    Schroder is being looked at by Lakers/Mavs

    Lakers: Westbrook is probably going to be traded for:
    Myles Turner/Hield?

    Boban
    Chriss
    Trey Burke
    Sterling Brown
    Lamb
    Nix

    are hopefully going to be used in a trade of:
    Kenyon
    or Eric Gordon
    or Both

    those remaining waived in preseason

    There are going to be a lot of cuts once Pre-Season hits just like every other year.

    Fernando makes the 15 most likely. Still would love to sign a veteran PG and have Gordon & potentially KJ Martin traded.

    I want to add value with my post but this is it if players are not moved. Bruno or WCS on a lowball contract would be nice. I don’t want WCS because Silas will play him over development of the youth. Silas needs the wins.

    Brown, Burke, & Chriss will end up getting cut if they aren't added to a trade before rosters get cut to 15.

    Schroeder is just a cap hold for the time being - The Rockets have his bird rights so they could use him in a sign and trade if something were to materialize. No reason to renounce those rights when they are over the cap anyway.


    Anthony Lamb? Who Cares, as long as it's somewhere else.


    Garuba Who knows ..... His contract isn't guaranteed for next year and the Rockets have until October 31 to decide to guarantee next year or not. I suspect they don't and he's trade bait sooner than later.


    Boban could make the final roster, if for nothing else salary matching ..... and comedic value.

    Troy Williams will finally be off the payroll at seasons end ..... that dead money has hung around since 2017.

    I wish / hope a team signs Lamb so we never have to see him associated with Houston again. Mothafukka act like we the only team in the association :mad:

    I doubt the Rockets give up on him after a year in which he was mostly hurt for such a small salary. On whether he gets traded or not, I think there are a lot of things that will need to be figured out such as will Garuba demonstrate he has trade value, is Sengun the future center, is Smith the future center and/or PF, will Tari be mostly used as a 3 or a 4, will these guys develop well. I do think one of Garuba and Tate will need to be traded at some point unless one can show they have an NBA 3-point shot in the season.

    This will be interesting for sure. There are not guarantees in the NBA just because you were drafted.....2 years should be enough time to tell whether you want to invest in a players future.

    Has Garuba shown enough to get that 3rd year? Maybe? But it would be based upon what they see in practice.

    I agree that there are no guarantees due to a player being drafted. That said, 24 games and associated practices/G League time while he was mostly recovering from injuries are likely not enough to change the Rockets minds enough over the last year not to guarantee $2.5M for a third year before this season. He still needs to learn to do something offensively besides just setting screens and rebounding, but the Rockets knew that before they drafted him and knew that it would take time if it does happen.

    It would have taken him being completely healthy (or having lockerroom issues) and likely playing worse than he did for the Rockets not to guarantee the 3rd year for only $2.5M (i.e., I highly doubt the $2.5M will affect Rockets moves at all).

    Lamb likely returns to Vipers.
