    Rockets are fine without getting KD or Giannis. I will say would rather them just get more efficient 3pt shooters. They also need someone who can break a defense down, off the dribble. A 3 level scorer that can score from paint, mid-range, and 3 that can dish as well. It's usually your shooting guard, but I don't know if they can develop Jalen into that. Maybe this team just needs a good offensive coach. I do know J Sean Tate and Aaron Holiday have no business being on this team. Also Fred and Jalen should never get that much usage as well.

    lol he could have traded Harden for Ben Simmons.

    Sengun trade? Adams trade? Dillon Brooks trade? Cam Whitmore trade?

    Rockets have 7 young prospects in just 4 yrs that doesnt happen without trades. They have been picking in the lotto despite getting 0.500 last year and 2nd seed this year that doesnt happen without trades.

    The fact you dont even know the trades Stone made but still fail him is a total joke. Maybe do some research before you say he hasnt done any trades? lol wtf

    I'm not sure why everyone thinks we are in a place where we have to make a move. I would be shopping Jalen + #10 + possibly Whitmore for a SG upgrade but even if that doesn't come about we can honestly just roll with this team and be fine. I would reduce minutes for FVV and Jalen in favor of giving more minutes to Reed and Whitmore

    If Jabari or Tari has a really big head in extension talks and wants too much money maybe consider shopping them too, but ideally we can keep both.

    Beyond that, try to re-sign Steven Adams. If you can't, I use #10 on a big man. If you can, I'm flipping #10 for future draft capital to load up the war chest. And as mentioned I'd like to actually play Cam this season and see what he can do, but if the front office isn't going to play him then flip him for draft capital as well. The 26-27 season is where you fully hit the gas, before Amen's extension kicks in. This next season isn't urgent yet, and I don't want to blow it too early and shorten the championship window. Keep developing our guys and see what we have while loading up the war chest further.
