    Agreed.

    KPJ has the potential to shave his hair. For now his hair looks like De’Aaron from his rookie season. :eek::D

    Harden threads celebrate our historic past.

    Porter threads celebrate our hope for the future.

    It's all good.

    Still do not agree.

    Not seeing the urgency, Vipers and Rockets system are the same.

    I guess the Porter call up is to get him some work with the coaches before the restart. I would have preferred him and KMJ have gotten the G-League playoff experience before they came up. However, this could mean Stone has some deals he's about ready to close--at least I hope that's what this move signifies. Start dealing Stony, let's make some trades happen!

    Maybe Stone did not want these young players to think that they had hit their ceiling with the Vipers when your future really involves the Rockets Championship aspirations

    G-League was just a taste

    I do find it odd they would take Porter off the vipers right before the playoffs.. they had a very good chance to winning the whole thing. Oh well

    As far as some of you saying Brooks is to short to be a sg....disagree because him and Porter compliment each other perfectly


    What I would do since porter is a tall pg , on offense Porter is my pg and Brooks is my sg....then .they switch men on defense,I'd have porter guard sg and Brooks guard the smaller pg

    Easy peasy...Porter's passing and height can blend well with brooks shooting and lack of height

    I wanted to see them play in the g league playoffs. Oh well, maybe Stone knows something we don’t.

    I think so. I think we are about to get really young after the all star break.

    Yeah, I guess it didn't do much for Hart. Here's hoping he continues his success on the big stage.

    Eric Gordon is 6'4

    Lou Williams 6'1

    Armoni Brooks 6'3

    Armoni Brooks is a 6th man off the Vipers Bench. Hopefully the Rockets sign him and he provides bench scoring after Oladipo and Gordon, Wall are traded.

    I wanted Kevin Porter Jr. to win a Championship with Motivated Teammates.

    The Rockets Environment is Bad Energy, Spoiled Veterans.

    Wall, Oladipo, Gordon, Tucker, House, McLemore, Kurucs

    Half of Roster needs to be gone.
