Houston Rockets Thread '19 Preseason - The Tweet Seen Around The World

[steebie j]

I don’t mind this trade at all. While the West was bolstering their rosters, we was just sitting back doing nothing. I am interested to see how this works out.

Now let’s focus on singing a wing and big now ****.

From #sametier to the same team. Life moves expeditiously.

Next move gonna be S&T Shump

Chandler seems likely for the backup big spot (yuck but maybe he still has some more in him)...

Really want a stretch big and a versatile wing

 

[Peep Game]

For complete chaos, bring back Dwight, Parsons, and Terrence Williams

Tj too busy punching ball sacks in the PBA and Dwight get his ball sack... Actually, this may work. Pardon scrub though, bring in Perkins and Ibaka.

Sign Thabo
Get Ibaka on a buy-out or something
KD requests a trade
???
OKC Rockets
Profit

Ibaka really would be the perfect fit though. Stretch big that can play 4/5 and defend. We need some size ASAP.

Really hope S&T Shump can get us something. Is Shump, a 1st, and 2nd enough to get RoCo? I'd do that or Shump + 2nd for Iggy.

But for real, Shump and a pick could really net us somebody good. I’m hoping we bring back Faried in addition to a backup C and a wing, but I’m not sure how the money works

[second2nonee]

As expected. Some thought we might not get him cause of the CP3 factor

 

[steebie j]

I was thinking the same thing. But solid pick up nonetheless.

 

[atransta]

Hi guys

 

[Peep Game]

Somebody said Tyson was hesitant to join us with Paul and immediately joined us with Westbrook

 

[atransta]

Safe to say I never really slandered Harden since he left OKC. Glad I didn't

 

[Peep Game]

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Going to be a interesting year I love it

 

[steebie j]

I thought he was out of basketball. Didn’t know he was in the G League. Non guaranteed contract so whatever.

Feel like this is why they are giving him a shot

 

[Peep Game]

Clemons been killing it in SL, and the team has had a great general turnaround from the first two laughable games.

 

[pums]

I wish we could see how Bennet would look like in a summer league setting.

If Chiozza was part of the team last year. Clemmons has a place

 

[HOU$TON]

I like Clemons, why couldn’t he be taller lol

 

[pums]

Clemons looks smaller than IT i dont think hes 5’9

 

[Peep Game]

Clemons looks smaller than IT i dont think hes 5’9

He looks 5’6” basically built like Nate Robinson

 

[second2nonee]

Russ trade official.

Rockets didn't expand it to get any player or asset back... (roughly a free ~9.5M to work with)

That falls all on Tilman and his luxury tax savings. What a fraud

Really flabbergasted at Tilman trying to avoid the lux/repeater tax again. League is wide open this year. Rivers on a 1 year min deal, Tuck getting older, Gordon expiring. Russ and Harden entering their 30's... how do you not go all in? If they don't, they might not ever. Super disappointing.

 

[puglife]

Is there a breakdown of how much money each team made/loss last year? Curious to see where we are compared to others.
