Haven't watch them to much but what else. Not defense. So running the point I assume?

He's actually a very solid defender. Gets steals and deflections at a pretty high rate. He also has excellent court vision.

Why would he not take Van Vleet out there on that defensive possession. He was absolutely a defensive liability the last 3-4 minutes of this game.

This almost guarantees we run them out the gym this Wednesday.

It would be a good time to break the streak. 15 straight losses to GS is ludicrous.

Last night was my first time this year where I was determined to not work a few more hours and enjoy the Rockets.

Jabari Smith is rapidly finding his way down (or up) my list of least-favorite Rockets of all time.

He's not into Kelvin Cato land just yet, but he knows how to get there.

He had a very good November, I will say. If that was just a temporary thing, then ya, he ain't getting a fat deal from us next summer.

Van Vleet not play tonight with a sore knee.

Amen Thompson gets the start. At halftime he's got 9 points 4, assists, 3 rebounds and is +13

I wonder if Reed Sheppard makes 3s in practice because he can't seem to shoot in actual games...

I've seen multiple reports of the Rockets trading for Jimmy Butler(nothing reputable) besides the betting lines.

What would we honestly give up for a 35 year old?

Brooks
Steven Adams
Reed?
Picks?

I'm not sure he's worth all that much besides the heat dumping his salary.

Butler is shooting 56/36/79 this year for 19/5/5. Pretty solid numbers still.

Rockets could do straight up FVV + picks for him.

Or a deal would need to be multiple players, starting with Dillon Brooks.

Brooks+Jabari+Unc Jeff works financially. You could sub Adams for Jabari.

Any other combination needs 4 players going out, unless you get a third team involved.

Not even touching on the picks, not sure what that would require. I don't really know how to evaluate it with Jimmy's age and that he will be a FA this summer.

I wonder if having Jimmy or Sengun being the primary initiator without a real PG would work in the FVV trade. As great as Amen has played, he doesn't look ready to be the primary PG on offense. So Sengun, Jimmy, Holliday and hope that Amen or Reed takes the leap?

I still wouldn't do it. At 35 years old and a ton of mileage, I don't think he adds much to this team right now.

Sengun / Adams
Jabari / Eason
Butler / Amen
Brooks / Reed
Green / Holiday

That's a pretty spicy team. But I would worry most about the the play creation.



Green and Sengun can't be traded until after the season.

You could also add Landale and Green to the trade and take back Rozier. That gives them 3 guys with no guaranteed salary next year, saves them 15M this year (getting them under the luxury tax completely) and flexibility going forward. But they better tank quick to a top pick this year.

Pretty ugly offensive quarter / great defensive quarter to start for both teams.

Rockets up 20-18 after 1.

Outside of a 90-second stretch, Jalen has been horrible tonight. Already 5 turnovers and getting worked by Steph of all people

11-2 GS run out of that time out, not looking great with the starters back in. 42-37, with 1:20 left
