Our problems with most of you Houston sports podcasters is that you guys lack patience which a very good virtue to have. you can destroy what you spend 4 good years building bcos impatience. De’Aaron Fox you’re clamoring for is a career 33% 3pt shooter and 32% this season. How does that help space the floor for Amen and Sengun to attack downhill. Going forward Jalen & Amen should our back court,period. Okc is reaping the result of patience bro why can’t we do same.

Portland doesn't want cap relief. It literally has no value to them. They want valuable assets, cap space is not an asset. Even during the rebuild, Portland always maintained a roster that falls just below the tax, mainly because Portland doesn't attract free agents of value. The incentive to open up cap space is diminished league wide even more so with the new cap restrictions for tax paying teams, meaning you have to match dollar for dollar. So offering them expiring contracts is a nonstarter. It's like offering them nothing. Despite fan belief, GM's are not dumb (alright maybe wrong on that). They want young guys and picks. I can't imagine a world where the asking price from Portland doesn't involve Jabari, Tari, or Cam as the centerpiece. "But we like those guys!" says the fan of Houston and I would say "exactly my point." Portland or any team for that matter, wants the stuff you like. These scenarios where team X gets valuable players for some version of Jeff Green or Kevin Love's expiring contract is just NBA2K fan fantasy craziness.

They need to play the CHARGERS. BETTER GAME. WILL TELL HOW GOOD THEY CAN BE.

Good win. Shameful that Titans were favored to win. Let’s go win again

Anfernee is really really good at scoring. A playoff team would use his talents well

Excellent work gentlemen! Good talk

With the News about Jabari Smith Jr. out for 2 months I think the Rockets need to call NETS and get Cam Johnson asap cause the biggest loss the Rockets will have is their advantage on Defense & Rebounding. So they might as well compensate that by getting a dead on shooter.

Go blazers!

Blazers need Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. Other than Sharpe and Avdija, everyone on that team should be available for trades and picks. They also need a new coach. Billups can’t coach.

Anfernee has no problems faking injuries. The Blazers GM gets to lose games on purpose, and improve the draft pick. Paired with Jerami Grant, the Blazers have highly talented Professional Tankers.

3:33 you mentioned "nothing is really out there to explain his shooting woes" i follow the blazers closely and earlier in season Anfernee exited a game due to shortness of breath. he suffered an Anxiety attack and was out a handful of games. He puts too much pressure on himself being Dames protege trying to fill his shoes. Hed thrive in a smaller role & a change of scenery

No interest in Simons, no defense.

Cam Thomas would be a far better option.

Sure wish Blazers went with Udoka

We need a back up big , Adams is washed

Should’ve drafted Stephon Castle , I never liked the Reed hype , if his shot not falling he’s useless

Hard no on Simons

Peter is regurgitating metrics that don't tell the truth. Anfernee is a way better defender than Scoot H. The Trailblazers get blown out because of Scoot un force turnovers, the lack of ability to play man defense, and transition defense. Anfernee has grown leaps and bounds this season in these areas. Chauncey is asking him to give up shots for players who can't shoot. Keeping Anfernee out of rhythm on offense. They are tanking and asking him sideline his game for the other players that are not better him to grow. He's doing that. Now reporters say the Anfernee is the problem. Tanking and inexperienced in game coaching is the real issue here. Anfernee gets triple teamed on a regular basis, like Luka. Chauncey's isn't putting him in an environment to play his best. There is too many one-dimensional players around Anfernee on the Trailblazers roster. He would be and Allstars in the next couple of years on a team who valued him. He's a point guard. He is not your sixth man. The organization's future money-making scheme for the #1 pick is the only thing that hinders Simons' successful elevation. He's 6'4", and that large enough. The only difference in today's heights and other Era's are that they lied about how tall someone was. So his height doesn't mean a thing he can KISS the rim! Peter has his own opinion that I don't agree with. But it's just basketball. I'll keep him over 95% of the league. Diamond in the rough. Jus sayin....

lol free Deni

Blazer fan here. You are out of your mind to want mini me simons. 0 defense, low iq, 0 dog, inconsistent, overpaid. Are you out of your minds? RW3 different story alltogether. Midget simons gives you 25 on occasion vs piss poor teams, thats about it. Trust me you don't want this bootleg temu trey young.

I watched grizzlies vs suns last night and i’m asking why is jack mcveigh not seeing any minute at Houston Rockets.Many NBA teams are playing some guys in G-league. In fact the grizzlies had 5 two way players on the court last night konchar, huff, pippin jr, cam Spenser, castleton and still beat the Suns. I thought mcveigh is a career 38% 3pt shooter and NBL MVP, same league where Alex Sarr,rayan Rupert & lamelo ball were drafted

Another bad idea

They shouldn’t worry about a guy this season. They should prioritize the team as is and keeping the Phoenix picks the whole way to the end.

