    thats nothing more than an assumption. OKC doesn't matter when we're talking about the rockets

    I strongly believe it. I can't give facts on something that isn't possible to happen. Jaylin went to OKC a few picks after the TyTy selection...only reason i brought them up. So, it does matter in this convo.

    So, what's the point of saying it's an assumption if we already know that.

    because it's an assumption in this context

    Jalen Smith would be a really nice fit here imo. Hope he’s on the radar for us.

    This team doesn’t need a free agent center, it would be a waste of time.

    See what Sengun, Garuba and Smith can do this year.

    We need interior defense. Jabari and Eason does help with our interior defense but a backup center who can block shot and rebound. I do not trust Garuba….in my opinion. We will see at the Summer Leage

    We are legitimately dealing with players wanting out because of play time, we need to see what we have so we can then worry about what we need down the line.

    You don't think we need a bigger body who offers rim protection, and for certain matchups? I know he signed with NY, but what are your thoughts on Harty? I think he coule be a starting C in the league. I thought NY got a steal at the price tag.

    Smith isn’t a center and neither is Garuba on a good team. They should both work on the stretch 4 games. I mean it’s ok if we’re tanking, but we’ll need another big when we’re serious about winning.

    I think LMA would be a great mentor to jabari as long as he doesn't get any playing time.

    I think we can give our backup C at least a solid 15 mpg. We would just need to move EG so we don't have our SGs (hence SF's, PF's) all forced down a position.

    He probably wants a shot at a ring before hanging it up
