    He's a RFA I don't think we are bringing him back.

    Wall/KPJ/Augustin/Thomas
    Gordon/Green/Christopher
    House/Tate/Martin
    Wood/Wilson/Garuba
    Olynyk/Sengun

    The bench will be fun to watch. Hopefully they can move Wall, Gordon, House and Augustin at the deadline.

    Him and Wood are close. I can see them bringing him back on a minimum contract.

    Lulz. The Rockets didn't draft 2 bigs to resign Olynyk. There is no reason to do anything but tank next year with the young players and a few veterans.

    Lineup to start the year :

    8 man rotation

    Wall Kpj
    Green Gordon
    Kpj Tate
    Tate Garuba
    Wood Sengun

    Lineup of the future once we trade the vets, could take 1-2 years :

    Kpj
    Green
    Tate(or upgrade)
    Garuba
    Sengun

    Wow - so confident?

    What will you do if the Rockets sign a big man other than Garuba or Sengun?

    I like that you think Olynyk is going to lift us out of the cellar.

    You don’t draft a 2nd pick to come off the bench. You absolutely have Gordon come off the bench white green starts. You will shatter his confindense

    Also, Gordon has averaged 32 games played over the past two years. And that's while playing the fewest minutes per game of his career over that stretch. He's fragile and needs to come off the bench and have limited minutes to protect his brittle bones.

    KPJ/Augustin
    Green/S.Brown
    KJM/Nwaba
    Garuba/Tate
    Wood/Sengun

    To start the year. Improve Sengun's lateral quickness and spike his gatorade with HGH, maybe he'll grow a couple inches into the true "Jokic" size and style center everyone is hoping for. Until then, bring him off the bench ala Dmo. You could slide Garuba to the bench and insert Sengun into the starting lineup but ultimately I'm higher on Garuba than I am Sengun and I think early big minutes could help shape Garuba into the Draymond/PJ kind of talent we want quickly. The team remains shallow so we can make a run in the lottery again next offseason & to allocate big minutes to our young players

    Well you can't have both.

    I vote for John Wall collecting his checks from a mysterious location away from the young players.

    I think this is the other lineup with a high likelihood of happening. Should be interesting.

    We didn’t send out any player in return. Wow, this move also hard caps us.

    Where is KMJ? He should be starting ahead of Tate in my opinion. If not, certainly his backup.
