Well this turned to be a disastrous year but it could be a blessing in the long run. We have lots of players on the roster still under the age of 25. With the right moves we can turn around the ship rather quickly and look to build a contender in the next 2-3 years. But it will take some serious moves this summer, the likes of which I'm not sure we have gusto to do so. 1. Full Front Office & Coaching Layoffs (We need fresh perspectives about our current players and our current future. There is far too much baggage right now). 2. Full Rebranding (Time for a clean look from everything to the logo to the uniforms). 3. Prioritize fan experience (Make Toyota Center a place where people will actually want to go. Cheap food & Drinks, stop with the lower bowl fiasco). 4. Figure out on the roster who you want to build around then sell the rest. (Is it Amen? Sengun? Reed? Who cares just pick 2-3 dudes out of the 6 and start building a roster).
It’s time to burn all this **** down and start over. Fire the GM and all the coaches. Let the new execs/coaches Trade the young guys they don’t want here
6? I think Jabari and Tari are merely great role players at best, maybe Tari is more but I doubt his best days are here. Sell the team, find a new GM....and so on.
Last time I got my hopes up that they might move on from Stone, they gave him a secret extension that they waited until the end of the year to announce publicly. Reset not gonna happen.
I think it's also time to get rid of the entire fanbase and start from scratch there too. Everyone who came on board this season and before. . . No longer fans and no longer watches or talks about the Rockets. Only brand new fans who will learn to love the brand new management and team. Who's with me?!!!
At a bare minimum the front office ought to go. Basically every decision they made this offseason blew up in their faces, including now the big KD trade and extension. Any serious, intelligent owner who cares about winning fires people for stuff like this. Bring in a new GM with serious basketball experience who Ime will respect and listen to, shake up the coaching staff and bring in somebody who really knows how to design an offense. The problem is we don't have a serious, intelligent owner who cares about winning, we have Tilman and his nepo-baby son. So I'm expecting him to double down, as people like him usually do. We'll probably trade away all our assets for aging stars, go nowhere in the playoffs because the roster is built poorly, and end up having to tank and totally rebuild again in a few years.
The rebuild was a failure. We don’t have a franchise star, just a bunch of roll players. Better off trading for picks and tanking until we get a true #1
Not just role players, but Good players. Than you have Great/Near allstar, and allstar, then Superstar. Sengun could very well be just a 20-10 allstar Robin most his career, but needs a young superstar in the Draft Dont we hold 2027 Nets pick?
I would bribe Giannis’ shrink to employ “inception” to plant the idea that he needs KD to win a championship next season, and their 2026 1st rounder is the price
Yeah the rebuild really hasn’t been a success up to this point. Feels like a reset needs to take place whatever happens after this season.
2027 draft is supposed to be buns and if the nets get a top 3 pick to take one of the mega studs then we might be looking at a mid-teens pick.
it was not a good move. Some will say hindsight is 20x20 but the truth is Stone was eager to extend out the years on the pick so he had more time to trade them for a star. Phoenix looked like they were gonna implode. But there were many of us who understood that the 2026 draft class was supposed to be special and that the Nets were gonna be bad in 2026 regardless. in fairness, the 2025 pick we gave back to Brooklyn turned out to be a bad pick. Demin looks like a good prospect, but it was a much later pick than expected. But if 2026 ends up top 4, plus all the cap room they’ll have this offseason, they could end up being much better next season. And of course the 2027 draft is projected to be potentially worse than 2024. It was probably a mistake to trade out of potentially the two best drafts of the decade. That should probably have figured in more to Stone’s calculations. But if the Nets don’t get a top pick in this draft, Stone wins this trade…pretty much due to luck.
I commend your optimism, but NONE of this is happening. Pro Houston sports teams tend to be complacent until it’s literally almost no choice. Just like how Texans won’t actually address CJ Stroud & Offense. They’ll just make a lot of oblivious feel good positive statements and “hope” it works out. I kind of give Astros a pass due to winning championships, but then again not really because they are the one Houston team with no salary cap but yet ownership wouldn’t spend the money to keep some of our top players and look at the dodgers vs us. They are showing how to ACTUALLY keep a dynasty together. Welcome to Pro Houston sports where obvious decisions to us fans never even enters the minds of the teams coaches, GMs, and owners.
New Shell, old problems....lmao. Lobotomized bot fans. Might as well have no fans, just program/print your own Yes dude Army.
Many fans are convinced we don’t have a future all-nba guy as part of our core. Well I think one of the worst outcomes of the Durant trade was forgoing the unforeseen opportunity to get that Pels 2026 pick. If we had just stood pat and gone into draft night with #10, we would have received the same offer Atlanta got for trading back. The same offer Pheonix foolishly turned down. And then we’d have a legit good chance at drafting one of those potential franchise-changing prospects. Hindsight is a b#tch.
