    That's not a team that wins many games at all. Maybe 25.

    They still need one more vet to make the play-in tournament.

    I don't think so. They still can't shoot the ball. Unless the new system improves their offensive efficiency, that's still going to be a real problem.

    Those who argued for Harden’s return: “It’s not about winning a championship or even making the playoffs! It’s about improving, taking the next step, teaching and mentoring the kids!”

    Rockets sign VanVleet: “He better make the playoffs!”

    What changed? Why does that change for Fred?

    Ime already said it. … “I said it from day one, the biggest step we’ll take is from internal growth, not additions.”

    Add 2 solid vets that bring value on and off the court, and you have a chance at the play-in.

    Honestly, don’t even care for playoffs this year. Just need to see improvements on both sides of the court.

    West is STACKED….thats said…i think they can.

    They competed for 3 qtrs in every game last year.

    With new coaching, a vet PG and hopefully one of the Brooks, this team is definitely play in worthy at minimum.

    They have a bench of KPJ, Whitmore, Sengun (if Lopez is signed), Eason (if Brooks is signed), etc.

    They can rock 9-10 players deep if they want to and run teams out the gym.

    Ok now spend the rest of the money so the team isn’t penalized. He’s also could be a key to a trade in 2 years along with the other signings .

    We basically paid him to come off the bench? This is so dumb. He didn't play that well last season either.
