    These four players should all be better than last year:

    Alpi
    Tari
    Bari
    Green

    The individual improvement of each of them should at least be good for 2 added wins each...so that's + 8.

    We are no longer playing Nix. That's an easy + 2 wins right there.

    Ime coaching instead of Silasss = + 5 wins.

    FVV point guard instead of KPJ = + 3 wins

    Dillon Brooks improving our defense = + 2 wins

    Minimum 42 wins baby.

    And that's the baseline, it doesn't even count Amen and Cam.

    Let's f'ing go! :cool:

    Is this the thread to drum up good ideas on trade packages with Sengun to get a rim protecting center to complete the team for this upcoming seasons and the years going forward?

    I'll start. After Harden gets traded and Embid asks out.

    Sengun, Eason, Nets picks and swaps, Rockets 2027 unprotected pick for Embid

    Next years starting lineup

    Amen/FVV
    Green/KPJ
    Brooks/Whitmore
    Jabari/FA
    Embid/Jock

    Morey does his old team a favor!

    I admire your enthusiasm!

    But no. Too big a leap.

    I'd love to see it happen, but our guys are only ONE year older, and FVV/Brooks doesn't give us a magical bundle of wins.

    Hope you're right, though.

    If all goes super perfect they could push for 40, but since it won't I would say between 31 to 37, and that is still a real nice improvement from the low 20 win club

    Them reaching .500 mark this season would mean Sengun/Green are getting some all star votes outside of Rocket-land

    Besides that early press conference introducing Ime I haven’t heard much from KPJ this off season.

    I hope he is handling all the changes well mentally because even though he is not going to be the pg/head honcho anymore he can bring a lot more value as a scoring wing vs trying to be an orchestrator.

    No Silas: 10 wins
    No Nix: 5 wins
    No head honcho: 7 wins
    Total: 22 more wins

    so, 44 wins, minimum.

    Just a reminder: teams like the Lakers, Heat, Warriors, Clippers, and Suns were all only a few games over 0.500.

    To get that win total we would probably need at least one our players to be a clear cut all star and probably another to be knocking on the door.

    Pretty good value there. I think we'll clear 30 at least, more if one of our guys has a major breakout. Too bad I don't gamble :D
