I don’t know where you got that pic from, but that’s not gonna be the starting lineup because Murray and White will be the starting backcourt. Bellineli probably won’t see any real PT if he doesn’t get moved.

The starting 5 will probably usually be...

Murray
White
Derozen
Morris
Aldridge

Aldridge will play the 4 a lot too with Poetl at the 5. Carroll and Gay can play the 3 and the 4. Lonnie Walker is an athletic freak and has huge upside at SG.

They don’t have superstar talent on the roster but they have as good depth as anyone.

They're doing what Houston said... everyone is for sale.

:russ:the Rockets be pump faking like Ainge...Every year around draft time Morey offers up a gang of useless probably highly protected first rd picks and leaks it out to the media and starts rumors about how they are going after a start...shyt is clock work just like you will always here about Ainge trying to get a trade done and offering a ton of assets supposedly but the team turned him down or the Lakers/Knicks signing top free agents.

welp at this point we see the direction they are going so it's rebuild time in OKC...I thought they may of tried to swerve us all and make a move to remain a playoff team just to appease the fan base but they said fukk it blow it in place.

They could still just be thinking let’s get under the luxury tax and still try to make one of the last playoff spots though that would be pretty foolish.

At this point blow it up

You have a ton of picks already and if you eventually get rid of Russ and Adams you’re also gonna be adding high picks in the next three or four drafts because there gonna be real bad

Other teams refuse to work with the Rockets. (OKC NYK, MIN) Ainge sits on players like Terry Rozier. It's not the same at all.

Minnesota owner literally came out and said he didn't want to make a superteam in Houston so he stonewalled Morey.

What Made Glen Taylor, Tom Thibodeau Strongly Agree To Not Trade Jimmy Butler To Rockets

Teams deal with the Rockets but they always put their names out there for damn near any star...And yes Ainge I think over values his assets to be honest...I wasn't implying it was the same other than it's the same stuff that happens with those squads every season.

That’s a deep team no way pop doesn’t get it in the playoffs.

wonder if they'll trade Steven Adams too...contract is up in summer of 2021, as is Westbrook's

which team needs Adams? MIN, SAC? :jbhmm:

sac is good at the center now....Teams who could use a Center like Adams are Atlanta, Hornets, Cavs, Twolves, Wizards or possibly be a part of a Westbrook trade....I like Adams as a big man he is efficient, tough, sets great screens, rebounds, and is physical but that only fits so many teams. He's also young.

I'm not sure if the Hawks would like him but I could see something around Adams for Chandler Parsons :russ:

Hawks:
C:Adams/Len
PF:Collins/Spellman
SF:Hunter/Reddish/
SG:Huerter/Crabbe/Bembry
PG:Young/Turner

that's a tough squad get some shooters and a veteran
