    Maybe KPJ is gone in a consolidation trade for a center?

    Better than Landale, be sure...I know him from Turkish League. Strong, and athlethic guy. He is like lob threat Fernando but little bit better. (I have to add, he is a poor shooter)

    there you go, the newly created extra cap room is to sign Jock Landale ($8 million 1st year), after giving all $20+ millions on Dillon Brooks
    sad

    1) The long game objective is championship not just playoff team.
    2) I fear you may be conflating Green with Porter.
    3) I'm guessing you haven't watch much of Mobley beyond highlight clips. Those same youthful foibles exist with him.
    4) Mobley clearly gives you more on defense, as a big should. He also gives you significantly less on offense.
    4) Quoting John Wall (where is he by the way) isn't the flex you think it is.

    I've followed the league a long time and I've seen far more teams get stuck on a treadmill than get stuck in a rebuild. And most of the treadmillers end up having to rebuild anyway.
    Unfortunately a large portion of the Rockets fan base don't know what a rebuild entails.

    Results take time.

    Jocks a serviceable backup big and Brooks and Mills are better than TyTy and Garuba. They are trying to win games

    we have enough cap to sign Dillon Brooks, Brooks and Mills deal has nothing to do with the Garuba/TyTy trade. the cap space was created to sign Jock, yes he's a serviceable backup big but Stone messed up these asset management job

    A first round pick that was never given a chance. He could have still been the third string point guard which every team needs in case of injury and could have moved up to backup once FVV is gone.
