Rockets can get to another level with one roster tweak

EGO'S contract really isn't bad at all. To a team like ours in rebuild mode it doesn't make sense, but to a contender it's kinda a great deal.

 

If we could tweak it and get that bearded guard from the Nets. Is very good and he seems to never get hurt.

 

lol hes never hurt but always plays like he is...and occasionaly hell give you a couple of concussion games at the most inopportune times

 

Give me Tyler Herro and I’ll show you the 6th seed

 

Let it go sister.

 

Those contracts are two of the best in the league, no need to include a first? If anything, we'd be more likely to get a late 1st for them, although that is probably too much. 1sts are used to dump people making 40 million like John Wall, not people making 3 or 4 million.

 

all these dumb threads made in January and early February are just embarrassing

people really thought this team was good or had potential...LMAO

1 of the funniest is the “put the tanks away, this is a playoff team” thread...DELUSIONAL

 

But there really was another level. Damn.

 

A lower level.

 

The delusion was that this team was good enough to compete so Harden should have stayed. Saying it could have snagged the 8 seed or play-in spots wasn’t delusional. The shooting and offense would always be a struggle but Wall, Oladipo and Nwaba is a pretty elite point of attack defense and Wood was improving every game as a drop defender.

The WOW trio looked great together and then they all fell apart with injuries. It’s still inconclusive. I don’t see how anybody can say ‘see we just lost 15 in a row, you were delusional!’ When we have gone from that to Sterling Brown and Justin Patton starting. It’s a different team.

 

this squad healthy would’ve been the 12th seed IMO

 

I figured out the one roster tweak that could save the Rockets

Wall/ Oladipo/ Gordon/ Tucker/ McLemore/ Kurucs/ Exum

Traded for

Harden/ Durant/ Harris/ Claxton/ Green

I know the Rockets are giving up more players in this scenario, so they might need compensation like a draft pick also from BKN. Maybe add another on.

BKN will totally go for this because they are getting more players.


Houston line up after the "one tweak to save them all"

PG Harden/ KPJr/ Jones
SG House/ Nwaba/ Brown
C Wood/ Claxton/ Green/ Patton
PF Durant/ Tucker/
SF Harris/ Tate / KJMJr/

I know this is a bit unrealistic because House is starting at SG (I'm not an idiot). But it is a move that could make us a contender, and imagine how bad the Nets picks could get if all the players we trade them get injured.
Totally risky giving up so many players without the Neta sacrificing picks. So maybe Houston shouldn't do it?

Serious thoughts??

 

LOL. You can't be serious. Have you seen YouTube? Swapping Wall for Harden would crumble our defense.

 

We had one of the easiest schedules in the league during that win streak you goof ball. You’re point was always a stupid one.why did not having PJ not help us the last two games??? We still got blown out by 30. Woods is not gonna come back and make everything better.

You’re right about the easy schedule but mediocre teams drop games against bad teams. One big indicator of a great team is consistency against the dregs of the league. I’m not arguing that this was a contender, but if we assume no injuries to any of our starters, I believe this current roster was for sure a playoff team, and I don’t think that’s outrageous or laughable to claim.
