[Kelly Iko] : After dreadful season-ending loss at home, the Rockets have questions about future

The Rockets should have questions about the present rather than the future: Ime Udoka and Rafael Stone.

Stop blaming the players' potential. This squad performed worse than their flaws.

 

Coach Ime and Durant look like they need some moisturizer.

 

This right here. Do our young players have flaws? Absolutely. But the coaching scheme never puts them in a place to work as a team to overcome those flaws, it's always individual effort. It's the worst coached offense in the league. We're stuck with clap clap play harder 2.0.

 

We need an angel investor to pay Tito a ransom for the team. As much as I hate Cuban, I would take him in a second over Tito’s money grubbing ass.

 

James Harden would've fixed our offensive flaws...he is The System

 

Michael Pina: Rockets will look at Giannis, Kawhi, Mitchell
Athletic: Rockets will look at Giannis, Kawhi, Mitchell
Iko: Rockets will look at Giannis, Kawhi, Mitchell

Tillman is making a mistake not making changes now.

As Iko is now reporting, it looks like Tillman has given the front office and coaches the nod of approval that he will give them another season to put forth their vision.

This is where organizations get in big trouble though, and you can already see it with the coaches that they were obviously pushing Stone to spend assets to get bench help at the trade deadline. And the first priority now this offseason looks like Stone will be looking at big game hunting to get another big name star past his prime.

This signals desperation and it also puts the front office and coach in a position where they could give two sh$ts about future draft picks.

I hate this situation and I can all but guarantee Stone is about to start gutting our future to buy himself a longer runway or a shot at a grand slam. Almost all GM’s in his position do this and it almost always goes poorly, and two years from now we as fans are left with a new GM and coach coming in with a tanking team that has virtually no draft picks left but again banking on that one pick the next summer that is the one pick the league rules wouldn’t allow the prior GM to trade.

Better enjoy next season folks… rough waters await past it.

 

I can't believe i'm about to say this but axe Ime and go get Steve Kerr.

 

"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor....and surviving."

Older, expensive f*ckers that won't stay healthy, much less age like fine wine...
SMH
Its the opposite direction than we need to be going
Trade KD and Sengun for young players and picks.
Extend the timeline.

 

Sad that it’s such an obvious hire they should pursue but it would never happen because of politics.

 

Can’t run a Sengun centric offense. That’s the crux of the issue. Either run a Sengun centric offense or not. If not then the offense would revolve around Durant and Amen. One issue is Amen can’t shoot and needs to be in the paint which is where Sengun operates at. They may be more dynamic but that means less Sengun like how they played in the Silas years. But since Sengun is a good one on one player and can pass, Udoka runs the offense thru him if Durant doesn’t have the ball—which is exactly what you all wanted Udoka to do post Silas.

That’s the sole issue of this team . I said it before that no teams in the league have 2 primary scorers who can’t shoot more than 10 ft. It’s that simple

 

Correct. James Harden has no flaws in the playoffs. 100% would have saved our season. Meanwhile struggling to put away the Raptors over in the Leastern conference.

 

That's a whole lot of injury prone old players. Only one that fits the timeline would be Mitchell.

Please, no more old guys. Let's go younger and healthier.

 

No to Kawhi, FFS that guy barely plays.

Mitchell is the best of the bunch in my opinion, but he’s not worth a bunch of draft capital and/or Amen and Jabari. They have absolutely no need for Sengun or KD.
