Thicker Bennedict Mathurin is the best comp for Whitmore I’ve seen. Whitmore an inch taller, Mathurin with a longer wingspan and higher standing...
Exactly right. The Beal trade established the market for non top-20 players getting paid supermaxes. The return you get is expiring contracts...
Look, there are a lot of things the Rockets may end up doing, but I highly highly doubt drafting Cam Whitmore at #4 is one of them. It’s all about...
Imagine tanking for 3 years, then trading the assets you got from that for a 300 lb guy who doesn't like basketball and will probably never play...
Bill's list is an attempt at something useful, but it's also insane in a number of ways. Picking out just a few: - Josh Giddey at 22nd is the...
I think the best options are via trade with #20 and or KPJ + Tate and maaaybe a protected Nets ‘24 pick: Capela, Gafford, Robert Williams III. If...
I like Muscala as a third big, and think he’s available for basically nothing, but definitely think we need an actual center sized player on the...
Any player we draft will not contribute positively to Houston Rockets basketball this year. We have to make our decision on Jalen and Alli this...
There are two attributes that are essentially static for prospects. They almost never improve after you draft them. Size and feel. Cam is a solo...
Whatever people think of Jalen, Jabari, Amen if we take him… they are all reported maniacally obsessed with basketball and getting better. That...
I wouldn't take KAT into our cap space for free. He's starting a 35% of the cap supermax contract until 2028. If you're the team paying that...
Good points. When it comes to the physical gifts, I think we lose a lot of information by describing players as “more athletic” or “less...
To put it simply: Anthony Black is Amen Thompson without the upside Doesn’t have the first step / explosiveness / tools to create rim pressure at...
You're seeing every major free agent linked to Houston for two reasons: 1. Houston has the most cap space, and is the only real believable free...
Harden is still a great player. Still one of the best offensive orchestrators in the league. Still probably would be a +5 or so to this team’s...
An explainer: Daniel Theis Robert Covington Christian Wood Victor Oladipo What do these players have in common, other than being the Rockets...
Yeah we’re looking for 3 things in a center: 1. Better as a defensive center than Sengun 2. Able to stretch the floor on offense 3. Good enough...
Which teams need a PG, and can sign and trade for FVV on a big number without dealing with cap issues? Remember, receiving a player in a S&T hard...
Small chance Scoot falls, then he’s our starting PG. Otherwise FVV, Gabe Vincent, Tre Jones are starter level, fit Ime’s desired traits, fit...
I’ve come around to not wanting Harden back, even on a value deal. I think he is still very good at basketball, in terms of impact to a team’s...
