The corpse
Good pod Jackson. I was excited when the Rockets traded for AJ also, but after watching him in summer league that excitement quickly faded. I wish him the best, but he had no future here. I think the Rockets will use his contract as an expiring deal to use in trade. hopefully AJ can get his life together and return to the league with another team. every time I listen to Ime I am even more convince that we have the right coach to mature this young team. I love the news about Amen. I really believe this guy is a star in the making. I think it's going to be hard to keep him out of the starting lineup much longer. he is simply to talented. I still believe he is a swiss army knife and the Rockets will use him that way, but he has the talent to unseat one of the starters. I think the new pratice facility can help with players have plenty of room to work with coaches more one on one to grow their skill level and basketball IQ. it seems everything is progressing for the Rockets like I had hoped for.
Might be a Larry sanders type situation. They like the money but not the game.
Keep ya head up,don't get fed up. Best wishes to this young man!
I think the Rockets need to lock up Alpi with a contract so nobody can overpay for him and we have to match it. I'm not worried about anybody trying to sign Jalen to an expensive contract. No team is going to offer him anything.
Rafael is upbeat. I'm upbeat.
Who is going to take AJ's spot if he leaves? Will Stone bring Victor Oladipo back for a third time? (JK) Will he bring in Landry Shamet for outside shooting? Ime could revive that guys career. Justin Holiday is out there too. Doug McDermott might be a nice mentor for Reed Sheppard. Bismack Byiombo might be good to have in practices.
Raphael and Ime just to be in good spirits, seems like it's good vibes at the top which is important!
The title is wild wild lol😂 What Amen doing Jackson ?
