I have a hard time believing ya'll would make the playoffs period next season. Who will be your offensive threat in the starting lineup?Brooks and Scola? It's hard to believe that Ariza would be that much offensive power. If Houston could get Tmac back for 75% of the season, they could makethe playoffs but thats highly unlikely.Originally Posted by franchise3
Rockets are in rebuild mode. If Morey thought we could compete, he'd resign Artest. He didn't even offer Gortat the full MLE and we need a C, period. Instead, he went and locked up Trevor at 24 for 5 years. Shane's protege, eventual replacement.
No Yao, no TMac. 8th seed is pointless. We'd just get knocked out by the Lakers. And we won't have a lottery pick. The whole point of the lottery pick is to get a young talent or use it in trade scenarios.
Next year is gonna be rough regardless, but there's light. TMac's contract comes off the books. Land a big time FA. Yao and Battier come off in 2011. Land another big time FA or two. Then you'd have Ariza in his prime.
