@fyrebear They aren’t going to be a top 4 team in the west, but we will be competent, and we will give space for Amen, Reed and Jabari to show more.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@fyrebear FVV / Reed
Amen
Tari
Jabari
Adams / Capela

I will not hate watching that team. It’s functional with upside.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@fyrebear Yeah this is effectively a 2nd swing at tanking without the tanking. And we can add more to it by trading Durant and Sengun.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@fyrebear We’re better positioned than many assume. Between the Brooklyn swap, PHX pick and our own pick, we will have the best odds in the draft next year.

Still think Amen, Jabari and Reed could have fringy all-star upside in their primes.

No bad contracts.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

As a Rockets fan, I appreciate this kind of irrational optimism that precedes an inevitable collapse.

Mat Ishbia SHUTS DOWN any talk about the Suns trading Devin Booker 🙌

"[He] is going to lead us to a championship here in Phoenix... I'll ride into a fire with Devin Booker, and I'll do it proudly."

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@RedNinetyFour For better or worse, Reed’s game is loud. Whether he’s hitting a logo 3 or misses a defensive assignment, you notice everything he does.

But loud or not, the results speak for themselves. We are a better team with Reed on the floor.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@moustachecat99 @BiasedHouston Dort is a career 36% 3 point shooter on 5+ attempts per game. Thats perfectly fine for his role.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@BiasedHouston You’re not ever going to have only elite shooters on the floor. Jabari and Tari are competent enough.

This isn’t some wild theory. 2 nonshooters doesn’t work in the playoffs, and it barely works during the season.

Trading Capela because of Westbrook happened like 5 years ago.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

Reed is hilarious. When he’s on, it’s beautiful to watch. Everything about the offense works.

But his ugly is LOUD.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@fyrebear I think the unstated problem is that while he is capable of good offense and even decent defense, he has not shown the ability to sustain it over the course of a season.

That’s in part what I don’t think simply a more “optimized” roster around him will be enough.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@zorongeeko @RedNinetyFour Oh I’m concerned. And I do think we have enough data at this point to come to some conclusions. The first is that you can’t build a championship around an inefficient, high usage center that can’t defend.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

Utterly ridiculous how one sided the refs are right now. Used to it with the Cali teams.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

That was not a reach in. Bogus call to bail out Kennard.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

How are we down 2 lol

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

Fine with the defense so far. Lakers are hitting long 2s…have to live with that.

[finsrocket @finsrocket]

@BradeauxNBA The debate pre draft was the potential alpha in PB vs the high floor of Jabari. Several noted that PBs game might be inefficient.

I think what we all underrated was how young Jabari was, and how far he needed to go from a physical standpoint. Now there’s no way I’d swap them.
