    And now we have a plethora of them.

    Wood, Boogey, Caboclo.

    I am giddy, I wanted Bennet - he got hurt, I wanted DMo - he is in China - I just wanted a BIG that could play like Okur and clog the lane on D and shoot the 3 ball on offense so Harden has room.

    THIS TEAM IS STACKED - it is a CHAMPIONSHIP level team - IF Harden checks in.....

    Do NOT trade James Harden make him play at least until the Trade deadline, he will come around.

    This team has it all - except for PJ, it is time he moves on - he doesn't fit on this athletic movement off the ball team.

    His 8m expiring contract should get us a prospect or a draft pick.

    GO ROCKETS !

    You can review my posts, I have been after a PF/C that is tall enough to block shots and shoot the 3ball at an effective rate.......

    We finally have that now - let's see how Harden responds once he realizes this is the best team that he will ever have around him.

    If (by some miracle) Harden stays and Harden buys in ... and the Rockets contend... then the Rockets need to keep Tucker.

    Why? He doesn't fit and he takes minutes away from bigger talented better players.

    LOL - I don't fall for loyalty crap, best man plays.....what is stupid is hanging on to has beens.

    Loved Shane Battier, loved Luis Scola, loved Bobby Sura, Loved Mike Newlin - but they all got too old......PJ is in serious decline.....if he were happy just riding the pine as a bit player - sure keep him.....but he is not good enough to play in from of any of our 3pt shooting big men.

    Time to let him go.......sorry that folks want hanger ons.....I want a ring.

    Westbrook is 10 x the player wall is . Harden showed up out of shape . Cousins was a shell of himself even with golden state than had more injuries . This team will have 0 chemistry meanwhile the lakers are loaded . Rockets are not even the best basketball team in Texas . Highly doubtful they make playoffs . Vegas doesn’t think they will

    Dude, centers who shoot 3s dont grow on trees. You have been clamoring for something that the league(and Daryl Morey) is/was very aware of. Five out spacing isnt new. Even Woods is not gonna be that amazing of a shooter, he'll space the floor and that's good. But dont act like he's the only thing that makes this team a championship, that's now how this works.

    This is not the best team that has been around Harden, that would be 2017-2018 until proven otherwise. 2017 Chris Paul>Christian Woods.

    harden and a healthy boogie in the two-man pick and roll is automatic.

    You are just not good at evaluating talent on the floor. If you watched PJ and thought he was washed

    Give it time, they will work it out - they have the right pieces that fit in, they just need time to get it right.

    This team has a good mix of young and athletic and skilled......that is a HUGE difference.

    Dude, don't be a racist, who cares what race they are as long as they can play - this is embarrassing for you to want them to be white....ridiculous.

    Boogie can't role. That's why Woods is a way better fit next to Harden.
