I have a question for guys. Who'd be ideal people in the league whether it'd be coaches or players that you'd go after to round out this roster and make them actually grow?
Stephen Silas ‘broke down in tears’ after a game earlier this year because he felt he couldn't connect with his team, per @WindhorstESPN

Lol wasn’t no point. I jsut like to lint out the obvious about Wall for his few remaining faithfuls..i'm not sure what your point is in regards to the things i said
that team just like detroit didn't have prior cache and just tried to get as many talented guys as possible. Detroit is willing to reclaim anyone and so is Houston. Compare that to Orlando and OKC. These are guys who are supposed to be on the same tier but these other teams took a leap. If the guys they want to keep stay playing in that environment it'll get worse and worse.
Turnarounds are possible. Look at the suns look at Memphis. But you need to build the right mix of vets and young guys who are talented and are at a cheap price since its their rookie contract. They already have some guys of interest in sengun, J smith, Kenyon martin who can be pros. I can't speak for the rest since I don't watch them that often. would like to include Tari Eason. Infact this is why I like having multiple picks in one draft so you get all your eggs together and push forward without having to have them get used to losing seasons like OKC has with most of the guys they have coming in within a two year period.
I agree with tryout pint about OKC and Orlando leaping hosuton. That’s because of coaching though. I blindly Expect Houston to be competitive ore competitive next season becaue we don’t have our FRP(OKC) and they all the big contract come off the books this season. We have room for multiple max slots. Silas guaranteed money is up so they can release him without any dead money.
Stone made moves or decisions based off this upcoming summer. That’s why we didn’t sign or take on any contracts pass this season. It’s all rookie deals, first contracts. Only person on a second contract is Tate. I expect a leap next season
Hire Udoka.
See if Kyrie or FVV wants to go there. If not, try to get Ricky Rubio.
Worst case, try to run the offense through Sengun.
I think things would look much different if they had a competent coach and a guy who knows what he’s doing in terms of running an offense out there.

a coach who preaches accountability. That’s the biggest issue with Silas and I’m not sure it’s all his fault but thats the culture that’s been created under his tenure. I wanted a proven coach with some pedigree. I like the names im hearing they’ll talk to: Udoka, Nurse(if permissible), Ralph Sampson
Basically Somebody who can’t be controlled or dictated by management/front office.

Kyrie ain’t the vet for These young dudes. He’ll jsut confuse and fukk them up even more than they are with his “leadership” and knowledge
After what we read how he did the Celtics youngins, no thanksThat’s the thing that really bothers me about eh reports. Ppl saying Houston hasn’t kept no vets. We had plenty of vets over the last theee years . They just weren’t these help mentoring types. That ppl keep talking about. We spent money on Theis(he made the the team on the floor worst), we brought in Nwaba, we traded for Schroeder, we traded for Augustine, we kept Eric Gordon.
We had Wood. We tried to keep Danny Green. Most these dudes aren’t interested in being that mentoring vet. The only One I saw really but into that role was Dennis Schroeder

The milk is already spoiled .
You can’t draft Jalen Green AND Josh Christopher and surround them with nikkas like Christian Wood ,KPJ a rightfully angry John Wall and a hostage like Eric Gordon during their formative years and then wonder why the culture is shytty .
they need a coach that’s gonna hold them accountable AND have a front office that’ll back him up. Problem is that not a lot of them types that can be a mentor and good at X’s and O’s walking around out there
They need vets (that can still play) more than anything in that locker room

I think they need to hit this draft with Scoot Henderson,, Amen Thompson or if they get a bad spot trade down for Anthony Black and possibly grab some professional veterans or go after a crafty veteran point guard to teach Scoot/Black how to control the NBA game - preferably one with a championship. Last year they looked insanely better when Dennis Shroeder played.
Additionally, remember Houston has a shyt load of draft picks from the Nets they can cash out on over the next few years:
2024: Nets' first round pick.
2025: First-round pick from Houston, Oklahoma City, OR Brooklyn
2026: Nets' first round pick
2027: Nets or Rockets first round pick
It's ugly right now, but they can really stack their decks if they can turn it around in the short term. Like I said, they got talent, but they are unorganized.
What I like about Black in Houston is he can have a nasty pick and roll game with Sengun because dude is nice off the ball.
Plus like from that youtube video indicates he knows how to use that height, so when teams out there try to go with a small defender on Green to keep up with the quickness Houston can flip that and place Black in the paint for one-sided mismatch/switch.
Another one I like is this Amen Thompson, I think the playmaking is special.
Dude even looks like a more special playmaker than Scoot imo:

I think they'd benefit from a guy like malcolm brodgon, marcus smart. Lowry.

In regards to Detroit our season went down when Cade was injured for the season.
Even though Dwayne Casey has irritated me, he's a made man and our young guys are learning how to be pros under his guidance.
Houston is an AAU team

The owner needs to stick to the restaurant chains.
Nggas just say anything. Silas already has a longer tenure than Nash didpeople defended Nash through allllllll kinds of shyt
tenure?Nggas just say anything. Silas already has a longer tenure than Nash did
we're talking active criticisms and defense of a coach. folks were blaming everyone BUT steve nash for that bullshyt in brooklyn
my guy people were defending nash letting KD run at center
on any given night, he didn't even know what the bonus was or when he could even make substitutions. this clown spent years acting like claxton couldn't be trusted to be tall. with hall of famers and seasoned vets, his go-to play was a screen and roll floater for Bruce Brown most nights
