Rockets have instantly become one of the most unlikeable team in the league.

How are people posting tweets? It's DOA right now...

Also expected rumoured deal coming through. Udoka wanted mature vets so I don't know how this fits but ok...

Imagine a locker room with Dillon and Kevin Porter Jr, what a positive influence it could be for the youngsters there.

Don’t like it. Houston needs shooting. Sengun can’t, and the youngsters are all inconsistent with it. Brooks is not a guy you want the ball swinging to in the corner

Man why not just do a sign and trade with the Raptors so we can get the huge trade exception.

Rockets seem a little bit lost on what kind of players to invest their money...

As another poster said here already in the FVV thread, their owner seems to have the GM on a strict Un-Organic rushed timeline to be "competetive" . Thus u have these overpays and illfitting complimentary players. Dont get me wrong i do think Dillon can play the PJ Tucker role for someone but not with this group
