It would be fun to watch the Rockets in a play in game. It could just be one game though if they lost. It’s not that big of deal as long as they keep improving. Next year should be improved as well with a minimum of about a 7-8th seed. calm down folks
Lol exactly. People want Hield and all these players not realizing they are going to take the minutes of the young players they all love. Yall want these dudes then will later whine about why Cam or Amen not playing...it'll because Ime is going with the reliable vet. Rockets should be trying to offload vets like Tate, not acquire more vets. Although yes, a backup center for the rest of the season would be nice...
Holmes + compensation > Landale, tate, 2nd round picks. Stone can't help it if he reasonably gets outbid.
I’m starting to think u are correct. Savvy deal-making is not a phrase I associate with this front office.
Didn't they just said Dallas made an offer for Tate. That would get Dallas out of the picture. And of course you're going to get outbid for trying to sick Landale on someone. They knew one of our more important players was going to miss a month. F.O. also knew coach wasn't going to trust the rookies right away but they made no effort to replenish bench production.
Ime does not care about the Rockets Future he only cares about his own track record and coaching value. He wants this “I’m always in the playoffs” mentality.
Why would it get Dallas out of the picture? Unless the offer for Tate was the same as for Gafford which is highly unlikely.
This. And you didn't even mention Tari coming back from injury. If we're going to play our young guys, we're really only talking about a backup 5. Even then, he shouldn't be playing much if Sengun, Jabari, and Tari are playing as much as they should. They would cover 100% of PF minutes and like 75% of C minutes.
I would be straight up mad if we gave up a late first round pick for a back up center, especially when we already have Adams lined up for next season.
I think he quietly cares about how many Borderline All Stars develop under him as well....just not as important as Wins...
Every package I've seen for any of these signings is more than what we should offer. Fans are terrible GMs.
