    So after the Cam news. We still need a couple of SGs. I’m thinking Malcom Brogdon . Who do y’all think?

    Brogdon is who I want. Smart playmaker, good shooter, played under Ime before, and should be okay with a limited role due to his injury history.

    Rockets can’t add anybody without goung over hard cap. Enjoy the Jeenethan Williams gunner show. This trade will haunt the Rockets and hurt our seeding!

    Why are some here under the impression we can still add Malcom Brogdan?

    If he will play for 3.5M it is possible. I think he’s worth more than that.

    For what? Made shots from KD, Reed, and Bari offsets bringing in a natural SG just for the sake of having one.. One of those 3 should be on the floor at all times..

    As insurance for Reed or an FVV injury. Next man up would be Holiday who sucks.

    Not gonna happen, this trade was so Tilman wouldn't have to pay the luxury tax. We gave up Cam for cash considerations.
    Only vet mins and 2-ways moving forward into the season.

    People like Brogdon, whom CF loves for some reason, might still be available if that happens.. He's not a difference maker any longer to where he gets a multi year deal I'm guessing

    We are still over the luxury tax. We are now 4.5 from the 1st Apron. Without a trade before the luxury tax deadline we will be a tax paying team.

    But maybe he is ready to ring chase! Rockets should be able to load up on over the hill has beens for the next few years

    I’ve wanted Brogdon for 2 years. I hope we get him unless somebody better gets bought out and wants to ring chase. The only thing I’m really certain of is that we stay under the 1st apron.

    A Vet minimum should be more than enough to find a guy who can play 8-12 spot minutes here and there. An Alec Burks, Caleb Martin, Landry Shamet type. Brogdon or Melton probably will get a piece of a MLE somewhere

    Nah Jabari is 6'10 we need size at PF. DFS is better as the new terror twin alongside Tari.

    I think we need at least one true shooting guard. Amen is a point forward. Fred is a backup point. The other guys that can shoot are undersized at the 2 spot. I still think we can make it work with what we have tho.
