We got rid of the selfishness in Wood and replaced him with a player who rather set up than score in Sengun. If Tate limits his tunnel vision and helps facilitates, then our offensive rating and efficiency should be much better
Tilman ended our chapter. He’s the reason CP3, Dntoni, Morey and ultimately Harden left.
We already talked about whose goin to be gm the first casualty of Tilman from this core. Only thing I envy from the Warriors franchise is the ownership willingness to spend. It’s quite admirable. It was over for us Tilmans first offseason when he refuse to go in the luxury tax to keep Ariza and replaced him with fukking James Ennis, who didn’t even make it through the season
Yup, pretty much has the highest c&s three point percentages around the league.
Green and KPJ are one of the league's best off-ball backcourts which folks don't give them enough credit for.
If Sengun can set them along with Jabari up, that offense becomes really tough to check. Ideally though again, I prefer a motion offense over heliocentric one but I think Houston has a really good advantage because they can play both styles.
I fear these young bloods are hungry and will win more games then what we are expecting, I hope they are at least bottom 3 and put themself in the race for Victor.

I don't know why you'd fear more success. I want the Rockets to win 35+ games this year and compete for the play in.
Especially if Green is showing he's got next, KPJ is sound mentally and takes another step on the court, Bari & Tari are locking opposing teams top players up and spacing the floor on offense and Sengun is avg a dbl-dbl.
If those things are happening forget about Victor our core would be in place and it's time to get serious serious about contending again. I don't wanna fall in love with this tanking mentality because even the worst record is not guaranteed the #1 pick.

That said, this year the West is probably the most stacked I've ever seen a conference in my life. Teams like Clippers/Nuggets/Pelicans are healthy with the Clippers adding some insane players from their mid-season trades last year, Wolves/Blazers made crazy additions with the Blazers gettin key guys back from injury, Warriors are the Warriors, then other play-off teams like the Grizzlies and Mavs got some big experience, etc.
Due to all that, I'm expecting their record to not nearly indicate how far they're coming along. They'll get some really good wins this season and even their losses will be a big learning experience playing against these stacked ass Western teams so it'll be interesting to see where they are at the end of the year.
That said, a bottom 5-7 record gives them an opening in the Wemby sweepstakes nonetheless, and if they miss they can still swoop up on one of the other centers like Ware or take a point-forward. Those 2023 and 2024 drafts are deep so especially with the Nets' picks Houston is set up to take great prospects both those years.
Dude can defend other SF's and be a playmaker on offense. Dude was also a 5 star(?) WR recruit.
I'm like ya'll I think they're going to make insane strides this year nonetheless, but because of how young they are and how stacked the conference is, they're record won't be as pretty as some of their Eastern conference counterparts but they'll be a better team than them.
Ya'll gotta either go 100% motion offense (got the personnel for it) or let the ball go through this guy as the Jokic point-center while Jalen and KPJ cause absolute mayhem on/off-ball and Jabari snipes:
Green, Sengun and KPJ are an ideal fit together in the modern NBA.
I like Jabari too if his defense translates (perimeter defender and roaming rim protector) and is a reliable shot maker like those two guards are at the next level.
