Well it was fun while you were here guys. At least we replaced all your 1st round picks with a couple of future seconds and a very nice trade exception for our rival Grizzlies. I won’t mention Alpha Phupa out of respect to his family.
Im gonna miss Destiny. I saw the talent. hair line was pushed back and had clear skin I thought he was 29. gonna miss TyTy's low energy highlights had the most low energy 53 point game I have ever seen! KJ worked so hard on his game. I remember when he first got drafted people were saying he would never know how to shoot I will never forgive Silas for playing Gary instead of Gup. Gup had a whole fashion line at Toyota Center and Silas benched him.. what a ho.
Garuba is the one that got away. He made a difference on court and good things organically happened when he played. He was a steal in the draft, then was Silassed for 2 seasons. He NEVER got a chance as a Rocket. No rhythm at all to his usage, when he got it. I wish him only the best
I thought Ime would be able to utilize Garuba creatively due to his strong defensive skills, ability to pass, and improving 3 pt shot. He will be missed.
Ironically we got a less athletic worse shooting Brooks for KJM - we are going to miss his off ball movement and 3pth shooting. Granted Brooks is better on D, but defense is easy to teach, it just takes effort and accountability, one of the weaknesses on coaches is sometimes they look for themselves in players too much and OVER VALUE that contribution. IMHO, that is Dillon brooks and Ime Udoka - both decent role players, but nothing more, IME to be a GREAT coach will need to learn to lean on the GREAT players as role players like himself are much easier to find. DD
They were dump WITH peanuts. We had to attach future draft picks and cash just to dump them. While the price wasn't very much, it still got my head shaking.
Brooks didn't replace Martin. Whitmore replaced Martin. Period. Brooks is just an overpaid defensive specialist who got a butt load of money cause Rockets had money to spend and we're desperate. Whitmore is going to outperform Martin over their careers. He's a dog.
