What will the Rockets Management do with these players?

You really included Lamb on the same list as professional basketball players. That's super generous of you.

 

You are right, his extension figure of $2,588,400 is not much by NBA standards .... extending him or not won't be about money.

Maybe it's premature to give up on him but from my perspective, he's been a total zero.

He was touted as a defensive ace and hasn't been able to stay in front of anyone at all on any level - he was getting torched in the G-League.

I'm not seeing an NBA athlete.

Then add to that his being a total negative on the offensive end to the point that teams don't bother guarding him.


Maybe the team gambles on him turning it around.

 

I look at the 2022/23 season as a try out season. Its the season where we need to find who fits, who sticks and move the rest for other needs.
I think the Rockets want to contend or at least start to look like a team that wants to win something by the 2023/24 season.

So its not just the guys mentioned in this thread on the bubble, but the whole team save 4 or 5 guys.

 

I don't know Denis Schroder situation but at the very moment he is showing to Giannis and to the world "who is the king".

A great opportunity for Rockets (sign and trade).
