    I didn’t vote for Silas , I assume those are trolls .

    Gordon hasn’t gotten a major injury , is playing OK , and hasn’t publicly demanded a trade .... I’ll take it . My expectations for him were low . He’s been a pro

    Gordon is (mostly) keeping quiet about his unhappiness/desire to be traded and (mostly) playing very well.

    Those are the two things required to: A) maximize the odds he is traded and B) maximize the return. So why is anyone unhappy with him? If he starts trashing the Rockets and/or playing like crap and making it much harder to trade him, that’s when I’ll be mad.

    I honestly feel bad for Silas at this point. He was served a pretty bad deal. His rotations though that's in him. He really needs a better assistant than Hornacek though. The same problems Houston is going through now is what the Knicks and Suns had problems with.
    I clicked on KPJ, his defense has improved and he's basically learning the pg position on the fly this year. He'll get there.
    Sengun has been insanely amazing. The guy is showing promise. Houston is going to have to make decisions real soon. Start wood or start Sengun. The double bigs is a disaster and one of them is going to be unhappy.
    Gordon=what we expected
    KjMartin and tate -great role players.
    The rest can kick rocks.

    Tate, Sengun, Martin, Garuba, and Green

    Not happy about their minutes, though. These guys should be playing more.

    Happy with or who I think is going to keep improving for the future. Sure Green hasn't been that impressive yet. But some of these guys are still 19.

    The only other player I would be upset about getting traded or cut would be Christopher. Anyone else, I don't really care about.

    Or at least Sengun's former translator.

    Voted for EG, Jalen, Sengun, KJ Martin, and Tate. I'm really disappointed in KPJ and I'd prefer the team trade him or bring him off the bench, Jalen immediately looked better playing without him.

    my thoughts on this are “**** Christian wood” if sengun steals yo PT and you get salty ... maybe try going better than 1-14

    wood isn’t a winning player , doesn’t make wining plays .. he only looks good when we are down 20 . Defense is trash too .

    start Theis , sengun , Tate , and Gordon . The other guard is up for grabs .. flip a coin . At least that lineup will move the ball

    It had to be Silas because why else would he play Theis in extended minutes and sit Sengun on the bench.

    just might be me but i despise the smirk he gives the opponents walking back on defense after scoring. like, really, you're thinking so little of your opponent when their team is up?

    How did Theis’ mom vote 11 times?

    I went with Tate because who doesn’t like that guy and Gordon because he’s been healthy and a professional. He’d be a good player on a good team. Stone has to be working the phones on moving him.

    Honorable mention to Green, Senguin, and KMJ.
    Green has shown flashes of what I expect and I expect a beast offensively. It’ll happen.

    Senguin just doesn’t play. He’s also shown flashes but not sure why his minutes are so limited. Probably because Silas feels like he has to play Theis. Trade Theis as well.

    KMJ looks good in the few minutes he gets. Play him more. Trade House.

    Trade House, Gordon, and Theis. Play Senguin and KMJ more. That’s what I’d like to see.

    Green is on schedule.

    Forget about Evan Mobley. It didn't happen. It's irrelevant to Green's progress.

    I'd be much more worried if he wasn't able to get open shots or get to the line. But, his athleticism is as-advertised.

    A lot of his flaws seem like the thing more minutes and games will improve over time.

    Sengun and Tate. I was hoping for better 3 point shooting from Tate, but he's been good overall.

    I imagine the guy that gets the players Gatorade is a good dude.

    Happy is a stretch. This team with no expectations has failed to meet a single one. I wish I could literally reset everything from ownership down.

    I went with Tate (my fave), Sengun, KJ Martin, & yes Daniel Theiss. Honestly he hasn't been as terrible as some ppl have been saying, actually has decent shooting splits 52/36/78 9.2 ppg and is a pretty decent post defender, so yeah on a team that litterally struggles in every aspect of the game, he's been playing well all things considered. Still waiting for Green to blossom I do see flashes of greatness from him so for now I will give him a pass for his struggles since he's literally a 19 yr old rook.

    Porter Jr., House, Wood, & Silas deserve negative votes. Large part why this team is 1-15
