Rockets feel like they may have arrived the way OKC did last year...too soon to win a title but likely in the mix as contenders now.

Great defense is a big part of that.

You better make a dynasty thread

Thunder will throw these guys around when it matters. Hate to lose that last game of the 4 game road trip though.

They also don’t have an alpha on offense

Curious how that works out in the playoffs

I think trading fred and picks for dame would be fun as hell for them

Fred played like one tonight, but that’s not him

Not talented enough to be a 1, not close really

It’s gotta be Green. He has to evolve and maybe Jabari can evolve into a solid 3rd option. They know what they have in Sengun but he isn’t a #1. Lacking that alpha/star

I just don’t see Green being that guy

your Heat are the definition of mid

The Jazz tanked two years too late.

You have his bird rights and can offer more money than anyone

And he’s a bridge to the post Lebron world

You gotta do it if possible

I don't think its that easy. He's wanting a max and I don't really think he's a max player, which is largely why no team has traded for him despite being on the block since the summer. He's right on that tier below of guys who should really get a max (perennial all stars). He's more of a player that can make an all star team a couple times in his career but is more just a very good starter. You can mess your roster up overpaying guys like that but the cba/market essentially forcing you to pay anyone who ever flirts with all star status a max contract. It feels like every team out there is really hesitant to trade for him knowing this and instead hoping he'll hit FA where they hope the market will force him to take less money

Trade bait for an alpha

Don’t forget they have pho’s future so they got some enticing picks

Which is why you’d be getting him for 2 firsts and bad contracts….

And right now he’d be a #3

I think offering a max first year and declining after that is a fascinating offer for him

Why would he call it while he is driving to the hoop? Give your team enough time to set it up and call a play

They have been trying. Trying to trade KD. Gianis rumors. At the deadline they might be desperate if they are a top 4 seed

Bron was never going to maintain shooting 45-46% from 3.

Nobody's asking him to. However, going 0-for 3 games from 3 (including 0-10 last night) and 4+ TOs per game going into last night's game (broke that streak with 3 TOs, all in the first half) needs some adjustment to say the least.

Sure, but overall he is about to be 40 and playing pretty well overall.

Not to mention, Father Time is undefeated.

Mazzula and doc rivers
