I’m not a huge Stone defender, but I do think our FO is sharper than 90% of the other ones (probably most of that is Eli Witus). I would certainly...
All GMs are Machiavellian, and Stone was a Stanford Law trained general counsel under Daryl Morey for a long time. Believe me that what he says in...
I think people are having trouble adjusting to the reality of our situation, since they'd mentally already jumped into a world where we were in...
Here's a tip: you can get +2000 odds on Rockets to miss the playoffs right now. We are currently half a game above the play-in tournament. Put...
The point isn't at all about paying the tax. The point is that being deep into the tax / over an apron before the offseason starts makes it...
The point is: a) Yes agreed the 2025/26 cap strategy was a failure. b) Keeping DFS through the deadline and into the 2026 offseason hurts the...
Absurd that the first time the Fertittas are paying the luxury tax is for this roster construction. We have the 4th highest payroll in the NBA...
Rockets halfcourt offensive rating under Ime: Year 1: 20th Year 2: 22nd Year 3: 22nd Close to WITL halfcourt offense among non-tanking teams...
This bit is perceptive and accurate. As a first time GM, Stone has one foremost incentive: remain in a GM job as long as possible. 90% of GM’s...
It is a fair point that Ime has a certain vision of basketball: toughness / rebounding / physicality >>> shooting / BBIQ / collective offensive...
Is Jaden McDaniels a clearly better player than Tari Eason? Other than durability, no he is not. A lot of metrics say Tari is better, most other...
Here's the thing, sharp front offices in the NBA believe the optimal strategy is this: waiting. As a GM, you wait and you wait and you convince...
Well, yes. That is their baseline plan for this year and next. They’ve telegraphed it. IMO, the only way it changes is if some can’t miss...
Ayo Dosunmu is literally not good. Every single year he has been in the league his (bad) team is worse with him on than off. His advanced metrics...
You're worried about Tari being pulled away in restricted free agency, but restricted free agency as it used to be no longer exists. Only 3 offer...
Well Jabari is 22 years old, FVV has no trade rights, and advanced metrics say Adams is one of the most impactful basketball players in the world...
I would put the probability near 0% that the Rockets do literally nothing. I would put the probability close to 100% that the Rockets do...
My extremely boring (but more probable than anything else in this thread) prediction: Rockets trade DFS into a Hornets trade exception to duck the...
Actually, thinking about this more - I could see something where the FO is down on DFS's medicals after his setback, and moves him to a third team...
Very interesting as a buyout guy on a minimum after the Cavs salary dump him. He can defend 1-3 really well, handle, and pass. Total flyer though...
