Will we be able to keep Eason and Okogie?

I hope he can keep his shooting effifiency at a decent 40%

Opponents will contiinue to prioritze defending Alpi, KD, Jabari, and Aman

 

I'm counting on the regression to make his next contract affordable

 

You probably are... where is that information coming from?

We have our own 2nd round pick (UNLESS we keep our first round pick, meaning it is pick 1-4. Seriously unlikely.)

We have Chicago's 2nd round pick

 

I took it as the Rockets are likely to trade the Bulls pick...not that it likely wouldn't convey.

 

No.

 

Oh ok - sure! Chance we trade both picks - I don't mind either way!

The only thing I was suggesting is that we have the option of 2 super cheap roster guys by using the picks (ie 2 guys at the price of 1 vet minimum). A number of teams are using 2nd round picks or undrafted players to "negotiate the apron" - bring in upperclassmen to see if they can be a viable role player (and a bunch of guys are panning out as decent roster depth guys).
I was just flagging an option

Looks like I was just not following the journey of the pick. At any rate, I'm sure the Rockets will see what they can get for Eason, including if they can get a pick(s). I think it would be better for the Rockets to get a late FRP if possible, but two years without a FRP isn't bad considering how young the team still currently is.
