Episode 12 | Houston, We Solved The Problem... (HOU Rockets)
Player Power Is A Growing Reality Is Sports, One That Team Owners, GMs, Coaches And Fanbases Are All Having To Acclamatize To, Due To The Reality Of What This All Means For Their Beloved Franchises. The Houston Rockets Have Had A First Had Look Into The Pros & Cons Of Having To Acquiesce To A Superstar Play, In Order To Keep Them Happy And Optimize Your Chances Of Winning It All. The Rockets Gave All They Could To Make James Happy In Houston And They Even Managed To Put Together Some Really Competitive Teams In His Time With Them, It All Ultimately Came To Naught, As James Publicly Wanted Out And Left Houston With No Option But To Trade Away Two All-Star Players In Their Peak, From A Selling Position, In A Rather Constrained Market, Due To Covid Potentially Affecting The Salary Cap Again Next Season And Teams Being Unwillingly To Take On Such Huge Salaries In Exchange For Too Many Assets.
James Finally Got Is Trade To Brooklyn, Via The Harden Route... The Houston Rockets Can Actually Begin Their Off-Season Now, As They Begin To Ascertain Their New Identity. The Return Of John Wall & Victor Oladipo From The Westbrook & Harden Trades Was Rather Impressive, While They Are Both All-Star Calibre Players Recovering From Injuries, They Add To This New Resilient Nature Of These New Rockets, A Team Littered With Players That Have A Point To Prove, Even If It’s Just To Themselves... Add In A First Year Head Coach In Paul Silas And A Billionaire Owner In Tilman Fertitta Into The Mix And Things Are Certainly Going To Get Interesting Out In Houston. We’ve Seen How Eager They Are To Strike Deals In The Past, When Darryl Morey Was In Charge As GM, Now That Raphael Stone Is At The Helm It Will Be Intriguing To See Just How Houston Chooses To Approach Things Over The Course Of This Season. We’ve Cooked Up Some Trades To Keep Them In Contention Out West, While Doubling Down On Their Newfound Appetite For Bringing In Superstars On The Mend To Rehabilitate And Potentially Cash In On.
