks. And a full tank. We can get a top 4 pick if we are bad enough. No one should be off limits.
