Is this a crazy good roster and potentially fun team? Or am I just crazy?

I'm still pissed off at him, but I'm resigned to House playing for us this season. Assuming he does, he can win me over with his play on the court.

 

It will be probably until reality sets in and half the roster gets injured, then we'll trade Harden and things will start getting bad. That's when you'll realize how crazy you truly were.

 

You cannot say that with certainty, the 2nd and 3rd game were tight with him in rotation and Rockets won handily the first game.

House was the difference and I will never forget that.

 

60%? Lmao no its NOT. How would that be good shape? We would not even make the playoffs.

 

Going to need to trade away 2 of the 3 (EGo, House, Tucker) for upgrades at 3 and 4.

Tucker should be very coveted by contending teams who are always in need of more 3-D specialists. It will not take a pick to move him like it would EGo.

 

When I said people I meant his teammates. Who knows though.

 

Health is a major factor. Luckily Dantoni is out so we won't have to suffer with a 7 man rotation and risk injury to Wall or Boggy Cousin.

 

James Harden playing 200 minutes a game might be thing of the past

Bench players playing 0 minutes might be gone too

strange times

 

i think at this point we'll get productive harden for the start of the season. and if we start off trash, then we'll probably get lazy harden

 

Yes, if it was 2017.....

 

Look, w the way the Lakers are constructed it's next to impossible to envision any team dethroning them. At this point I'd be plenty satisfied w a competitive second tier team that plays an entertaining brand of basketball.

 

Incredibly high ceiling—incredibly low floor.

How cool would it be if Silas was the real deal? That would make the rebuild so much easier.

 

I like the moves for potential.

They played well last season. Small ball had no shot against the Lakers. This has a shot

 

i'm typically one of the first posters to complain here about anything short of rockets excellence. and i agree w/ OP, this roster has great potential and should be given a chance. i wanted this wall move since a month ago for the reasons i stated here -- he finally looks healthy and is a much better fit than russ on both sides of the ball.

and regarding the recurring posts that we have 3 guys coming off achilles, boogie already showed in the finals w/ GS that he recovered from that injury. wall has already been playing competitive ball for 9 months. and Nook has already posted here that nwaba is healthy according to team staff and expected to be part of the rotation.

lastly, our current coaching staff from top to bottom is multiple times more impressive than any during the harden era. i'm looking forward to not getting constantly outcoached and just hoping wilt harden drops 40 to cover that up.

 

Harden, woods, mclemore, Gordon, house, tucker, green. A few solid young’s guys. Wild cards in cousins and wall. I don’t care what anyone tries to say, it could be very interesting.

 

We will see after Harden is moved and what we get in return. I don’t see him finishing this season as a rocket.
Time to move on.

 

Sad, but true.

 

Tucker will cost a pick because of his age.

 

Just trade him for Simmons best package available imo

Not Boston
Not Brooklyn
Not warriors
And so forth and so on
