The Rockets officially went down 0-3 to the Lakers as they had no Luka or AR. Rockets are a 52 win team and couldn't even get one win against 41 year old LeBron and friends.
What's Rockets ๐ best move this off-seasonโ๏ธ
They get too many turnovers hence relying on 7ft KD or the Center Sengun to carry up the ball from the sideline.
Aside from bad turnovers and needing playmaking, this team lacks shooting and a trusted scorer.
When you can't shoot the ball your very one dimensional and when kD was playing game 2 all they needed to do to win was double him every play.
If there able to double team your best player and leave you lost there's some serious issues that need to be addressed.
Fire Ime ๐ฌ ?
Ime should be a big reason to blame for what we're watching here in the playoffs.
How do you have 52 wins as a team but still can't take the ball up the court, make the right read and score the ball effectively...
Not to mention your up 6 with a 25vseconds left in the 4th and can't hold the ball but instead turn the ball over twice....
Trade for Giannis? ๐ฆ
Giannis rumors are still going crazy especially with bucks not letting him play in the last 10 games of the season.
Rockets needs shooting yes, but they also need a go to scorer aside from KD, because they look lost out there with or without him.
Giannis giving teams 30 a game while still playing very hard defense will pick up for the guys gone In a trade like this.
Trade for Ja ? ๐
Like I mentioned earlier Rockets need a ball carrier and a playmaker, Ja gives you a solid 8 assists a game and he's a former 2 time allstar.
Ja just needs to be in the right spot and situation, right now his value is at an all time low and Rockets are one of the teams desperate for a playmaker.
FVV is 32 right now and coming off of injury so I don't know how much faith the Rockets should put in him over others.
Trade for Dejounte Murray ? ๐
Even coming back from injury for only 14 games Murray was dropping 17 and 6 a game. With a full training camp back he could help a team compete again which it looks like pels aren't close to doing so.
Murray is also very defensive almost averaging up to 2 steals a game. He also shoots way more efficiently from the field than Fred does.
Run it back with FVV? ๐งโโ๏ธ
This is the cheapest option and it's something thats already worked. With a very inefficient scorer in Jalen green and Brooks himself, Fred lead this team to the 3rd seed with his leadership and ability to make the right play.
Fred has the IQ and won a championship already, but never had a shot to play with the KD Rockets.
