    The Rockets need to Invest Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks money in the Front Court. PF, C in the Draft and Free Agency.

    PF, C is a Weakness.

    No defensive shot blocking Center. Alperen Sengun gives up on defense especially on switches and smaller arms that he can't shot block, laterally is slow.

    I’m not a Stone fanboy or anything. But, the team has gone from the worst in the league to a team that should make the playoffs. And, we are still a very young team that has a ton of room to improve. No way Tilman will be firing Stone in the near future. Unless, of course, he thinks Patrick is ready.

    A lot of CF posters have zero clue. The OP in particular said Reed Sheppard is the best 3 pt shooter "without a doubt" when the dude is shooting 28% from 3.

    You really trust the opinion of someone like that? No wonder he wants Stone fired dude is delusional.

    In my opinion (assuming the team doesn’t run deep to the WCF or beyond), Stone needs to package out whoever you need to to get a superstar this summer. They seem high on Booker, which I’m fine with. He had 47 last night. I’m packaging anyone not named Amen or Sengun. I like Green, but I say hang onto Sengun first, given that a big man with his skill set is harder to come by than an inconsistent scorer. I’d love to keep Jalen as a 6th man instant offense, but if he helps land a premier scorer, done. You can’t just hoard all the assets, as you’ll likely be at a place in a couple years where you can’t afford everyone anyway.

    Agree @Bryant2108

    my problem with stone trading. He will do Sengun and green for Booker and a scrub.

    CF is so funny first of all y'all were about Reed Sheppard not getting development well now Stone heard your cries now you want him fired. It is pretty clear belief in Sheppard is the reason Stone didnt get a backup pg he wants to see if Sheppard has any hope of being a good player or not.

    Reed just has zero confidence and I just don’t get it. He’s looks like a nervous wreck out there

    If you take him and put him back in GLeague tom guarantee he will be back to averaging 30 or w/e. RN he is better than GLeague but not yet at NBA kinda like Hartenstein before when he was on the Rockets.

    Yeah! We should've kept our lame picks on the roster!!

    Imagine what a powerhouse we'd be with Josh, Garuba, TyTy, etc. Nobody could stop us!

    Does anyone in their right mind think he's capable of making trades for this team? Watch his interviews. All his trades have been for draft picks. His most impactful trade was for Steven Adams who's damn near broken down. It's not a shock that his best deals have been done when he's been in a heavy position of power and only with the Nets. Nets were begging for Harden and then they begged for their picks back and that trade is a colossal failure if he can't get Booker which was the entire point of the trade to begin with.

    He's a joke.
