    I’m gonna be sick if all they can manage is 30 wins after upgrading the coach, spending all this money, and with Green and Sengun in year 3

    Exactly. That's why I find absurd and idiot the complains about the pieces we lost.
    It's as 12 man roster. Last year's 12 was second last in the league.
    It's either a full renewal or top 4 picks every year... maybe you are just accepting eternal failure.

    I'm just being pessimistic with that.

    It's really going to depend on how much of a jump Bari, Green, and Sengun can make this year and if KPJ can thrive in what looks like a new role.

    They are at least surrounded with vets though or have more maturity around them.

    I think people downplay that 'culture' stuff. Like when Josh checked in to the game he looked to score and do nothing else, nothing wrong with that, Josh trying to prove he belongs in the league and trying to get more minutes, but the difference is these young guys still have delusions of grandeur about their careers usually while vets are more than humble and content to play a niche role to help their team win.

    Of course Amen and Whitmore are complete wildcards, Amen could turn out being amazing or a complete bust, but at least these dudes are surrounded with guys used to being on winning team and used to winning games.

    He thought he was Harden in the making.... He needed to go, no room to wait and see if he never figures it out.

    I low-key think this is Ime's way of letting Jalen know this year is when things will get serious. No more best friend on the roster. Sh!te just got real.

    Y'all have to start putting trade details in the post.

    Anybody know if it's S/T for Dillon Brooks? That's a pretty decent trade. I'm not sure Christopher has much of a future as a chucker who also doesn't step up often enough on defense.

    I mean, kinda but "spending all this money" is just getting them up to a fairly average NBA roster outlay.
    You gotta pay somebody.

    Good trade, even as a lottery team the rockets were not getting much out of him.
