He has the same mold of Amen- IDAF who you are. Rockets needs to get these type of players, not Jabari type who will get exposed when someone is more athletic than him. Jock, Jabari, Tate, 2nd round picks likely getting traded.
As long as Tate and Holiday are traded so they stop taking minutes away from those with a future, I'm happy.
Everybody wants Cam Whitmore. I want Cam Whitmore to stay a Rocket.....he just needs to get over his jealously of Jalen Green. I see his body language and freezing him out of open passes.
Any of the first tier players + picks (IF NECESSARY) to get a vet shooter unless a Curry becomes available of course.
Jock is gone, and perhaps Tate, along with some lesser picks. I expect us to get Robert Williams III and call it a day. Maybe we will be a facilitator in a bigger trade and get more future assets, but I'm not expecting anything major going down. Summer is the time for us to strike.
If you can’t earn minutes over Tate and Holiday you don’t deserve to play. This take of yours in response to Sheppard/Cams failures in comparison to your takes on Jalen/Jabari on the Silas teams is wild. Long live Tate and Holidays tenures as Rockets, they have been amazing 3rd stringers who step in and play hard and well just about every time they are called upon.
Ime's decisions never have anything to do with earning anything. Amen would still be coming off the bench for Brooks and Smith without an injury forcing him to start. That's why to get Ime to do the right thing, sometimes you have to force him to do it just like other high profile coaches in the past.
JSJ is not getting his starting spot back. It’s likely a 9 man rotation the rest of the year with Bari, Whitmore, Tari and Adams coming off of the bench.
^^^^ This I expect a trade for Williams and I'm hoping for a trade for a shooter like Kennard. That's if they cant make a deal for a guy like KD. (Bucket getter)
I don’t get the wait till the summer to strike a trade. The Rockets are 2nd in the West now. But they don’t have enough firepower even if Jabari comes back and Tari gets healthy. OKC seems to be a tier above. So that means make a trade, upgrade to a star level player and compete now, these chances don’t come often!
Jock and Tate are low hanging fruit. There is no doubt more significant guys will be gone too. Ain't no way they will run every rotation player back. The rest of the season and playoffs will reveal a lot.
