[Clutch Tweet] Rockets insider: change coming, need players with more upside

I was reading a Bucks board the other day and I'd say most of their fans would rather trade Bogut. 60-40 70-30 ish.

 

Nene and Smith for hill and brooks?

 

there has gotta be a reason why the knicks want to give up anthony randolph so easily. maybe he really is just all hype????

 

SeriouslY? Jenning ain't that good. Bogut's only problem is his health, if he's healthy he's practically the 2nd best center in the league. Gives you amazing D, average boards, and above average offense, combined with his high b-ball IQ guys like him are much harder to find than hot-shot pgs, which seem to be all the rage nowadays.

 

Randolph is interesting. We need length and athleticism in the worst way. I don't know how you measure his attitude or basketball IQ-- if we get him, we can hope the fresh start and our vets and coaches will bring the best out of him. If he's available for a reasonable cost, I hope we'll give him a shot.

 

Oh I agree, but it seemed like some Bucks were a little down on him.

He'll need to undergo sugery again on his arm in the off-season, so that might be a factor.

 

Bogut has certainly looked one-armed this year. Hope he'll get that limb fixed. Even with one arm, he kicked our azz.

 

I smell a Battier trade.

Clutchfans would understand and approve, but your casual fan would be terribly pissed.

Rockets need word to leak out that this team isn't good enough, manage the message that this is painful but necessary.

 

oh, I think we've gotten the message out quite clear.

 

We have tons of players with no upside. Yao, Battier, Scola, Hayes, Miller, and maybe even Martin and Brooks.

 

trade away everyone
score big in the lottery
profit ... in 2013

Mediocrity in a non-'destination' NBA team is like being stuck in Groundhog Day.

 

i'm not sure the Rockets have a bunch of casual fans right now. if you're still with them, you're probably pretty committed.

 

rep this guy! That is the way i feel as well. There are some days I think, man scola, martin, lowry look good; if we can just add a couple of impact players, we are a contender. then i think about it and realize that there is no way to get those two impact players without giving up an impact player. We are still not close enough to aquiring the pieces we need to be great. It's time to rebuild.

 

Bogut or Nene would be awesome.

 

i watched nhl hockey and college basketball last night over the rockets.

 

Hassen Whiteslide or Anthony Randolph anyone?

 

Thabeet/Miller?... you must be joking.

 

There are but two players I wouldn't trade: Lowry and Patterson.

 

You have to remember that most fans are dumb.

 

funny how all this team need is hight. not saying thabeet is the answer, but if he comes cheap, why not? again cheap
