The Rockets Are QUIETLY Building The NBA's Next Dynasty

[@lastshallbefirst5516]

Fred Van Vleet is just a winner, and it follows him wherever he goes. From high school in class 4A Illinois, with his tallest teammate at 6’1 vs. Chicago teams. To Wichita St., in the Final Four as a freshman, and then going 35-0 as a sophomore, before losing to Kentucky. Championship at Toronto, destroyed Steph on both ends.

[@arnoncline2398]

Amen is straight up insanity. His size and conditioning at 21 is absolutely abnormal. Man do i love everytime he drains that 3 ball. Even when they give hime the space and dare him to shoot he still blew by them... lord have mercy when they cant give him space. Its over. Hate to say it but it will be over for Jalen Green too. He cant do 10% of Amens abilities. Not to put him down but IQ and just the feel for the game Amen has is really absolutely terrifying. This kid keeps knocking down those pull up mid range jumpers and knocking down tnose corner threes and we will be witnessing the best all around basketball player in the league. Hes already the best defender in the NBA. I mean you can talk all yoi want about wemby and Rudy blah blah... this kid can guard SGA Brunson Luka and then put hands on Bol bol jumshot. The reason Bol Bol took that jumper is because he literally looked at Amen and said its not physically possible for him to come up and get a pove of ghag ball. But the play that set up Jalen Green to poster Cade is one of the best defensive plays ever witnessed. Need to be watched 30 times to really understand the gloriness of that play. He literallly acts like hes setting up a play or calling for something. .. then in a split second knew EXACTLY where the ball would be so he coukd poke it away ... then beats Cade to the ball RIGHT before it goes out of bounds.... thennnnn KNOWS Jalen is trailing... WAITS IT LITERALLY delivers the perfect pass to allow Jalen go fully accelerate up with that dunk. If Jalen didnt buy him a a fat AP hes just a prick. Straight up. Because we ALL know Amen could've gone straight to that rim from any angle he wanted and if he accelerated from the second he picked up that ball we alll know the ending... he started then saw Jalen trailing and set him up. Must really watch that play slow motion and see how much vision IQ skill quickness sharpness and most importantly unselfish baskeball ive seen. Jalen makes that steal (which he just cant.... he wouldnt be able to think that well enough to fool Cade) but nobody can redo that play. Just simply inctedible. I hope and pray his bro gets back to 100% asap. But super after alll that time missed comes into the game and nothing but nets a 3 .... LOL. Its just perfect. Like ill show you what ive been doing for the past year. GO THOMPSON TWINS. .. league is yTWINSours. Nobody can play with you.

Im a Houstonian....I love how the Rockets look my only issue is Udoka's rotations....we have alot of talent, so much talent that one of our most explosive guys(Whitmore) has been sent to the Gleague and Sheppard (who should also be in the G League) can barely find minutes. Also I know Jalen Green is inconsistent but its a bad look when he is not closing games right after you paid him. I normally hate when teams trade 4 young pieces for 1 megastar but the Rockets are in a rare spot to do this and still have enough talent to around the star. I would look to move Sengun, Brooks, Jabari, Sheppard, and as many picks as they want for Giannis. I think the deal works for both teams.

at this point I think Houston gave Fred van fleet star money knowing that the final year was not going to be picked up. sengun and green extensions kick in next season. their extensions alone increase the cap by 50 million but the rockets have a lot of deals coming off the books. Adams, Lansdale, and Jeff green are about 30 million in expiring deals. realistically they will decline Fred's deal and resign him for less money but more years, probably around 4 years 110 million or 3 years 90 million, this saves the team about 12-15 million next season but Fred gets some long term security.
