    I mean I did see somebody calling for Jae'Sean Tate to be waived last night when he had an incredible game. Their logic was "he is stealing shots from Jalen and KPJ". Waived no less. Not even traded. Waived.

    You have to admit though. The team may have an outline with minutes with a trade in mind for later in the season. Reassess what is happening after the trade deadline to see if you still disagree.

    Clutchfans. These are the mean children of the streets up in here. There is no capacity for weakness.

    I agree with this 100%. I understand what the FO is doing, i just wished those guys played better right now. I'm hopeful that this team will look and feel much different after the deadline.

    Yeah, maybe I'm a little bit impatient. And I know that the older guys are all role players that would look better on a vet and competitive team. But I think most of them are playing for stats and to get out of here as soon as they can, and I'm not sure how much they are contributing to help with the development of the youngsters. I also think coach relies on them a little bit too much, which I know is human nature and most other coaches would do the same.

    Differing reasons. Dipo was stat padding and Wall would just get angry and stop passing the ball and just went all ISO Joe play after play. Now what I am seeing is that the offense is simplistic and teams are reading the plays too easily. I am not saying Silas is perfect, but until Nick Nurse is banging down the door to get into the toyota center, we probably shouldn't write off a coach that our players want to play for and also has a stellar reputation around the league.

    I agree the guy is going to need to grow some balls but I would take him over the doug collins/bobby knights of the world anyday. Lets see how his whole positive motivation mantra works out. Frankly he seems to be more of a professional than 90% of the coaches in the league.

    *2 more years + Team Option

    I get it, they wanted more defense than Olynyk/next to Wood but still…not a great signing.

    from tradeline to tradeline rockets are going nowhere for a decade....just for once play the more competent players and it will be most financially viable in the long run

    Nah, Wall and Dipo were both running the exact same **** as KPJ this year, we blamed it on them, they were just running Silas' offense. Go back and watch a game, you're wrong.

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe any offense looks better than the constant iso that pringles allowed. But I will watch closer with that in mind.

    The Jalen Only Fans are rabid.

    Soon more and more people will be wishing for the days of LOFs.

    He's been a plus defender since his rookie until this season..... I feel like it's more of a team issue. It's just fascinating how such an insignificant player (~8 mi per year) draws the ire of so many people. 33 pg thread for Daniel Theis?

    I don't think people have adjusted to the supply chain issue. 8 million dollar Theis is the new 5 million dollar banger pf stiff
