That’s exactly what’s gonna happen. As a NBA fan I did not want to see KD destroy a Rockets team that was building right. Just got impatient with the process.

You act like the Rockets gutted their team to get KD. They couldn't run it back with Jalen especially after his performance in the playoffs. Dillon was replaceable because Tari & Jabari are better than him.

The Rockets kept their young core and only got rid of Jalen who did not deserve the usage he got on this team.
 
They don’t need him to though…
They need someone to because KD ain’t enough. The whole argument in the playoffs was the Rockets needed consistent scoring and while KD is an upgrade there’s still no threat to take them over the hump. Amen should be the 3…Jabari….i don’t know maybe 6th man…..I think they need a 2 guard honestly. But I know Rockets fans gonna feel otherwise lol.

And a top 10 pick
 
As of right now I got them right behind OKC in the west. I’m waiting to see what Denver does. I also need to see what GS does. I’m not sure Memphis is done either. Should be interesting offseason…
Shit it’s too early for me to talk rankings if OKc the best then Rockets are in the same boat as last season. Not there. I’d keep making moves to improve the team. Defense got worse for sure.

For me it was about getting better. Rockets didn’t gut their team they should still be a playoff team I just don’t see how this gets them closer but I also think KD is a team killer so maybe I’m biased.
 
Brooks getting traded like a bitch in prison

I bet he gets released


Hey Dillion how you doing?

Great man, I’m excited to contribute and—

Uhhh yeah lemme stop you there. Don’t worry about unpacking or looking for a place. We’re going to release you if we can’t trade you. Right now you can stay with your family in Houston
 
What's the point of trading KD to Houston if you trade him for Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, 2 of their starters :hithead:
 
Can they do that ?
He has a monster contract
Yes they can he only got 2 years left but they would take a cap hit for sure. That’s why they don’t want too; but they should just to clean house! If I’m phoenix I’ll trade Jalen as well! I’m sure he could give them some major draft capital…
 
Imo it makes more sense to move Booker. The roster is in shambles. You might as well do a full rebuild.
I agree but they won’t! They should have traded booker to houston and got a haul! And then traded KD to whomever had the best offer! And then waived Beal…clean fucking slate!!!

Nah I don’t think houston got worse on defense and offense; my issues is will KD stay healthy and will their young players get better…

I feel this assessment! I need to see more improvement from their young players and will KD stay healthy…

I will say this, there is no more excuse. Can't blame Jalen now. If Sengun can't beat one on one defense, ALLLLLLLLLLL that blame goes on him now.
