It is time to sell, sell, sell!!!!! Remember your ABC'S!!!! Brooks, Battier, Jeffries, Bud and Hill, I really don't care who else, but it is clear that THIS team will not win championships. (duh) Trade these guys for unproven size. I think we really have to consider someone like Thabeet, just for D. Or get a bunch of draft picks, we can build through the draft. The problem is that it appears that there aren't any good/decent center prospects coming out in the draft over the next couple of years, per all of the nbadraft websites and rivals college BB recruiting. How do you guys propose the ROX fix this thing?
I think we should cut Shane and Chuck in half. Stick the top half of Chuck on the bottom half of Shane for complete shut-down defence. Then glue the bottom half of Chuck to the top half of Shane and send it to the D league. Championship guaranteed.
I like it. But if we do that we will need to also swap Brooks' legs and strap them to Lowry's body. Take Martin's talent and put it in anyone that can play a bit of D, and we would be much improved too.
Why build thru the draft again? Isn't this what we been doing for the past few season with our current roster? Why do it again and give Houston fans more stress? Time to trade everyone on this team that you mentioned Brooks, Battier, Jeffries, Bud and Hill. Kmart and Yao are your main pieces to build around for the next season to 3 upcoming seasons and Morey is aware of this. Get it done Morey!
Sell anyone not named Patterson or Williams. Play these kids. Lose as many games as possible. Get as many draft picks as possible. Wait 3 years.
Yeah look at where we are now and that is what you'll have to look forward to while building around Martin and Yao. Also the Kings tried building around Martin...yeah....
the rockets trading is like trying to swap a kia and trading it for a benz. need someone stupid but i wait and see
We should re-sign Yao to a long term deal in the off season and build our roster around him because he is a trustworthy and reliable piece to our success in the future.
Trade Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, and whoever else for young guys. McGee and Curry could be had if we go full in on rebuilding. Then build on what we do have, Courtney Lee, Patrick Patterson, Terrance Williams.
Not much. It's not like Houston has tried this yet. Maybe if we're lucky we can get a star to come along. I heardTracy McGrady is available.
Chucks lower body strength and footwork are what make him such a great defender. You need to reverse that.
I was thinking that, but then he's have Shane's feet and Chuck's...... well... feet, meaning seeing where he was going would be a slight issue. It was more of a commentary on the "blow the team up" attitude being bandied about. I didnt expect anyone to take it seriously....but i appreciate the reply, you at least know what you're talking about.
Trading all these guys sounds nice and all, but you have to consider who would want them, and what you would get in return. Lottery teams aren't likely to want to give the house up for any of these guys, and contenders are generally short on the assets a rebuilding team would want. Besides most of this team is young already. It's not like the majority of the team is on the door of retirement or something. Martin is only 28, Brooks 26, Hill 23, Budd 22, Lowry 24. Even the "old" Scola is only 30, which is typically a player's prime. There is no reason to think he won't perform at a similar level for the life of his current contract, especially being a below the rim player. Trade anyone on the team if it will make us better. But there is no need for a fire sale just for the sake of change, as if these guys value is about to zero out tomorrow or something. No one on the team should be untradeable in the right deal, but generally you want to be the buyer when a team is dumping talent, not the seller.
