    Too many here thought this team was play in bound after last years draft. Young guys need time and some more than others. FVV will help shorten Amen's and Ty Ty's curve. Ime we trust.

    Probably not. Just bc we’re going back to “trying to win” doesn’t mean we’re there yet. This is still a multi-year plan….like it or not. This should definitely help move the needle, but I wouldn’t plan any parades for a few more years.

    LOL..... making up wild expectations so they will fail and starting a thread about it because you are mad at the moves the Rockets have made....

    That's what is happening here right?

    No shot, not even close. We will probably add more players, but with the roster you listed, we would be an easy lottery team.

    Shouldn't the first goal be to be .500?

    FVV even could not bring the Raptors to playoffs last season.

    Nah, I'd be happy if we pull off 35 wins with green or sengun showing real growth in their boneheaded deficiencies. Maybe locksmith matures emotionally for me to trust hes putting work into his rawness while upping his FG% to what people were expecting as a projected No.1 pick....

    FVV does not make us a playoff team but does improve our record. I'm counting more on internal growth like KD's 3rd year when they made the playoffs after the previous 2 seasons of sucking.

    Yikes. Some people setting themselves up for major disappointment this season.

    They didn't sign him to make the playoffs they signed him because they needed to spend money.

    Just breath, and say to yourself over and over again.

    This means no more Kevin Porter Jr at the point guard position. Say it with me now, trust me, you'll have a smile on your face grinning ear to ear in almost no time. KEVIN. PORTER. JR. AT. THE. POINT. GUARD. POSITION. IS. NEVER. HAPPENING. AGAIN.

    I hope some aren't thinking playoffs with a signing of FVV even if we get another vet

    It depends on our young guys growth. I believe Jabari will make a big leap forward so hopefully.
