    We won’t be able to keep the Core 6 together long term, Denver has a legit Core 4, Tari has been injury prone and Amen has potential but he’s not a PG and he can’t shoot, I think we all can agree FVV won’t be here for long, As for #3, it’s a pretty weak draft

    Jalen Green & #3 to Wiz
    Garland to the Rockets
    #2 and Kuzma to Cavs

    Garland/FVV/Amen
    FVV/Cam
    Brooks/Tari/Cam
    Bari/Amen/Tari
    Sengun/Adams/Bari
    + MLE
    = playoffs

    Amen hasn't even played a full year and you're ready to toss him?

    Cam and Amen will help with size in the backcourt. Fred is great off the ball. The shooting and passing with Fred and Garland in the backcourt would be excellent. But my biggest concern with Garland is his defense. It’s why I don’t think he’s worth going all in on.

    I’m also okay just taking Reed Shepard at #3.

    Good Player but that jumper is broke! Rockets fans envision him as a long term solution to be our PG for the future, Amen is not a PG, He’s basically a Draymond Green that can Guard 1-4

    You can’t keep the Core 6 together long term! Idk why most Rockets fans think so, FVV won’t be here long lol, Like I said in an earlier post Tari and Amen are good players but Tari has been injury prone and Amen can’t shoot, How many players with broken jumpers improved there jump shot? Just J Kidd right?

    Then he went off in March and was the only reason we were winning. We can’t give up on him. He’s shown what he’s capeable of. Now if he never showed us anything they yes I get it. But if we get rid of him we will regret it.

    LOL, that was CLEARLY a fluke. The reason he "went off" for those 8 games was that he happened to hit 47% of his 3's....something that he can't duplicate.....and he immediately went back to shooting 27% from 3 in the final 8 games after the hot streak to finish the season.

    Having a fluke 8 game stretch is great, but this is who he really is

    There's a reason why they were trying to dump this scrub last year.....and there's a reason why they failed to do so due to lack of interest around the league.

    i dont understand why the Rockets would have offered a ton of nets picks and Jalen Green for Bridges, when you can get a comparable/better player like Pascal as a free agent.

    You had me until you included Amen, our future superstar.
