this is my 3rd locked on rockets episode of the day, I've listening more to jackson than my gf
COMMENT: What are your predictions for Rockets free agency?
I’m tired of hearing trade kpj
Why would we want capela? I understand Lopez because he can space floor and defend and has won. Capela can do only one of those
What time Friday can teams, and players announce signings of free agents?
We seem desperate. I prefer to build this young team without paying Van Fleet a big contract. Lots of ppl complain about Harden however I know his numbers will be there and he could make this team better. Ok playoffs, with a young team he wouldn’t have to play as much. We act like Van Fleet is that guy we’ll look at there championship year he also DECLINED in the playoffs. What leadership has he shown? I’m waiting? Reality is I understand the organization and us fans want to compete for championships but with this free agency we donating money just to write off taxes.
I think the Capella deal is sound but you are right that they will have to throw in something besides Tate. Fred will want 3 years. I really don't know much about Dillon – can't say much to that deal. I still get the feeling they are going to surprise us with some crazy deal – Draymond Green? I do think they will throw some money at Lopez – but he may just turn it down.
Daishen Nix is the worst Rocket I ever watched and I've been watching for over 30 years now.
👀 everydayer
State of the rockets and now LOR.
just missed RW today
Can’t believe you guys forgot about our main tank commander.
Oladipo
Lopez
Dillin
20:17 I thought you get early bird rights after 3 years not 2?
Van fleet is locked. I would have loved to have Lopez in the team but amongst other available bigs; Capella would be have been my choice as well. However, I feel
like we all forget Garuba. He can still be an alternative in certain lineups. I certainly am not a big fan of Brooks. I would rather have Tari as 3 as a defensive wing in certain a lineup with Bari or Garuba.
