All my puns are intended.
As a Houston fan, this makes my eyes hurt and I'd very much welcome something else. Anything else.

He'll have some down games soon but he's converted me into a believer after this last ~5 game stretch
November 27, 2025 at 5:53 AM
Had made every minute of his PT worth it for Ime
November 27, 2025 at 5:06 AM
Reed
Amen
Jabari
KD
Sengun

Gonna be a fun starting line up soon.

Tari, Okogie, Adams, and DFS off the bench is an insane rotation.

And think Reed & Capela PnR is a secret weapon yet to be unlocked.

The 3pt shooting drop with Tate will be rough
November 15, 2025 at 7:55 PM
No point in having a versatile roster if we get beat at our own game
November 8, 2025 at 2:42 AM
Why are they overthinking and overcomplicating everything? Making it harder on ourselves

I think his most Amen Thompson game of the season on both end of the court

Udoka offense been cold since he got here. Foolish to think it'll be any different this year.

This is just a bad product to offer the world. What is the NBA doing
October 25, 2025 at 2:19 AM
Biggest assist from Steven Adams was telling Amen he had a booger after he finished through contact against Chet 🤣

Deploy double big to start for any team that has a big front court.

All others start Tati until DFS is healthy.

If it's a rest night for Tari or Adams, give Reed a shot to start to get him more reps

Personally, I'm only in if he and Udoka got past that awkward disconnect when Cam said he didn't know his role. Feels like that point in time may have dictated what we're seeing now. He may not be a Udoka guy, so we gotta go find someone who is while his value is high/est

Dribble penetration to the rim (& threat of it) is going to be Rockets achilles heel next year.

FVV/Reed a bit small but crafty.

Amen bulldozes but needs to finesse his handle/finishing.

Cam has the raw talent, but needs to up his D to stay on the court.

JG, while inconsistent, gave the threat.

Praying for 37yr old's health every. damn. day. 🙏🏼

Glad to have you here

JG has notoriously been a slower developer, but he's definitely gotten better each season. Not linear progression at all but he does get better
June 18, 2025 at 10:47 PM
Curious if there's a 3-team framework a little like this:

Rockets: KD, 27th pick
Suns: Claxton, Brooks, 19th pick
Nets: Cam Whitmore, 10th pick, 2027 pick back from HOU

Only viable via S&T using Tate or Jeff Green.

My hope is that Stone and co have made their offer consistent spanning back to last year to help mitigate that perception of low balling. But pride and emotions are funny in the sports world so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh I think it's a very good deal. Especially if they're are in win now mode and we're shipping Dillon within conf. I personally think it should be Dillon, Reed, and 10th pick but I feel like I'm in the minority.

Jabari shadowing KD for 3 seasons would be extremely valuable, imo
June 15, 2025 at 5:03 PM
If I'm Rockets FO, no way I'm giving up more than 1 of the core 7 in any scenario.

Dillon + 1 core + 10th pick + maybe a pick swap back

Above should be the max, and even then it feels too much given KD's age
June 15, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Thinking more on this. Another potential avenue is Rockets trading up in this year's draft and sending that player in July to help the math work.

Would somehow need to get into Top 4 range (need ~$7.6M), but may also require more assets to do so. Or you ask PHX to help make that happen.
