    I would look to trade Theiss, Gordon, NWaba, and Tate.

    Play the young guys and evaluate them.

    KPJ
    Green
    Wood
    Sengun
    KMJ
    House
    Brooks
    Garuba
    Augustine
    Christopher

    Theis is not good enough, and Garuba is way more ahtletic
    Gordon is our best NBA player right now, so should be able to get something decent for him.
    NWaba is a decent role player, same for Tate - should package and trade.

    We don't need role players, we need to find players that can play.....

    Well it was a butterfly effect. Rockets had to maximize Russ. it almost worked until Russ got hurt.

    nobody can tell me if Lebron didn't snitch on House in the bubble, the Rockets would have beat the Lakers. I dont care, lol

    It's happening right now. I thought Green was suppose to be more NBA ready and Mobley the least NBA ready.

    Seems like Mobley gonna be really good real fast.

    Green shows good signs but just not there yet

    Silas is not even a clap clap play harder coach. He's just there smiling and watching.

    I know this is about as premature as things get, but I don't see how, assuming things continue, you don't at least consider moving Wood at the deadline or the offseason.

    We’re on to Oklahoma City Brian.

    Texans thread would have been 5 pages Brian. Rockets fans are very passionate. Need them to come out Friday and show that same energy Brian. Help expedite player development because that’s not my job Brian!

    Shaw seems to be a better coach than Silas (Surprise) because he had Green coming off of screens. Silas just has him one on one. Im willing to bet Cleveland has a better system around Mobley but I havent watched. He's probably doing pick and roll with sexton a lot.

    Do we trust the Rockets development capabilities? Are guys gonna reach their full potential here?

    look at Jordan Poole in GS…totally night and day seeing him now

    Wolves are a trash organization, but Edwards is getting better by the month

    Maximize Russ lol nice talking point you got there has no bearing on reality. it worked for a few games and went to **** when Tuckers old ass got tired. We got chopped up because we didnt have a center and the fact that some people still dont understand that makes me kinda want to drink LMAO Havent had a drink in ten years lol

    If you trade tate n nwaba, why wouldn't you trade wood? Wood does not fit this team timeline

    One positive that I saw with Green this game is that when he has the ball he is being a bit more patient and letting the play develop before making a decision.

    In previous games, it seemed like he had already predetermined what he wanted to do and didn't really bother reading the defense much.

    I think that's a big reason why he had 0 turnovers and 4 assists tonight.
