    Zeller AND Ben Simmons. Stone is going to great lengths to spoil Rockets fans.

    The Rockets love players that can’t shoot

    He still looked like a very pesky defender when we played him recently.

    He is going to Cleveland. He doesn’t want to play center min here. I was hopeful that we would trade for someone and was disappointed. I’m not getting my hopes up for the buyout market.

    Amen Thompson is the Rockets starting small forward with Jabari Smith Jr coming off the bench once he returns from his injury. Aaron Holiday is the Rockets backup point guard because Reed Sheppard isn’t ready to run an NBA offense. Ben Simmons is an upgrade on Aaron Holiday.

    Because people get better from back injuries all the time.

    **** me, we’re quickly turning into a joke. White centers who cannot play and a dinghole who cannot shoot.

    This 100%. Get that boy on the cheap as a backup is actually amazing.

    He is still 28yrs old. Crazy how that pass off in the playoffs derailed his entire career.

    Think it was more his back injury + mental blocks regarding shooting.

    I can envision Udoka seeing Simmons' work ethic.

    3rd in the West, with a bunch of good young talent that has been growing.

    I understand that it sucks to be on a 4 game losing streak and losing so many close games. It can play games on your mind, but lets cool it down just a hair as if Zeller and potentially Simmons are going to play real minutes for the Rockets. Our rotation is pretty much set and the rumors out there were absolutely true, Stone/Ime are content with the team and want to let them get a taste of the playoffs and see what happens there.
