If he can have 80 catches for 1200 yards and 13 TDs with Baker Mayfield, he should have 150 for 2500 and 25 TDs with CJ.

Are you projecting him for only half a season?

I like that they aren't pushing all the chips in for upgrades this season.

Solid acquisition to back up Boban.

I wonder if they are planning to trade someone, or have him play 28 minutes when Jabari or Sengun are on the bench, or Jabari plays a little of the 3 position

Jeff Green won't be here next year. He's essentially taking his role as backup center…just a more traditional backup center now instead of a smaller guy.

He's probably a 25mpg guy next year and if Sengun stays as a 33mpg guy, that is 58mpg for center, but giving each guy rest days, that probably works out about right. I would assume they get limited time together and you have Brooks, Eason, Jabari, Cam rotating at 3/4.

Boban and Adams are 2 guys who have hit 3 Southwest division teams.
I wonder how many other guys there are. Ish Smith probably.

OKC is in the Northwest Division.

Avery Johnson, Mark Bryant, Kevin Willis, and Boban are the only four players to play for the three Texas teams. Not sure who else would be included if you extended it to the Pellies and Grizz. Chris Paul will probably do it at some point.

Yes, OKC is in Northwest Division, but Adams has now been with the Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Rockets.

Boban getting garbage time minutes and Landale glued to the bench. I wonder if there is a trade brewing.

I would be ecstatic if we got him off our books.

Jock's contract is unguaranteed after this season, so he won't hurt at all even if he isn't traded.

Jock got some run last night so that pokes holes in my theory. Apparently he had a small injury keeping him on the bench in the prior game.

I think we might be stuck with this squad for the remainder of the season unless some GM gets really horny for Tate and his 29% 3pt field goal percentage.

Being reported that we were ready to include Jalen in a package for Mikhail Bridges. That may have been before Ime lit a fire under Jalen that has led to some improvement recently.

I think Bridges is a good player, but imo he's not worth what Brooklyn is asking

Yeah, I don't think he is a #1 player on a championship team. He's a great piece to build with and I think he would fit well on the Rockets. New Orleans is apparently pushing for him as well.

FVV out with a shoulder injury, no timetable for return. My guess it will be at least 2 weeks.

I like Amen but he can't shoot. Opposing teams will just pack the paint against us. FVV wasn't the most efficient shooter, but at least he had some street cred to keep the defense semi-honest. I think this is where the season falls apart...

According to Lowe, Rockets offering Brooklyn their picks back in exchange for Bridges.

Brooklyn not ready to blow it up, but they should do it.

Jalen has grabbed a total of 15 rebounds in the last 5 games.

It's safe to say he did not turn a corner.

His inconsistency and lack of growth is maddening.

Down for the count with Covid and I have the time to watch my first rockets game in a while

1. Watching the Aggies so much, it's hard to see my team get out-rebounded and out-hustled
2. There's too many knicks fans at this game. Audible cheers on the TV when they score and MVP chants for Brunson
