Personally think he's overrated.

If you had siakam, fvv, og Anunoby, gtj, and Barnes for 66-77 games... And you're only 500 that's worrisome.

Roster construction was flawed before they brought Poeltl in. They went 14-9 once that trade was made. Masai didn't give him a legit center to balance out the roster full of wings and a bunch of undersized bigs.

I'm just thinking of all the Rockets can do this offseason. Get Nurse as the coach. Draft Wemby. Get Cam Johnson and Van Vleet as FAs. Then a S&T for Harden. All that with that young core..

We could probably jump in and pull in Sengun..

For what? Why would the Rockets want to trade Sengun?

What salary would they use? All their salary is tied up in their young core, and I doubt Philly would want KPJ. Even if they did, that's only $18mil, I'm not sure where you'll get the rest to match a Harden salary.

Sengun doesn't want to be a backup. He'll push to be moved.

I'm sure it would take a good amount to get it done. Maybe this year's 1st and an additional future 1st (?)..

I don't know. They have a ton of cap space, something like 60Mish. The only reason I thought about a S&T would be to maximize their space and get the Sixers something in return. But it may not be necessary. Maybe they only add Harden and Van Vleet of Cam Johnson, just two FAs..

I personally think a lot of those players are overrated. They wanted a ransom for OG at the deadline when the guy is a good role player nothing more. FVV is hilariously overrated and they're about to pay him 30m/yr

I don’t think Wemby is playing center right away. He’s more of a wing anyway, so that still gives Sengun minutes at center.

Nick Nurse is likely going to be the head coach of the Houston Rockets before he becomes an assistant anywhere minus like the Golden State Warriors.

Houston has- Sengun, Green, Jabari, 14% chance at Wemby, cap space, championship history, star player isn’t constantly injured and overweight.

You'd have to fire Willie, pay him, then pay Nurse near $10mil a year.


Because the team really likes Willie, but Nurse is a superior coach. Not my money. I don't gotta pinch Ms. Gayle's pennies.

There is no chance of this happening. He's a Center, will always play Center. Olajuwon and Duncan moved over to "PF" supposedly. But those teams just played with two Centers..

We should beg Nurse to be the coach.
