If Freds falls....the structure will be gone. that's how important he is during this rebuild. ..the young core ain't ready yet... that's what i think... hopefully Alp and Jalen steps up big time in crucial time
I watched a replay of the March 27th game against OKC. Amen did a great job on Chet Holmgren playing small ball center. We need Amen in the front court.
Good pod Jackson. I agree Reed and Amen's skillsets should mesh well together. I also agree Amen will likely get most of his on ball touches as a point forward. Ideally holding FVV minutes under 30 should benifit both him and the team. keeping him fresher and allowing the youngsters room to blossom and slowly assume his role. A lot depends on how fast Reed can adjust to the NBA game. if he excels quickly he is likely to become the starter after this upcoming season with Amen eating nearly all of the remaining minutes. Amen is so valuable as a swish army knife that while still getting his touches he will see the lions share of his minutes at the 2, 3 and 4 positions. FVV is secure for now, but Reed is in the rear view mirror and gaining on him. FVV is a class act, not many people are willing to mentor their replacement unselfishly. I hope we can retain him on a lower contract after this year. he is exactly the type of veteran player any team would want to keep around. his team first appoach is the exact type of message for a young team too see
If Amen midrange game become more efficient like up to 40% and he improved his handle, then he should be the back up PG for sure. He’s explosive and has the highest ceiling
FVV and Aaron Holiday will be great mentors for Reed. I expect Fred to fulfill all 3 years of his contract. I don't think Reed could possibly reach Fred's level in 2 seasons. Maybe as a shooter but not a point guard.
I really hope FVV 3rd year gets restructured to like 3 years 40-50 million. We really need this type of vet on the team, even if its at a lesser role for the future. People don't understand how important he is to this team. Personally I think Reed doesn't get much minutes the first few months till his defense improves or there is an injury. Luckily we have the luxury of bringing up slowly, but who knows maybe he forces the issue by being too good to not get legit minutes.
I think Reed Sheppard will start out the same way Cam Whitmore came out. He will struggle at first with the speed of the game. But, he will figure it out after a couple of game in the NBA and a couple of games at the G-league.
Sengun is a point center, Amen is a point forward, and Aaron is a backup PG. Reed is a SG who can pass a bit. FVV has to be the starter. Jackson is right, Fred's minutes do need to come down.
Fred can ease Reeds transition this year. But the perfect Jalen Gren trade. The Rockets trade Jalen Green to the Lakers for Auston Reeves and Dalton Knecht.

Van Fleet will be extremely important this year and next, as Thompson emerge as future PG or Shepherd
Amen should work on his midrange game like Derozen. But if he's close to a Sdhawn Marion that's still good.

We probably have the most talented collection of young players in NBA history.
It's up to Ime Udoka to have a championship in the very near future.

Go Rox! From Austin, Texas yall
That block against bolbol -- amen is in pippen, kawhi or even jimmy butler mold, not a pg
Go rockets
I want Devin Booker on this Rockets team
The perfect Fred trade. The Rockets trade Fred to the Timberwolves fir Karl Anthony Towns or Rudy
4 point guards? Why rockets
