+ Wemby/Scoot + Quin Snyder as head coach + Focus the offense on JG/Sengun 2-man game + KPJ as a 6th man + Trade EG + Sign a vet who will actually be a good teacher (dream scenario for me is Harden)
Wish-list 0. Gordon to Phx (3 way with Bucks) to bring back expirings, talent and picks (done this season) 1. Wemby (kicks off the off-season in style!) 1.5 Colby Jones (at pick 27) 2. Supermax for Harden (for 2 years) 3. Trade for OG Anunoby 4. Use MLE or vet min to bring in some vet bigs Harden / KPj / Jones (#27) Green / Nwora (in deal 0) / Mathews Wembanyama / RLopez / Fernando Smith / OPorter / Roby Anunoby / Tate / Beauchamp (in deal 0) Should be good enough to make the playoffs
1). Top 2 pick 2). Fire Silas and replace with great coach 3). Trade EG 4). Move KPJ off the ball 5). Consolidate prospects with a trade 6). Convert 2023 Milwaukee pick into a future asset. 7). Severo playing on my wedding night
-Wemby/Scoot -Sign FVV -Package KPJ, Gordon, picks and other youngsters TyTy, Garuba, KMJ, Jaygup for ex for a disgruntled near star. Lavine is a possibility or Myles Turner. Lots of possibilities depending on how the draft goes. If you get Wemby could he play along Sengun and Smith at the 3? If you get Scoot maybe you go Turner, Sengun, and Smith at the 3. I think the key to unlocking this team is to use Sengun like Denver uses Jokic. We need a steadier, headier player at PG and an upgrade at SF.
Wemby and Scoot Henderson Coach K with both Snyder and L Brown as associate HC KPJ can start the SF experiment to stroke Stones ego of not giving up on his best trade to date as a GM Sell EG at the nearest pawn shop Sign vets who can contribute and be a good teacher by example and vocally Pipedream wishlist
I wish for the Space Stone to teleport the ball from the rockets hands into the hoop. It's the only way we'll ever score efficiently.
Rockets practice attendance schedule to be posted online. Asterisk if players show up late. (/part trolling... they wont do this but public shaming might be the only way to restore culture) Written tests on fundamental concepts, scouting reports and defensive topics. Literally teach and test their bball IQ. Scores posted online. Leaderboard in locker room for unselfish stats like 1) box outs (for bigs) 2) hockey assists A new state of the art training facility. Development is the main focus. Give them the best. If optionality results to attract free agents, these amenities will sway. Soft serve ice cream for Rockets media members at the break room. Rockets having a designated team to upload post game conference on a YT channel. Keep the eyeballs and interest on your team. Team losing=waning interest... things like coverage should be easy, don't make it hard on your fans trying to follow your team. More 2xL and 3xL city editions hoodie in Rockets Shop. They usually run out of stock mid season. Sell Rocket players Bobbleheads on Rockets Shop. Where is the Rockets Boban merch? New coaches and maybe a new GM. Wemby
Fire Silas Fire Silas Fire Silas Fire Silas Fire Silas Fire Silas Fire Silas Fire Silas Fire Silas Fire Silas
top 2 pick Replace Silas and the entire coaching staff Trade KPJ, Gordon, Nix Sign some good culture FA give Alpi the damn ball let him cook 35 min/night new owner
Top 2 pick fire the complete coaching staff except Lucas Develope a team first culture Aquire a vet PG vor structure and leadership Trade EG improve every year esp on the defensive end
Acquire a really old vet PG and soon to retire defensive anchor. Maybe Tristan Thompson and Corey Joseph. That's pretty much it. Sengun/Garuba/Thompson > let Garuba and Thompson compete for backup minutes Jabari/KJ Tate/Tari Green/KPJ Joseph/KPJ/Tyty > let them compete based on off ball effort and setting up the offense That's 11 players. You still have Christopher, Nix and Bruno on the roster. Plus of course our draft pick. I think that team makes the playoffs through the playins. So exciting to think about these young guys a year older, surrounded by well placed vets and an organization that actually WANTS to win. Our young guys have had it rough for a rebuild.
• Draft Wemby • Sign Myles Turner • Trade Sengun, protected pick, and salary fillers for OG. • Trade EG • Trade KJ or Tari along with the bucks pick to move up and draft Gradey Dick. • Stone backs off and let Silas coach, give him 15 games with this roster.
