    If Ime remains as coach next season, it is best if the Rockets could trade Reed to a team with a coach who would appreciate his skills, not only at shooting, but at passing and opening spaces for the offense. Currently, he is the only player who could possibly get good returns in a trade since I don't think any of Ime's favorites will be traded at all. The way this team is built and coached, it would not really matter much whether Reed is with the team or not. The team badly needs an overhaul from top to bottom, but it depends on the ownership if they are willing to take some financial hits in return for a much better organization and team. I hope I am wrong if a miracle happens in the playoffs. Let the playoffs begin.

    The only stats that matter are wins and losses. With Reed being the lead guard the Rockets are 16-4.

    Those games were against play in teams or injured or just straight up tanking. If we can play the Jazz, Memphis, Wizard, and Pelicans the whole playoffs, sure start him. I dont think you Reed fanboys are ready for this playoff series you are about to.witness

    lies, this was already proven to you, and then you turned around saying that a couple of opposing players had diarrhea, some felt icky and then Reed had some extra juice the day of.

    All I know is that Reed is someone that Morey would go after just like he did Harden. When no one else could see it, Morley did.

    He actually pushes tempo in transition (often pushing the ball up and getting transition opportunities) and has a lot of good passes to open shooters as well, so he does more than just shoot.

    Like I said he is just a shooter and he can't guard most player in the NBA.... and when he is the game he takes a lot of shots, that is fine when he is on....

    Opposing team searches for him for easy buckets. He has improved on his switches just can’t win

    He hasn’t been good this playoffs period. Whether it’s nerves, inexperience, or teams turned up the heat on defense or that he just straight up couldn’t shoot, he has underperformed.

    Trade his and Amen’s 10 mil contracts along with Sengun for Giannis and Ryan Rollins. Get a stretch center or defensive big somewhere

    Oddly enough, most experts, coaches, former players, etc., have very good views of Reed's impact on the team. Except Ime.

    Ime only trusts his gut, which told him to bang someone’s wife

    I liked your take, but I feel sad because I know it's true. No Rockets team has ever made me feel this sad. Thanks Ime.
