Rockets 2024 Offseason Thread

Still no Adams in this workouts

 

Kerr molded an underperforming team from Mark Jackson and turned it into a dynasty. It's incredible that he is ranked lower than the others who have not achieved anything close to him. He could be number one or two although Spo has achieved a lot too.

 

Yes, it's unfortunate. I doubt that he can play much for the Houston Rockets. Landale will be working overtime.

 

Cade is bizarro Sengun. Done nothing and ranked high. Sengun done a lot and ranked low.

 

City Edition Leaked

 

Boring.

 

Urban!

 

I agree with your take but I think it's in the wrong thread? I think it should be in the Ime Udoka good coach thread where they have put a ranking of top 10 coaches.

 

Bone on bone

 

Wish these cowards would just put Chad Butlers face on these. Everybody wants it

 

Covington is a good depth guy but you kind of hope he can't steal any minutes from this forward rotation. He shouldn't be able to at this age.

 

I remember when TJ Warren was putting up solid numbers for my fantasy team.

 

LOL, when did TJ Warren become a PF?

 

Dougie McBuckets for some more shooting?

 

Jack McVeigh is better

 

Yep. And we always have Jeenathan in our back pocket.

 

Players come and go and get injured. His midrange was one of the better ones.

After finishing with a 41-41 record following a 16-6 close to the regular season, Houston enjoyed a 19-spot improvement from last year -- by far the biggest jump in the league. Houston's first top-10 ranking since landing in the fourth spot five years ago was powered by top 10 rankings in each of the management, money, draft and market categories and a jump from 26th to 17th in the players category. -- Bontemps
