    Same. More than open to big changes, but it can’t be for Giannis Please no!

    Only really stupid people would react to Reed's poor shooting in his first playoff appearances given that he's shown all season long what caliber of shooter he is.

    As to Jalen....he was the same dogshit player the entire time he was here. He's still the same dogshit player now.

    There's really no comparison.

    The "something good" better be at least two guys who can shoot from outside because Reed and Jabari are the only shooting threats we have not named Durant.

    No doubt. I probably wouldn’t target as pure of shooters as Reed and Jabari but we could achieve better team 3 point shooting results and more volume by changing the flow with some better athletes that have a good history of making the open ones.

    Sorry, I meant to say Sengun can make a good Robin while we look for a Batman.

    Right on!

    I hope they take keep these 4. They are great players to build around!
    Should be tons of money to put the right pieces together in few years or next year , and maybe draft a good player or 2 for this team to be better than these times we are seeing now.
    Also we need new coach asap.

    By coaching changes you mean changing the coach right?

    Still very possible all these players in 3 years could all be very good. So nobody really knows.

    With the new lottery rules being hashed out, team building strategies will surely change. There could well be some market inefficiencies the Rockets could take advantage of. I just don't see this front office being able to do that.

    I would trade both the Phoenix picks and the 29 Dallas pick for a top 3 pick in this draft. Does anybody think it’s possible?
