You feel that way because you are still stuck in Drive. You think we're gonna beat out Minnesota for the 8th seed. Like that would be a good thing.
When a lot of us attempted to tell some fans that the rockets were in trouble after the utah game a lot of fans said that was just one bad game and rockets would win the next and start another streak...
Guys Scola and Martin are both being shopped..... EVERY PLAYER ON THE ROCKETS ROSTER IS BEING SHOPPED right now as we speak. You have seen enough, imagine how Morey feels... his butt is on the line if he doesn't make a deal soon. Just wait one week and see what happens. I guarantee both of those players will be moved by the draft day next summer. Martin most likely sooner than later since Scola's deal can be amnestied at any point in the lifetime of his deal. Keep that in mind as well people. Scola is actually very low risk. Unless there is a better free agent out there that is ready to sign with Houston and they need the cap space.... whats the point of giving away Scola for nothing? Martin on the other hand will be going into his final year next season, so again I dont really see much risk keeping him here till Morey finds a good deal to move him. Its not like he really takes away that much playing time for the young guys.... Lee usually ends up finishing the game anyways. So the only problem I have here is that NO ONE has beaten out Scola for minutes and put in the time and effort to do so. You know damn well that McHale would love for one of his young bigs like Hill, Patterson, or Morris to bust their butts enough to beat him out for minutes. That would make his team that much better, but no... Scola still is the best option unfortunately.
Lowry is the only starter I want on this team next year, he's the only player I wouldnt shop or even consider dealing. Gladly give up Patterson, Lee as part of a deal for a legit superstar not talking Pau Gasol either. Scola has to be amnestied, Dalembert's option declined, I would trade Martin for a second rd pick right now just to free up all the salary we can. Tank this season. Let's get a lottery pick or two and have close to 35 mil to spend around Lowry, Patterson, Lee and picks.
I wish we were stuck in park, we could be drafting Anthony Davis in the upcoming draft to pair with Kyle Lowry. That would so bring a FA superstar here.
We would have to be worse that New Orleans, Charlotte, Washington etc. to land Davis. If we were that bad, I doubt Kyle Lowry would be on the team to begin with. Yeah, I'm sure superstars are going to be clamoring over the lethal Wall-Davis combo in Washington. Give me a break...
All I know is Chris Paul signed with the Clippers to play with Blake Griffin. If OKC needed a superstar they'd have it. I wouldn't rule out a superstar wanting to join the Pacers or TWolves next.
Thabeet is unbelievably bad. If you watch every game and watched videos of Rockets' practices, you would know this.
