    If anything give a cheap deal to a veteran? Don’t need anymore young guys trying to prove it vs other young guys.

    I thought Robinson was supposed to re-sign.

    Bryant might be a good place to take a gamble. He can't stay healthy, so maybe offer him a 1 year deal to try to prove himself, or multiple years non-guaranteed. No real skin off our back if he doesn't work out.

    Kai Sotto will NOT be signed by an NBA team. Please stop! Maybe follow the CBA (Chinese league) or NBL (Australian league) if you want to watch him play.

    I don't really know a lot about salary cap and stuff, so can anyone tell me how much the Rockets can offer FAs for this upcoming season? Does Wall salary count towards cap?

    He would be such an awesome vet to have for Smith (and Sengun)

    Dieng would be perfect but I'd be shocked if he got that type of money, BAE money sure.

    Saw your other post mentioning Muscala, with his shooting numbers .... I liked him a couple years ago, when he was with ATL.

    He's a really good shooter but man, his defense is hot garbage.

    It's the concept I perceive the league trending towards, tall, long wingspans, mobile
    and versatile. 3 & D players throughout the lineup.

    Raptors
    Siakim: 6'8" 240 lbs
    Scottie Barnes: 6'8" 225 lbs
    Khem Birch: 6'8" 227 lbs
    Precious Achiuwa: 6'8" 245 ibs
    Dalano Blanton: 6'7" 203 lbs
    Chris Boucher: 6'9" 200 lbs

    Boston
    Robert Williams: 6'8" 240 lbs
    Grant Williams: 6'6" 236 lbs
    Theis: 6'8" 245 lbs
    Horford: 6'9" 240 lbs

    Warriors
    Looney: 6'9" 249 lbs
    Wiseman: 7'0" 245 lbs
    Draymond: 6'6" 236 lbs
    Otto Porter: 6'8" 227 lbs

    Cavs are doing it with a slightly taller version of

    *height and weight may vary depending on which website you pick
    ___________________________

    Sengun is our one big heavy vs Embiid, KAT, Valancunis, Steven Adams.....
    I was dreading both Sengun-Banchero in the playoffs as both may be unplayable
    to get beyond first round soon in the NBA.

    I've been promoting the defense by committee for rebounds, steals, altered shots.
    I called it the Wolfpack defense while @D-rock called it the HOUnds. Both allow for
    a thin-ish 6'8" player to front the "Opposing Bigs" while flanked by other long
    wingspan defenders.

    I hope the Rockets would sign Chris Boucher who had a very good 3P% as
    a starter while providing long wingspan defense.

    Draft Cam Whitmore (6'7") or Dillion Mitchell (6'7") or Jordan
    Walsh (6'7" w/ 7'3" wingspan)

    Rockets starters in Regular Season 23/24:
    Porter / Green / Cam Whitmore / Jabari / Sengun
    Rockets starters in Playoffs 23/24 (Small Ball lineup):
    Porter / Green / Cam Whitmore / Jabari / Eason
    Or a version there of
