Damn, I love this team!

get use to mediocrity also buddy lol

 

Your face is garbage.

 

The team was fun to watch last night.
Until everyone is back 100% and Silas can actually set up permanent rotations I don't see us making the playoffs. We have been pretty inconsistent.
Mainly due to the Harden drama and injuries.

 

Welcome to The 2002-04 Houston Rockets

Rocket River

 

This team sucks lulz.

 

We are making the playoffs. Rox are 3-3 since Harden trade which puts them at 8th spot. Keep in mind Rockets had one of the strongest schedules so far. Next 10 games 8 are sub 0.500 teams so you should see them rise through the rankings.

Rockets aint a joke man. They have a lot of potential.

 

Lol I actually think this team is a lot better than that Yao Francis mess. For one thing we got a lot of young and hungry guys vs old leftovers from Knicks.

 

U r

 

yo mama

 

I watch our team and how much our guys fight every possession then I watch the Nets and see what a "superstar" team is like.

Harden being the same lazy ass defender as always and never dives for loose balls. Stands at half court when he doesn't have the ball.

Kyrie doing the similar superstar **** like being a black hole on offense and lets every guy blow past him on defense.

I used to give Harden a pass because he needs to "carry" the offense but now he's on the Nets, he's still doing the same thing.

I'm glad we made the Nets trade because all signs point towards us getting future lottery picks.

 

Only to give it away to OKC

 

Francis was a 2nd or 3rd year 20-6-6 guy
Yao was a double double maching
Cutinno could fill it up

It had top end but no depth and role players. We have talent comparable to the top end but we also have depth and role players the old squad didnt have...except for backup big men anyway.

 

The Rockets need to commit to the rebuild. I'd have a fire-sale at the deadline:

1. Oladipo ( 1-yr left & could fetch a couple of 1sts. Walks for nothing after this year)
2. Gordon (Could save money on the years left on his deal & get the Rockets a 1st.)
3. Tucker ( 35, 1 year left & maybe a contender throws you a 1st. Or hell I'd take a couple of 2nds. Walks for nothing after this year)
4. S. Brown (1-yr left & & could get the Rockets a 1st. Walks for nothing after this year)
5. House Jr. (It's time. Cat Brain & could get the Rockets a 2nd)
6. Nwaba (1 year left & could get the Rockets a 2nd.Walks for nothing after this year)

You still have Wood as the centerpiece moving forward and if you could deal Wall you're talking serious cap space then, on top of the accumulated draft choices.

 

I'm just glad we don't have to watch Russ.

 

Why will other teams give up picks for players they can get on the open market a couple of months later?

Realistically only Dipo and Tucker will net you assets at the deadline as they are coveted free agents. Nwaba and SBrown are journeymen and wont be worth anything. House and/or Mclemore can maybe get you a protected 2nd ala Porter JR. We would have to pay teams picks to take EG off our hands not receive picks. You have to look at other team perspective if we dont want EG cuz of his inconsistent play why the heck would other teams give a pick to take him off our hands?

Clearing cap for this summer does nothing as there is nobody to spend it on unless you want a repeat of Morey's free agent bonanza when he paid Anderson 18M and EG 16M cuz Bazemore of all people turned him down.

 

Agreed we have to be smart and wait until we can make a solid move. We need to get our next stars by patient.

 

They are exciting.

Teams that think that can contend this year will be interested some of the Rocket ‘ s vets. Contenders make short term moves like that all the time.

Saving Tillman money is always good thing. Cap Room can also net you draft picks in the right situation ( the ability to take on salary from another team). Bottom line, the guys who’s contract is up at season’s end, they’re not coming back and the Rockets shouldn’t let them walk for nothing. I think you’re wrong about EG btw.

 

Yeah not to mention that terrible 2012 draft which Rockets selected Royce White, T Jones and Jeremy Lamb. Can you believe they passed on guys like Jae Crowder, Will Barton and yes the one and only Draymond Green? Hindsight is so much easier I suppose but it illustrates the poor draft decisions by Morey and company in years past. And the guys we did draft and develop (clint, trez) we got rid of. The history of Morey Ball.
