Rockets offensive woes are captured well by considering late game FTs. Even healthy, you literally only have Fred who you can count on to knock two down when a big game is close. For most of the roster, you're lucky to get 1 of 2.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

Honestly I really like both of these finals teams. So easy to root for and elite, competitive basketball

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

No matter how good your GM is at managing contracts, missing on 2 out of 4 top-4 picks is a fireable offense.

[SleeperRockets @SleeperRockets]

SI’s @BinkleyHoops thinks the biggest takeaway for the Rockets from watching the NBA Finals is the need for offensive improvement

“Of course, the biggest improvement has to come from the 3-point arc, as both Finals teams have shown they can punish opponents from 3-point range, something the Rockets have struggled with for years.”

[NBATRADERUMORS @NBATRADERUMORS8]

REPORT: The Houston Rockets have shown interest in moving up in this year’s draft, per sources.

If Houston does move up expect them to draft a PG.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

@stfukhi I think he's a great player (most valuable on HOU for sure). But I think "untouchable" really should be reserved for very few players in the NBA, period, and Amen isn't in that category (yet) imo.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

@RocketsNationCP I don't think they can aggregate Tari salary in an S&T with others

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

@mshap2 @GormanChristoph @SamQuinnCBS @mshap2 any idea why not? It doesn't seem to be too crazy an idea (doesn't have to be this proposal specifically), but moving KD to more of a win-now situation for draft assets and role players could definitely be a win-win, esp if the FO is saying they're not on KDs timeline

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

Not all that controversial tbh though I know it's not popular sentiment among the fanbase. Unfortunately, the roster is full of flawed players who are pretty inefficient on O save KD, and as inefficient as Sengun has been, he's been the best option after KD which says something

[Andrew Soukup @asoukuptx]

Wow. Sam Vecenie goes in on Alperen Sengun:

- “He is worse than the sum of his parts.”

- ‘It would be OK[holding the ball] if he were an efficient scorer. He isn’t.’

- “I think it’s really hard to win at the highest level in the playoffs with someone isn’t a great defender.”

@BiasedHouston Who are the 1.5 lol

[Jake Weinbach @JWeinbachNBA]

The Heat and Tyler Herro appear headed toward a divorce this offseason, regardless of whether the All-Star guard is included in a deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

@wydsilent Moochie Norris

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

@esidery Anyone who says it's an overpay doesn't remember the Desmond Bane trade. Elite role players aren't cheap and that's definitely a market rate proposal.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

This would be a fantastic move

[NBATRADERUMORS @NBATRADERUMORS8]

REPORT: The Houston Rockets have expressed trade interest in Raptors guard Immanuel Quickly, per sources.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

@ByVarunShankar Honestly, I find them to be pretty likable as a team. Wemby is a legit phenom, they have grit, very few antics or foul baiting, and they win playing hard.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

@PauloAlvesNBA I could see it being a good swap for both teams.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

@HawkEmDownChris Brandon Roy, Penny Hardaway

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

I wonder if this factored into the Rockets tenure too

[Basketball Sphere @BSphere_]

"Whoever came to the team through trades had to adapt to our system. There was no stepping out of line... until Carmelo Anthony arrived." (laughs) 😅😅

"He was always late for everything. Terry Stotts was traumatized by players being late, but with Carmelo... if practice started at 10:00 AM, he'd show up at 10:45. He had that flexibility. We started joking: 'Where's Carmelo? Where's Carmelo?'" (laughs) 🤣

Jusuf Nurkic jokingly recalled what Carmelo Anthony's arrival to the Portland Trail Blazers looked like, joining a well-established system and a locker room culture that was perfectly led by Damian Lillard. 🏀

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

@JamesPiercey11 I'd love Joe

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

Real life trades also have to consider things like the cap, player extensions, existing roster and needs, what can be addressed via the draft, and so on.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

Most aggregator trade proposals that make rounds are astonishingly ignorant of player value outside of guys on All-NBA teams.

[HorryForThree @HorryForThree]

Most fan trade proposals on this app are effectively "here are my worst/least liked players for some of your most valuable assets." Real life trades usually require concessions on both sides and aren't just one side getting fleeced.
