Nash and GM may ask to be fired after KD is traded and they have no foreseeable draft future. 

They either get back pieces to win now or draft capital to replace what they lost with him. 
I would guess if they move him and Kyrie they could either end up an uninteresting 7 seed type with a low ceiling or collect something like 8 or 10 future draft assets.

    it means the rockets won't do something dumb like sign wood to an extension which makes it a win.  maybe they look to package 17 and 26 to move up a little?

    If the Astros hold on to the a 3 run lead in the 9th, this is a damn near perfect day to be a Horns/Houston fan. Oh well, 90% is still an A.

    Getting Bamba for the MLE isn't going to affect anyone's development, nor will it have a negative effect on the Rockets cap. They are going to have $80M to spend next year in a really shitty FA year.

So what they were without a healthy Durant and Kyrie, and before Harden destroyed their franchise. If they had just stood pat, they would be much better off. Well, at least kept Allen.

More or less. Which was why it always made sense for them to give it a shot imo. They weren’t going anywhere and had no future. Allen is nice but it’s not like he is a cornerstone. There is a reason the Rockets, in the beginnings of a rebuild- said thanks but no thanks. 

They had cornerstones in Durant and Kyrie. Allen was a great fit with those players, as he showed in Cleveland. We said no because he was never going to resign with the Rockets so you might as well get something of value for him.

we said no because we had no interest in paying him $100 million.

also i think its funny you say harden destroyed that franchise when the evidence is pretty overwhelming that kyrie is mostly responsible for that.

It is accurate to say the harden trade wrecked them more than harden himself.

if kyrie had just gotten vaxed a lot of their issues probably wouldn't have become issues.

There’s still hope they will do something boneheaded like trade Kyrie for Westbrook. Nash and Durant will have a great working relationship this season regardless.

just need to root for it to fall apart again this season.  if that happens, my guess is KD will want out again and there will be no changing his mind.

Thank goodness that OKC fell in love with Chet early. Why is he playing in a pro/am game?

yes and correct, wtf was he doing in a pro/am game ?

Isn't that the same type of injury that ended Yao Ming's career? This is not good for Chet, but I do hope he makes a full recovery.

We should all be glad that he didn't end up on the Rockets. I don't get how people looked at him and didn't realize he was a glaring injury risk the way his body is constructed. 

Apparently Garuba sharted himself during the Euro World Cup qualifier. At least people can no longer say he isn’t producing shit.

Oh, I absolutely knew he was an injury risk, I just would have done it in a heartbeat as I think he has so much upside that you have to roll the dice on him.  
There's a timeline where this is actually good for them as he sits out, gets healthy and they get to tank another year and it's like adding in 2 top 5/top 10 picks.  

Cleveland is all-in. I'd float Gordon for LeVert and a future 1st and see if they bite. Then look to move LeVert for another pick.

They are the Mariners of the NBA

Houston throws in a first?

What’s their current win projection? I could see the Rockets winning around 25 games. 
 

Utah might be the worst team in the history of the NBA. We’ll need some luck to land Victor.

Fan of broken tarsals, eh?

Pretty good first game for the rookies. 

Jabari Smith Jr.: 21 PTS, 8 REB, 5 3PM
Tari Eason: 21 PTS, 10 REB, 2 STL

Didn't even notice the preseason had started but yeah definitely a good look for them.

Not such a good look for the backcourt though....

6 of 21 shooting is not going to cut the mustard.

Why has smith been out the last two games? Is he hurt?

Ankle injury.

Tari Eason is looking like a fucking steal.

I imagine the best starting lineup with the current Rockets roster would be: Kevin Porter Jr, Jalen Green, Tari Eason, Jabari Smith, and Alperen Sengun.

The Rockets are looking like they could have a solid 10 man rotation to start the season.
