  1. They want to play a shit load of two bigs. Maybe we see a lineup of Thompson, Eason/Smith, Durant, Sengun/Adams/Capela.
  2. He has no rotation spot anymore. He's not a guard and the wings are now Durant, Smith, Thompson, Eason, and Finney-Smith.
  3. Yeah, that would be unbelievable for the Astros. That dude's head was never right this season, hopefully the Astros can un-aggy him.
  4. I don't see how he makes sense, when we need guards and not other forwards, unless we are trading Eason and/or Whitmore for that guard. He's a great role/bench player and I would like to have him, but VanVleet and Sheppard are the only true guards on the roster at this time. Tyus Jones makes much more sense and has shown to be a more consistent shooter, Ty Jerome would also be a better fit.
  5. Well, when Altuve isn't playing in the field, the Astros have one of the best defenses in baseball too.
  6. Bullpen is the only reason we are 16 games over. I expected bounce backs from Abreu and Hader, but the lefty cabal we got working has been amazing. My #2 is Brown becoming an ace even though baseball refuses to recognize it.
  7. It was reported no team or player options a true 5 year deal.
  8. Love the deal for Jabari. He's a quality rotational player but not a star. If he develops into a elite 3 and D wing, the contract is great.
  9. How they ace their offseason: You could make the argument Houston has done it already. In a period of two weeks, the Rockets traded for Kevin Durant and agreed to new contracts for Fred VanVleet, Aaron Holiday, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green. They also signed coach Ime Udoka to an extension. The Durant trade was significant not just because the team acquired a top-10 player but also because its depth was kept largely intact. One move they should make: Let's expand this to multiple moves. The first is to sign Dorian Finney-Smith (if he opts out of his contract with the Lakers) to a two-year, $28 million contract. The VanVleet restructured contract (they reduced his $44.9 million team option to nearly $20 million) gives Houston the flexibility to use the full non-tax midlevel exception and not exceed the first apron. The team would, however, need to waive the $8 million non-guaranteed contract of Jock Landale. The second and most important move is to sign Durant, Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason to extensions. Smith and Eason are eligible to sign until Oct. 20, and Durant has until June 30, 2026, to take a two-year deal.
  10. Cleveland just traded for Lonzo Ball, could mean that they expect Ty Jerome to leave via FA. I'd take him over the guy from Minnesota.
  11. I believe he's also a UFA and there are only a few teams that have cap space and none of those teams are going to be playoff teams. The Rockets should offer their entire MLE and make this an easy decision.
  12. We are currently under the LT, so we have access to the full MLE which is the NT MLE. If we used all that, we'd be going into the LT. Cutting Landale and renouncing Holliday would allow the Rockets to use the full MLE and stay under the LT. With the upcoming extensions to Durant, Smith, and Eason the Rockets really want to hold off on going into the LT for as long as possible.
  13. Walter was at 85 I itches and cruising. Espada loves making blowouts close by over managing. Can we fuxking DFA Ort and Hernandez and go get a real MLB pitcher, with Gusto moving into the pen now that Lance is back.
  14. There is no way we have enough matching salaries for Brown now.
  15. The lineup needs to be refigured. Smith needs to be in the Top 4, and Meyers never needs to leave the 9th spot. If Alvarez makes it back it needs to be Pena, Smith, Alvarez, Paredes, Altuve, Diaz, Walker, FA, FO
  16. How are you not tagging on that fly ball? Holy shit, this fucking team is so lazy.
  17. Abreu is coming in even though he was overused last week.
  18. So, why did Espada pull Brown? Arms don't fall off at 100 pitches.
  19. Fuck. Why are you swiging at that shit? This team has no idea how to hunt pitches to drive in runs.
  20. Productive outs are good.
  21. We can defintely rule out Fibonacci.
