@Beanie13072 And that is the correct comp fo Sengun right now.

@BiasedHouston We are still lacking shooting with one of them on the roster too.

@larryislegend A fully healthy Embid is better than Jokic. We just don’t see that version of Embid so we forget.
English
No. Not even close. Joel is like a tier or two below where Jokic sits.
NBA Memes@NBAMemes
Is Joel Embiid better than Nikola Jokic now? 🤔
English
@MadManLeaks @RedNinetyFour @RocketsfanSid Not knowing the details of the contract but is there offset language where if he gets a job then that would offset the owed salary?
English
@RedNinetyFour @RocketsfanSid I figured he would at least get another year.
English
Not a serious organization.

The Houston Rockets are NOT expected to fire Ime Udoka this summer, per @sam_amick “While Udoka will certainly be under fire for the part he played in the collapse, he signed a lucrative multiyear extension last summer that most league observers believe should shield him from being fired.” (nytimes.com/athletic/72330…)
English
@HorryForThree KD is going to be a 2nd or 3rd team All Pro. That’s damn good.
English
Teams in the playoffs go as far as their best players take them. Who is the alpha player on the Rockets? The obvious answer is KD. But even healthy, where does he really rank in the NBA right now?
English
@JeremyBranham This is the season where teams and agents say shit to get engagement. Why would Boston trade a top 5 player this year that is relatively healthy for the older declining player and to give them picks as well.
English
@UncleT____ Not sure if he’s that anymore. And then we are really retooling the roster. Although more Jabari at the 5 is intriguing. Are you trading KD or are you going with both Giannis and KD
English
@jbear44pdx But the extension is apart of it, so for that reason it’s a no. I don’t think he’s a full max player in that range.
Giannis or nothing. I’m only trading for a sure fire top 5 player, Giannis is that.
English
Only one name on this list makes any sorta sense. Everything else would be a terrible overreaction
Fullcourtpass@Fullcourtpass
The Rockets will discuss the potential additions of the following players among others, per @KellyIko - Kawhi Leonard - Donovan Mitchell - Giannis Antetokounmpo - Joel Embiid (sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/af…)
English
@UncleT____ I’m with you on the extension part but I’m playing him next to Amen so I think his size can be mitigated.
English
@jbear44pdx I would not trade for Spida. Wouldn’t even consider it.
It would have to be FVV, DFS, Adams & a pick or something for me to even THINK about it.
I have no interest in a 30 yr old small guard who’s set to make 50 mil & wants a bigger extension. No deal
English
@Beanie13072 @spacecityno2x The trade for KD was fine. The decision to build a roster on double bigs with limited data was their biggest fault. Once you lost Jalen and Brooks you needed to invest in another guard with some shooting and ball handling ability.
English
@spacecityno2x Sengun is Exibit A of that bad construction. Sengun is not good enough to believe this team should help him. Sengun is the Help
English
I don’t really understand the Sengun slander, this roster construction is horrible im not blaming him for anything…
English
@ChrisYBaldwin @RedNationBlogga The haters can say what they want on Jabari but out of the core he gets it. I hope this team finds a way to expand his role.
English
Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. on what this young core learned having to play without Kevin Durant this playoff series: "I think playing without him just showed me how much we need to work on as far as just being able to do more. Everybody say they want more. More of an offensive role. More shots. More touches. But don't know what come with it.
"To be able to play against all types of defenses and adjust on the fly is something that is a skill. Something that I've got to get better at."
Very mature outlook from the 22-year-old Smith on the reality of the responsibility that needs to come with guys wanting bigger roles.
Chris Baldwin@ChrisYBaldwin
Houston Rockets come off the Toyota Center floor after seeing their season end here in 1st round of playoffs for 2nd straight year. Alperen Sengun is among many players who acknowledge the fans. The injured, hurting Kevin Durant is one of last guys off and he waves to fans too.
English
@MadManLeaks @RooshWilliams @BobbyRockets29 You got to have size or elite athleticism to be a superstar. Reed’s not it. His ceiling is Mark Price. That’s pretty damn good but not a superstar. Amen is your best hope at that label.
English
@RooshWilliams @BobbyRockets29 Lol it’s so funny how we do this after the results of every game.
English
@UncleT____ Saw too many times Smart and Kennard were guarding Bari in the paint and the did not look his way
English
Are we not watching? Lakers switching everything.
That’s how you turn teams into heavy iso. They are basically saying you have no one to score one v one against anyone on the court.
Reed cant get by AYTON, Alpi cant score 1v1 because, won’t post Bari, Tari wild
A ✩@adryanashton
just don’t understand why the Rockets started playing stagnant again all of a sudden, there has been no ball/player movement. just a tape of everyone trying to go iso
English
@righttimebomani @FDSportsbook They won 50+ games so that says they are pretty good. Just not good enough in a packed West. But I agree with you on the fact that the Durant discourse has become absurd.
English
The hate Kevin Durant is getting is absurd 😳
“This team just isn’t that good.”
@fdsportsbook
English
The Rockets defense has been atrocious late in this quarter…#Sarge
English
@BossCowboySport If they got a 1st or 2nd I would be ecstatic.
English
If the Ravens are not willing to give up an equivalent of 2 first rounders, then this rumor is bs.
NFL Rumors@nflrums
The Baltimore Ravens could have interest in TRADING for Cowboys George Pickens This could be bad deal for Steelers
English
@ZachWolchuk I think both teams come out good. Cowboys can use 4 on a top defensive player and 12 on one of those WRs and use 39 on another defensive player.
English
@UncleT____ I agree but Ime should consider Jabari at the 5.
English
No NBA team should be losing to another by 35 points, ESPECIALLY a playoff team. This isn’t AAU
B. Scott from Hiram Clarke@brandonkscott
To the fully healthy No. 1 seed defending champions. If you don’t see the difference, I can’t help you.

@UncleT____ The Lakers are running pick n roll on him with great success.
