    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Thompson and Whitmore will have better careers. I'm comfortable with potentially being wrong in the future about this one.

    No doubt but still unproven in this season.

    You go season by season to garner the interest of the FA, now free agents do not want to be Rockets unless they are heavily overpaid.

    That is the reality right now.

    Absolutely, but they've yet to be given a shot and failed to show much at this level. Jury's still completely out on them. All the guys we cut loose had a chance to force the team to keep them around. Only KJM came close, and I see him only getting spot for the Clippers.

    Last year was a wasted year other than winning Amen and Cam but it was a wasted year to develop players like Christopher.

    All the more reason for them to shine. And they didn't. Hey, some of these guys might go on to make a rotation, but none are going to do much more. We didn't give up potentially great players today.

    You laugh, but if the Rockets keep Boban's $2M cap hold on the books (reducing our cap room by said $2M), they could later use their full Bird rights to sign Boban to as much as a max contract!

    Christopher had 2 full to show something.

    All he showed was dribbles and selfish play.

    Yes, he can hoop….but so can every person in the NBA.

    I think KJ, JC, Garuba are definitely good rotational pieces down the road. I am not so sure about TT.

    Christopher was not given a fair chance last year.

    Garuba showed flashes but is too much of a one trick pony. Specialist in limited minutes.

    Legit question. Would we be as frustrated with this signing if Memphis never played LA in the playoffs?
    Maybe no one wanted tate?

    We need a interior defender. I heard some rumors about Myles Turner and us today…but we will see. We need a shot blocker. We have Tate and more salary cap so maybe we have one more trade

    Josh isn’t seeing mins behind Bane and Kennard. He might be off to China in a couple of years. Just like his older brother, good enough to make it but not good enough to stick.

    Dillon Brooks part of 8 man lineup in a title contender? Grizz told him they didn't want him in any way shape or form.

    Not that much but I think Brooks was starting to decline before the Playoffs. His efficiency went way down.

    And his frustration that he had couple of mediocre seasons was used on Lebron James.

    Yeah and DB was a 0 win player for the Grizzlies.

    While I don’t think much of FVV and hate Brooks, who did we let go that actually hurt?

    Why are you so worried about how much they're getting paid? Lol.

    Don’t like him but he was a 2nd team all defense player for the 2nd best team in the west. Who did we lose that contributed to winning?

    Lol pretty simple.

    The young guys would pay attention to all of that and do you think they will play for free once they hit prime or are producing?

    Do you think I post here because I am worried?

    Think again, I just parodied that as much as I can.
