With enormous cap room and an unimpressive free agent list, how should the rockets navigate next offseason?
I would like your podcast to state for the rockets to draft Jabari Smith. Then proceed to force the Rockets to draft him with your podcast powers.
Who is more likely to shoot 40% from 3 next year, Green or Wood? Who will have more assists, Sengun or Banchero? Who will have more rebounds, Tate or Garuba?
Along these same lines.... If there is no free agent we want available at our price - is there an overpaid veteran role player we should target that could stick with our young guys as they develop (like in the Al Horford mold)?
Green Banchero because if we draft him Sengun’s mins stay in the 20’s Because Silas sucks Tate Because Silas sucks and won’t play Garuba
The Ivey ‘reports’ means what, if it came to pass that he were actually drafted, for: EGo Christopher Nix Matthews ? Thanks.
In the next 20 years, would you rather 1 championship season, but 19 losing seasons (bottom 5 in NBA). 0 championship season, but 20 appearances at the finals or WCF.
If you had control of this off-season, what moves do you make? Draft/Trades/etc. With those moves, do you tank next year or go for it out of the gate?
When did rockets fans decide as a collective we would riot if Alperen Sengun is used as the 6th man? Could we get a re-vote on the idea of running the offense through him for half the game and letting him close when he's got it going, before he can buy a beer being terrible.
Let's assume that KPJ does not take any significant steps forward on the court this year, but eliminates any blowups off the court. At this moment, what contract (years and $) do you feel comfortable matching in RFA next summer, keeping in mind that the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception is projected to start at $10.6M. Assistant coach roles and responsibilities in the NBA are less rigidly defined than NFL coordinators, making it fairly difficult for this fan to evaluate whether any new coaching hire without previous experience is good or bad. Are there any markers that you think define a good coaching prospect beyond simply being on winning staffs? It's easy to just try and hire Pop's lead assistant every year, but Stephen Silas was the lead assistant under Rick Carlisle, about as good as it gets in terms of learning, and is probably on the hot seat this year without some marked improvement record-wise.
The way I wrote that seems like I’m saying both - I meant it as to say what path lashard would take. I should probably word that differently
x2, can you guys discuss Severo and the impact that his/they halftime performances could have on The Rockets...
Are you allowed to enjoy the success of current Rockets If you have desperately thrown them in 1000 trade scenarios? If Sengun goes on to be a complete monster, do the trade machiners get wedgies?
not sure I see the “current success”, but completely agree with you that we should let the guys we drafted to develop actually develop before we pass judgment on their future with the team. The Garuba looking like a miss thread is a prime example.
