This Rockets rebuild must be the strangest I’ve ever seen.
They spend a couple years gathering young talent, then suddenly they are in nearly every rumor for a star player or veteran role player, and give high salaries (too high IMO) to FVV and Dillon Brooks.
What am I missing?
Brooks contract just makes no sense. There couldn’t have been many teams interested in him
Yeah I don’t know either, it looks highly questionable given they have Jalen Green, KPJ plus they drafted Amen Thompson. I’m not a Rockets fan but I’d love to know their thoughts on it - and I hope a year of Sengun doesn’t go to waste because that guy was already having trouble finding playing time under Silas.
They realized their young chuckers need some guidance in chucking so they got some of the best chuckers on the market.
more realistically, the owner is a cheap ass fuckin mobster who will never pay enough for Houston to have a competent FO or coaching staff and he will not pony up to pay players when the time comes. Harden was incredibly wise to ask out and im a huge harden hater
edit: I will give massive props to their scouting though. They really seem to knock it out of the park in the draft. Heres hoping the man fired for sexual harassment can create a proper culture of accountability for these young guys
Maybe they’re “rebuilding to be competitive and get people to buy tickets” instead of “rebuilding to win it all.” Tilman Fertitta needs to recoup his losses from his hotel during the pandemic, after all.
Yeah what they’re doing this offseason is strange
