2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
LCHorn replied to BigOrange1's topic in Basketball
I’d think Durant taking a couple more threes a game would be just as impactful. -
Oh come on, I wouldn’t put the value at $0, my point is that presuming a prospect rated at “50” on a bunch of prospect lists has value worth $20m or whatever and therefore should be seen as a match for a 1.5 WAR MLB player isn’t always a good way to evaluate player acquisition merits.

You’re omitting the $20m St. Louis is sending the Sox. That’s a huge part. You know what else sells merchandise? A World Series championship.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
LCHorn replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
I think we’ve discussed lots of ways this whole thing may mature, but probably a relatively predictable one will be for money to accrue mostly to players that look to play early rather than based on their ceiling (the former will be a product of talent, physical maturity, but also depth chart). Obviously position will play a big role (you’ve got to pay for QB’s even if they are riding pine, probably less so for two reserve WR). -

My guess is these guys aren’t demanding much in NIL money and we’re close enough to the end of the season that it’s clearer which players will be expecting a raise and how much needs to be allocated for portal recruits. -
That very much remains to be seen-moreover, it need not be one or the other. We have a lot of innings that need to be replaced and one of those starters needs to be of the type can follow Brown in a short series. I don’t think 2025 Verlander is a good bet for that (another way to say it that his declining velocity and pitch efficacy are fine to fill a few innings but aren’t good bets against a team grinding out at bats in a five game series). As far as the contract, it’s effectively a one year deal for $21m. That fits fine in our budget and it’s just a short-term commitment. @Wulaw Hornis going to come in here and start talking about the value/cost of a win and @Snake Diggity will talk about the presumed value of the prospects, but the cold reality is that the price of acquisition doesn’t truly matter if you don’t have alternatives available.

Amen always shows such a chill sense of humor in these videos. -
Damn, Sonny Gray off the board-to the Red Sox for a lotto ticket hard throwing lefty 2024 5th rounder along with $20 m to offset his salary. That’s a fucking steal and Brown should have been all over it.

I like Mama Betty’s-I’d rather have a meal there than fucking Le Calamar that everyone on the austin food subreddit continually touts. There’s an insufficient number of “this is good enough for the money” restaurants in Austin, particularly (somewhat) central. Also, maybe they’ll pull some overflow from El Dorado and I’ll be able to eat there again without a 1.5 hour wait.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

None of this is terribly shocking since the only thing the GOP constituent groups can agree on is that they hate paying taxes. -

I just looked them up and you’re right-though a lot of that appears unsustainable (and once Green comes back he’ll hopefully downgrade their performance). -
I’ve been procrastinating on this, but acquired all of the ingredients for Rick Bayless’ Black Mole recipe a while ago and finally decided to make it in advance of Thanksgiving. Recipe for the Unitiated I’ll spoiler the ingredients because otherwise it will give you nightmares worse than a certain OU cheerleader. Toasting the chilis… Ready for rehydration.. Post blending… Skipping ahead 12 hours (including the destruction of my kitchen because making mole is fucking messy)… It is, in fact, a good bit darker in person. Just added salt and sugar per the recipe and it’s amazing. I’m going to let it cool, refrigerate, then bring it to temp on Thanksgiving, adding more salt and sugar as needed (Bayless says it’ll need more of both as the flavors meld). If anyone is inspired, the hardest part is that it’s labor intensive, particularly toasting the chilis (though they are more forgiving than a roux). The Bayless recipe also says it’ll produce 2-3 quarts but this is an 8 quart pot and I’d guess there is 6-7 quarts in there and it’s pretty thick.

He’s kind of famous for being an absentee father. I can’t recall the exact story but it was something like he didn’t see his kids for two years or so after his first divorce).

I’d be bringing in a senior punter and kicker every year. Maybe Hill leaves, but if his NFL projection is the current Dane Brugler reported Rnd 2-3 then I’d encourage him to come back. Otherwise, you’ve got a senior Lefau and Junior TyAnthony playing 80% of the LB snaps, I.e., I’m not sure you need to add here. If McDonald leaves (along with Taffe), maybe you bring in a safety but we’ve had lots of growing pains with Filsaime and Williams Jr to avoid having continuity issues here (I.e., if we need to add then it’s a failure of our coaching to develop). Kind of the same thing at O-Line-good teams shouldn’t necessarily be replacing three starters every year but they should be replacing 1-2.

I think it’s telling that our pass pro has improved a good bit as the lineman get more experience but our backs still can’t get 4 yards. I wonder if we need to add 2 RB, not just one. Tech, to use them as a comparison, has two sophomore backs that are averaging 5 yards a carry and I’m sure didn’t get a sniff of Texas attention. Hell, one of them is from Austin.
