Choose your own adventure: Which star should the Rockets acquire, or none of them?

lol forgot all about that guy. Feel like he would be better in todays nba.

 

Would be estatic to nab Maxey. Unfortunatley, do not see a path forward. Maxey is what 24 years old just entering the beginning of his prime yet still young enough to be a foundational building block.

Weather Morey decides to rebuild or try to contend (crazy) Maxey would most likely be a big part of this. Maybe if you overpay for Maxey. Additional pick(s) to push Morey to rebuild without Maxey, but Morey has never been big on building through the draft.

If McCain looks like a star and to a lesser extent Grimes continues to play strong than maybe Maxey becomes available? In this scenerio, what would you be willing to offer? Lonzo Ball seems more likely. CHA is going no where with him and they could pivot and build around the wing they picked in the Amen draft.

 

I wonder if it’s possible for us to trade him or someone like him like Trae while also trading for KD.

The rockets need to find a way to keep their young shooters out of trades. (Cam, Reed, Jabari) continue developing them. Trade the vets (Fred, Dillon, etc, maybe Tari)and Jalen.

 

The only guys on your list I would consider: Giannis, Booker and/or KD.
Obviously depends on the cost of getting it done.

 

I’d settle for this Rockets legend

Spoiler

 

None of these seem good.

Championship teams usually develop a star in-house and not deplete a roster to acquire an aging one.

The only trades they should entertain are ones centered around Green for a good return or Sengun for a great return.

 

If we get a Durant or not, we should load manage all 15 back to back games

 

Booker because I consider him the best shooter, especially outside shooter, of this group outside of KD, who doesn't fit, and maybe Young, who is a foul-baiting undersized marshmallow.

 

The smartest thing to do is run it back. These trades are not worth losing key players that lead you to be a 2nd seed team in the west. So Curry got the best of the rockets, next year it might be different.

Rockets need to maybe get go draft at #10 and maybe retool a bit with the roster this summer. If it cost Jalen or Cam so be it, they need some shooters in free Agency.

 

If you take this team as is and put a 28 year old Lou Williams on the team in Jalen Green's spot I think it's a championship contender. All we're missing is a real bucket getter.

 

LOL rockets actually get worse

then just trade green for booker

 

That is a question for Grok .....

 

I'd shoot the moon for Giannis... when u get an opportunity for a proven superstar, u take it!

I am a bargain shopper... so KD or Levine for the right price would be my next play... if i can upscale our rotation for 1 secondary guy, maybe a non rotational piece and a bit of draft capital... i'd consider it greatly. I also dont think this move would be as much a chemistry concern as bringing in any of the guys from the next tier...

Booker, Morant and Young,,, i'd certainly have the talk - but prob balk at the price.... but maybe depending on the pieces in play...

I'll pass on LaMelo if he's in the 'significant' tier...

The C's can keep the Brown contract....


I think running it back is just wasting a year... our deficiencies are evident... but making a bad move could be detrimental beyond 1 year...

 

Can we trade for Bane and JJJ instead of Ja?

 

If we don’t get spacing no one will work in this mid evil times offense -

need a PG that can create and is a threat when they get into paint unlike FVV … If I could pair Booker up with JG then I would be fine with him

I’m not trading my SG who played 82 games and a 2nd seed in west for players who can’t get to 70 games these past 3 years … so bye bye JA Trae Lamelo

Amen has made Brooks a bench guy or trade piece … if Giannis is the trade then Alpi goes and you let him and Amen rebound and push pace down teams throat … Bari as small ball C and Adams when we need to go big

Bring home Grimes and get Beasley as a backup SG and run with that

 

lol. Poor man’s Tobias Harris. He looked the part and acted the part, but never seemed to get it done when it mattered.

 

Dylan Harper.

Trade #10, Tari Eason and Phoenix 2027 unprotected for #3 (Spurs pass)

Opens up additional minutes for Jabari. Acquire a potential #1 option. Still have FVV /Brooks/ Sheppard/ Green/ Jabari/Whitmore and a few picks to swing a deal for another star level player (maybe KD would make the most sense at this point) while giving everyone a new look chance to show value.


FVV/Harper
Green/Sheppard
Amen /Whitmore
Jabari / /Brooks
Sengun

 

You give me KD & Ty Jerome this off season I’ll cream my pants

Amen / Reed
Green / Jerome
Durant / Cam
Jabari / Brooks
Sengun / Adams

Feel like this is a actual possible roster with all the minutes for Reed & Cam

 

Maxey 6'2 vs 6'6 SGA
