The answer to your question is that the Rockets haven't really decided who to build around yet. Perhaps this season has solidified the pecking...
Improvments are much harder at the top. There are a lot more players each year going from bad to good. Few go from good to great. And maybe one or...
Yes, I was indeed talking about marginal improvements of a good team vs. a mediocre or a bad team. But there's also the factor that other teams...
I feel all the fans who say this don't actually look at the NBA, but only the Rockets in general, and have this video game notion of player/team...
I look forward to the day when clutchfans debate whether Robert Horry was a better player than Hakeem.
I've always been of the opinion that in an ideal world where Jalen doesn't massively improve, he would do best coming off the bench long. But as...
Trading Sengun for Giannis has the same 2 non-shooter issues. So that doesn't really work for Jalen. Given the fact that there are so few shooting...
The way you're putting it, the Rockets will have to trade one of Sengun/Amen/Jalen then. If so, who are you proposing the Rocket trade away?
The Bulls got their pick back from the Spurs in the Lavine trade. They can absolutely go for it and still have their 1st. But I do agree with so...
Ideally, the Rockets shouldn't even bring FVV back next year. Amen should be the starting PG and Reed should be the backup. And then they can sign...
Even if the Rockets beat the Bulls in 95, it would still be an asterisk because Jordan came back in the middle of the season. But obviously if...
I mean many people here are basically trying to explain something along the lines of of Kenny Smith was better than Kevin Johnson because hey, the...
Don't know about Stone, but if FVV is asking for $30+mil for multiple years, I'd rather just let him go.
Yes, you're right. If the Rockets sacrifice getting any good players in the offseason in order to keep all their filler salaries, then they won't...
The Rockets aren't hitting the 1st apron with full MLE player and FVV on a contract in the $20~25mil range. I was actually calculating based on...
If the Rockets don't re-sign FVV, then they can just keep/re-sign their fillers like Adams, Holiday, Landale for S&T reasons. If they keep FVV...
I'm not saying I agree with this. But let's suppose everything you say is correct, and that regular season matters very little to development...
This is a classic case of do you care about development or winning? Amen being the primary ball handler is sub-optimal for winning, but PG duties...
If FVV is a winning player, then Harden was a super-duper winning player. If Rockets fans can constantly criticize Harden for being a loser after...
Where is all this FVV being a winning player coming from? In the Raptors championship season, FVV was a generic role player who scored 8 points on...
