    I do think it could help Phoenix at least in the reg season. JG was very durable, played most of the season (every game maybe?), and over the course fo the entire season, improved on his overall consistency. his effort level on d improved and overall IQ and awareness also increased. Remember in Jan/Feb we were all wondering, uh... is this now consistent? will he have another up/down or is he going to continue? All the way to the end of the season, he was very solidly good. Brooks shot the 3s extremely well and some of our signature wins during the season (Celtics at Boston) was because of his contributions. His leadership and willing to get in the mix for his players will be missed. That's needed to get pressure off of people. Dillon being there will put some pressure off of Booker from toughness/intangibles standpoint. They also add depth with 10th pick, etc.

    It was time for Jalen to go. The organization was patient with him and even rewarded him with a contract that he didn't deserve based on his potential.

    Even if he somehow goes on to another team to reach his potential, it doesn't matter because he lost the fanbase.

    Safe travels to Jalen and his 40 year old baby mama.

    This is beyond stupid. Did any of those morons in the front office even bother to look at the playoffs this year. In what f*cking universe does adding a 37 year malcontent elevate this team to the level of OKC, Minny, Indy or even the Spurs??? Oh and you get to pay $54m for your buffoonery. If I'm the Spurs I'm laughing my ass off at the Rockets right now.

    Let’s go sign Ty Jerome and call it a day

    Fred / Reed
    Amen / Jerome
    KD / Cam
    Jabari / Tari
    Sengun / Adams

    let’s get it

    That length is insane and that is with Adams off the bench. As miserable as we made it for teams to operate last year, this is a whole other level of

    if you're gonna play big lineup, you put KD at the 2 not Jabari at 2. Jabari should be the SF.

    If Cam steps up and contributes meaningful minutes to winning, that's another level up from depth perspective

    Ary Report: Minnesota
    Gambo: No Jabari, there won’t be a deal with Rockets
    Amick: Suns/Rockets stopped talking

    Shams: Rockets/Heat
    Fischer: Rockets deeply involved, where he wants to be

    Rest In Piss fake insiders. You won’t be missed. :D

    When we properly load manage our 37 year old megastar. Cam can have full run when we give Durant 20 games off because we are up 30 games.

    I don't like it. At all.

    Hope you get the right 60 games a year out of him.
