    How Much are We Missing Tari?
    I think his impact is more than anticipated.
    Yes he was a bench played but he had the XFactor
    Other injuries hurt too. We have not gotten our rhythm back since some of them
    But
    I cannot help but think Tari could help alot

    Team could really use Tari, but I'm of the opinion just rest him for the remaining season. Let him fully heal and not be short-sighted.

    I agree. I just keep thinking that the TEAM GRADE is incomplete right now
    though the individual grades are what they are

    Tari had become like Ime's Swiss Army Knife

    its common sense Tari would help. He impacts the game even being on a minutes restriction all year but the rockets have been playing against injured teams all year.

    The reality is they spent a boatload of money on players that don't impact winning to the level of their contracts. FVV at max still laughable. Stuck with Brooks for $4 years 90 mil. Laughable. Jalen turns out to be a bust. and the other core young guys are exactly that, still young. All in all gives you a 30 win team

    Some of those bad/close lossses to tanking teams could have been wins.

    But the Thunder & the other good teams we get beat up by? Those teams are simply in a differnet class. Rockets woudl still be outside the play-in

    We had to spend the money...essentially, FVV will be on an expiring contract next season (has team option for 25-26 season) and Dillon Brooks has a descending contract (dollar amount decreases each year of his contract)...we're in a good position compared to the past 3 seasons with Silas, but I would say Stone is not the right GM for our team...we need more of a basketball-mindset GM, not someone who knows how to write contracts

    having to spend the money doesn't make it untrue. both significantly overpaid.
