We'll have the assets by the time the Bronny James draft class rolls around if we start the rebuild now. We need to look at that!


I think you're better off unloading everything Hinkie style and hope to land somebody, maybe Bronny James.

Holding Embiid now on a team that's clearly not contending does the rockets no good and he won't be happy there.

I just don't know if Daryl Morey is going to be on board with that total rebuild plan. Even during his worst years as the Rockets general manager, and without any superstars, he still had the Rockets finishing 9th place in the Western Conference three straight years when they should've been tanking. Barely missing the playoffs and always competing with the likes of Kevin Martin and Goran Dragic. They kept getting mediocre lottery picks. 14th pick two straight years and then they had the 12th, 14th and 18th pick in 2012. Nabbing Jeremy Lamb, Royce White and Terrence Jones. Some of those assets eventually led to the James Harden trade.

Now imagine if the rockets had way more assets(any decent player or two) than those bums to begin with and added Harden, they'd have a championship by now.

We had a chance two years ago on a 65-win team. Chris Paul's hamstring will always be a trivia question.
Harden, Paul and Westbrook are still searching for that ring. At least Dwight Howard may get it this year.

Embiid is now a father


Quote
Joel announced he and girlfriend Anne De Paula are now the proud parents of baby boy, Arthur Elijah De Paula Embiid. The name Arthur comes in honor of Joel’s brother, who tragically died in 2014 at the age of 13.
