    We have so many franchise players - it's inevitable.

    We have the best young center and the best young pure point guard and 3-point shooter in the league. Plus, incredible athleticism and just winning impact from Amen, Tari, Cam. Plus, Jabari and Jalen.

    I mean maybe 4-5 years from now. I love our team, but I think a realistic window for that result isn’t going to open for four more seasons at a minimum.

    There is only one franchise player.

    Everyone has to fit in around Reed now.

    Yeah but there's that one guy who claims that only Sengun's a franchise player and that everyone else is an imposter. I don't know if I should believe him or you.

    Starting this preposterous thread after a SL game is definitely knee-jerk, but you have nothing to lose.

    If the Rockets don't close the sale, everyone will forget this thread existed. If they do, you can revive it from the dead in 2-5 years and brag.

    You are smart.

    I think it will happen in the next 3 years. Just didn't want to get ahead of myself too much.

    Our bench team is better than other rebuilding rosters starters.

    Reed
    Cam
    Tari
    Amen
    Adams

    I’m taking that over Pistons, Bulls, Wiz. Blazers, **** all of them except maybe Cha and SAS.

    If even one guy in the starters pops off as a top 20 guy this year.. We can make it interesting in the playoffs right now. If Sengun takes another leap.. or Jalen by some miracle becomes a consistent shooter. Most exciting team we’ve had since 2017.

    No we definitely won't. I love your passion and fandom but slow it down a little bit. I love your takes so I don't want your credibility to decrease

    They need to change the rule of basketball to 7 players each side. We have 7 franchise players that need to be on the floor at the same time.

    I think even if none of these guys turns into a true superstar we are still going to be at least a "fringe" contender in a couple of years because we're just so deep. Knicks went 50-32, same record as Dallas, without a top 10 player (depending on where you rank Brunson). Of course, that was in the East, but still.

    If one of our guys takes the step into true superstar status, NBA is f*cked.