Rockets need Bogdan Bogdonavic

Jus a slower version of Jalen green lol NO

We already have Simons. His name is Jalen Green

We see Anfernee Simon's every night In Jalen Green. I'll pass lol

nah it's a pass 4 me..rather deal with the Nets for Cam Thomas...we need scoring..i don't no why they haven't sent Reed to the G-league yet dude need to get some work in..if cam can go he can too! I'm not feeling the plays IMA be running...nice try Rob but ur choice of players to get are at best!

Robert Williams stays injured

Rather pass on another inefficient guard and a center who hardly plays because he's always injured. The Rockets need a Star player, shooter, and a reliable back up big. Maybe someone like Duncan Robinson and Jericho Simms with the Knicks.

dont need simons, the rockets already had that type of player in cam whitmore, just give him more minutes. Good rotations, making smart decisions down the stretch, sometimes the veterans are making mistakes just like rookies which is not good for a young team in rockets

No trades we need Ime to actually learn how to call plays like having Jabari cutting to basket more play Cam more send Reed to G-league stop with JT and Holiday getting so much run we are the Rockets 🚀 not the Spurs Ime u carry yo ass if u want and get an Offensive coach

I like time lord plz give me him. But as a rockets fan I dont want Simon's I dont see him as being that much of a upgrade over Jalen green. If the rockets make a trade they need to trade for a pg or a player that's a significant upgrade over something we have trading for Simons is not much of a upgrade of anything for us

Dont need him.

Learn how to win this season. Pick up a PG next year and go for the title. The reason they are playing well this season is the defense. Dont break that up.

Excellent just pure Excellent I would not unload the cupboard but I would definitely like to add him to the team

The guy on the left is making sence. Waiting n waiting n waiting for nothing is what youre doing by doing nothing.

The Phoenix talk is a pipe dream

Phx was a better team (With Only Booker) before it it went Big star hunting for KD/BB and gutted there whole team depth plus Mucho Draft capital.. this why if i'm the Rocs im only dealing with Phx/Nets since we already have their picks.. right now i wud trade for Cam Thomas give them their picks/ are just get Booker bc he will available and we have the picks to get him without messing with the young pieces. Fox will only be a OVERPAID player that doesn't move the needle...dude wants a 5yr 275 plus mil WTF!!!

FRED VAN FLEET TOO OLD AND WAS TIRED LATE IN LASTT 2 LOSSES....GO WITH YOUTH...BOTH GAMES ON YOU COACH....GOT TO GIVE CAM MORE PLAYING TIME

I TOLD A GOOD FRIEND THAT MIAMI WAS MENTALLY TOUGHER THAN THE ROCKETS AND THAT WAS TRUE....BUT THANK YOU ROCKETS FOR CARING HOW TOUGH THE LAST 2 LOSSES WERE...AMEN THOMPSON A HERO FOR TOSSING HERRO

Rockets needs an aggressive player like Cam. Let him play and see he'll improve a lot.

Trade VanVleet and Jalen Green for Fox might have to be Cam Whitmore instead of Jalen tho

Naaw he got Mike brown fired….

I understand both sides if it was me I would say trade for Fox now I actually think he would be the better fit then Booker. You can argue with the spacing but Fox is more than capable of spacing the floor and hitting 3s if he needs to and he can obviously play with Sengun and Amen. But I also understand why the rockets at least want to wait to see how this plays out especially with the Suns since it’s possible they could get bounce out of the first round. But you can’t wait another two years for Kevin Durant to slow down and Booker to ask for a trade. So yeah it’s going to be interesting to see what the rockets do but if I had to guess they aren’t going to make any moves they probably going to wait until the summer to see what happens

Kings fired Brown to keep Fox happy. Not sure he is available anymore.

Locked on Kings said that getting Jalen will be a dream. I think other teams see him as a great potential talent. We should make this happen. Jalen, Jock and Jeff Green 2 1st picks for Fox

You can see in Roberts face he disagrees with Ben. Me too, Robert. We can not wait for a maybe Booker in a couple of years. We need to do something now. Players like Fox don't become available often. Let's do this.

I watched locked on Kings. And they were saying that they will be happy with Tari and Reed and 2 1st round picks for Fox. I think we are selling ourselves short. This deal can happen without losing much. I would take that deal in a heartbeat.

Did he really say Reed. Reed has ben terrible
