    Would have loved this gamble for the Rockets but oh well.

    Whiteside should be a cheap FA add.

    Not to get too deep into it, because it can get a little confusing (and I'm no expert), but Wall's contract does still count against our cap. We are still over the cap. Most teams that are over the cap get an exception to allow them a little extra room. It is worth $10.3 million, so that is what the Rockets can spend on free agents this year, if they so choose.

    not even sure why people even care to sign some mediocre/bottom barrel C. That just happened with Theis which was dumb from day 1. They literally have Boban here that can happily stay glued to the bench or come in for spot minutes

    Agree about the type to target next year
    Are you a fan of Dariq Whitehead?
    He's caught my eye early

    Yes, the only thing I don't like is his 6'5" height. But he is a high leaper
    of head near the rim. I just don't think the Rockets will be in top 5 to
    get him.

    It's not much different than my request for Ivey next to Green and Porter
    moved to SF. Whitehead is about as tall and athletic as Porter. So I'm
    not against drafting him. 6'9" wingspan.

    Feigen clearly stated that the Rockets have shifted their "attention" to centers. It doesn't mean we're actually signing one lol

    Stone is still plastered drinking after celebrating the Brooklyn Nets meltdown and what it means for our franchise in the coming years

    I actually hope we stay put now with Hartenstein and Bamba off the market. We need to play our young guys - and between Sengun, Smith, Eason and Boban I think we can have enough bodys at the 5 (Eason and Smith would be small ball line ups of course but both should be able to hold their own against most centers).

    Would love to see Montrezl Harrell's return. Always liked his motor.

    Man if we didn't get Harty or Mo Bamba I was hoping for Javale M. as a backup plan but he's gone too.

    I thought Neemias Queta had potential when he came out but I haven't followed him since.
    Wonder if Ibaka has anything left in the tank?
    We wouldn't need him for more than around 10 minutes a game unless Alpie is in foul trouble.

    If we trade EG to philly I'd ask for Bassey to be thrown in as part of any trade.
    Could we see the "return of Bruno"? lol

    We just need someone who can wear down other big men until Smith is strong enough to hold his own. Our new draft pick is 6-10 and probably still growing since he is only 19. He will probably be playing alot of Center. Just need a decent vet rental to play some minutes and help with some guidance.
