I dunno how realistic it'll be but i really hope they make a push for rondo or carmelo in the offseason. no disrespect to whatever combination of asik/parsons/lin has to greet some bushes in the process.
the way things are going, i can see the rockets squeezing into the 2nd round depending on the matchup (portland, warriors, grizz, suns mavs) but i just don't see it ending well after that/if that vs the thunder clips or spurs. Even vs the spurs, who the rockets have gotten the better of in the regular season, i just think they're gonna be a whole different animal than what we've seen and that was before beverly got hurt. the current make up of the team still needs either better ball control/decision making (rondo) or another impact scorer who they can simply throw the ball to in the post for automatic points and double teams (Melo), which would further simplify the role of the pgs (i.e. just bring the ball up the court without fukkin up) and give a reliable alternative focal point on offense when harden is out or the offense is struggling. Not sayin it has to be one of those 2 but shyt lol, those would be the high end prospects
