    Can all the Green meat-riders F*#& off already?

    They made this website absolutely unbearable since he was drafted. And you want to continue making it unbearable for the rest of us? Why?

    Get over it. Green meat-riders were wrong, as most of us with two eyes and brain have been saying for almost 5 years.

    Sign Bradley Beal and this will be an offseason to remember.

    The move that gave me the biggest concern was giving Jabari the contract extension...I wish we could've let Jabari and Cam compete for that last starting spot, but it didn't happen...I suspect if we underachieve (failing to advance to the WCF), Jabari will be part of a bigger trade package next summer...

    The Rockets traded two guys who have a 0.5% chance of becoming a boat, for a yacht in KD.

    There is a 0.0% chance of either of those guys becoming a yacht, let alone a boat.

    So if Jabari was gonna be part of a trade package as a backup insurance in case things dont work out why is signing Jabari a concern? You rather lose him for nothing? lol

    Lol okay fanboy...I like Cam's potential, but let's not forget we got the #2 seed without him in our rotation. Personally, I would've let him compete this summer for a rotation spot, but our basketball ops got enough scouting on him to see trading him away wont affect us from being "elite contenders".
    This point-per-minute take is very skewed...Cam was getting minutes early in the season, but when his shot wasn't falling what other value did he bring to the team???
    Honestly, I like Jabari coming off the bench as our 6th man for he can do so many other things to impact the game - it could've worked with Cam in the starting lineup to get him rhythm in shooting because he's streaky as well like Jalen Green, but like I said the coaches are working with the players more than we watch them on TV so please take your feelings out when making a statement of "our offseason is ruined".
    Okay, I'm done rattling on with the fanboys...given that our roster stay healthy this year, the Rockets are TRUE CONTENDERS

    Jabari would've been a restrictive free agent next summer so we still had control if we wanted to keep him or let another team overpay him.
    By the way, Sengun + Jabari salaries together for 26-27 season will combine for $59M
    Giannis will be paid $62M...I think Stone is planning to make a move on Giannis next season if we have another 1st round playoffs exit.

    Those meat riders must be in love with Jalen & Cam on NBA 2K because I just can't understand why most fans on here can't see we dramatically improved our team:
    KD > Jalen Green
    DFS is same tier as Dillon Brooks
    Amen will get full season of starter minutes
    Tari Eason will have a full offseason to improve (last offseason was rehab for surgery)
    Capela > Jock Landale
    Reed Sheppard will finally become Cocaine Curry
    LFG!!!!
