3:33 you mentioned "nothing is really out there to explain his shooting woes" i follow the blazers closely and earlier in season Anfernee exited a game due to shortness of breath. he suffered an Anxiety attack and was out a handful of games.

Blazers need Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. Other than Sharpe and Avdija, everyone on that team should be available for trades and picks. They also need a new coach. Billups can’t coach.
Portland doesn't want cap relief. It literally has no value to them. They want valuable assets, cap space is not an asset. Even during the rebuild, Portland always maintained a roster that falls just below the tax, mainly because Portland doesn't attract free agents of value. The incentive to open up cap space is diminished league wide even more so with the new cap restrictions for tax paying teams, meaning you have to match dollar for dollar. So offering them expiring contracts is a nonstarter. It's like offering them nothing. Despite fan belief, GM's are not dumb (alright maybe wrong on that). They want young guys and picks. I can't imagine a world where the asking price from Portland doesn't involve Jabari, Tari, or Cam as the centerpiece. "But we like those guys!" says the fan of Houston and I would say "exactly my point." Portland or any team for that matter, wants the stuff you like. These scenarios where team X gets valuable players for some version of Jeff Green or Kevin Love's expiring contract is just NBA2K fan fantasy craziness.
nah it's a pass 4 me..rather deal with the Nets for Cam Thomas...we need scoring..i don't no why they haven't sent Reed to the G-league yet dude need to get some work in..if cam can go he can too! I'm not feeling the plays IMA be running...nice try Rob but ur choice of players to get are at best!
Anfernee has no problems faking injuries. The Blazers GM gets to lose games on purpose, and improve the draft pick. Paired with Jerami Grant, the Blazers have highly talented Professional Tankers.
I like time lord plz give me him. But as a rockets fan I dont want Simon's I dont see him as being that much of a upgrade over Jalen green. If the rockets make a trade they need to trade for a pg or a player that's a significant upgrade over something we have trading for Simons is not much of a upgrade of anything for us
When Sengun passes out of a double team, he's much more likely to hit an open 3 than Jalen. But more importantly, he's a better option than Reed or Holiday - which are the only options right now. I discussed it as a pkg w/ Timelord who's an elite defender
@krisg3818 We lost the last two games because of Sengun. It's not totally his fault but he's a big reason why. Him and FVV. The problem with Sengun, the offense is run through him but it only fits him. It doesn't really fit J.Green and the rest of the guys. An uptempo with spacing is the offense we need. We will never be able to run like that with Sengun. And Sengun gets so comfortable with this offense that he play outside his strength like shooting 3s during critical stretch of the game where we can't afford miss shots. And he miss ALOT. And it's bad enough he miss shots alot. And there's no discipline when Sengun play wild like that. On the defensive side, he's allowing to many easy baskets. Too many. Julius Randle had a field day hitting 3s while other guys was doing lay-up drills right within his reach and Sengun just allow it. Against the Heat, he was no help to Bari and Amen who needed that weak-side defense help and Sengun was either too slow getting there or found stuck watching. It's tiring. It's not working man. Silas saw the same issues and used to bench Sengun during 4th quarters because he cost us leads and do the wrong stuff on offense. We need to go back to that if we want to start winning against elite teams. We are not winning against elite teams with Sengun in the 4th quarters. That's for sure! We need a defensive big like Robert Williams or Nic Claxton.
@RobertLandHoustonSportsTalk This is inaccurate. Sengun need to STOP shooting 3s. He hoisted one up in the 4th against the Heat when we least could afford that miss shot and he missed badly. Sengun is almost unplayable in the 4th. Silas saw the same issues. Ime most likely notice it too but try to work with Sengun to get better. He is not gonna get better, though. He's in his 4th year and still having issues where he's hurting us alot in the 4th quarters.
Peter is regurgitating metrics that don't tell the truth. Anfernee is a way better defender than Scoot H. The Trailblazers get blown out because of Scoot un force turnovers, the lack of ability to play man defense, and transition defense. Anfernee has grown leaps and bounds this season in these areas. Chauncey is asking him to give up shots for players who can't shoot. Keeping Anfernee out of rhythm on offense. They are tanking and asking him sideline his game for the other players that are not better him to grow. He's doing that. Now reporters say the Anfernee is the problem. Tanking and inexperienced in game coaching is the real issue here. Anfernee gets triple teamed on a regular basis, like Luka. Chauncey's isn't putting him in an environment to play his best. There is too many one-dimensional players around Anfernee on the Trailblazers roster. He would be and Allstars in the next couple of years on a team who valued him. He's a point guard. He is not your sixth man. The organization's future money-making scheme for the #1 pick is the only thing that hinders Simons' successful elevation. He's 6'4", and that large enough. The only difference in today's heights and other Era's are that they lied about how tall someone was. So his height doesn't mean a thing he can KISS the rim! Peter has his own opinion that I don't agree with. But it's just basketball. I'll keep him over 95% of the league. Diamond in the rough. Jus sayin....
I watched grizzlies vs suns last night and i’m asking why is jack mcveigh not seeing any minute at Houston Rockets.Many NBA teams are playing some guys in G-league. In fact the grizzlies had 5 two way players on the court last night konchar, huff, pippin jr, cam Spenser, castleton and still beat the Suns. I thought mcveigh is a career 38% 3pt shooter and NBL MVP, same league where Alex Sarr,rayan Rupert & lamelo ball were drafted
dont need simons, the rockets already had that type of player in cam whitmore, just give him more minutes. Good rotations, making smart decisions down the stretch, sometimes the veterans are making mistakes just like rookies which is not good for a young team in rockets
Thx for the take. Simons has a lot more experience than Cam & is better at creating off the dribble. Cam's more of a 3 than 1/2 guard because of his ball handling. Rockets need help there
Rather pass on another inefficient guard and a center who hardly plays because he's always injured. The Rockets need a Star player, shooter, and a reliable back up big. Maybe someone like Duncan Robinson and Jericho Simms with the Knicks.
He's not inefficient. He spoke this week that the instability/interchanging roles has been hard on him this year. He doesn't feel appreciated. I'd look past this year. I've watched him dang near every minute he has played, and he can score a lot and fast. I watched him put up 22 points in 6 minutes. I don't know what's up with him, but he's going to have a 60 point game at some point. He's that good. He just needs the right team and the green light. He's a great dude with a good attitude. My biggest hope this season is that he goes to a playoff contender where he is appreciated.
if that is the metric then Simon's crap defense actually makes Green's look decent. Udoka would not be thrilled. Thanks for your take.@@RobertLandHoustonSportsTalk
@@benpelletier8554 Remember how bad Jalen Green's D was before Udoka showed up? If he wasn't the worst defender in the league, he was in the conversation. He's still below avg
totally agree! And Simon's is even further entrenched in his dismal career defense. Hard pass on Simons, not for this squad/coach@@RobertLandHoustonSportsTalk
No trades we need Ime to actually learn how to call plays like having Jabari cutting to basket more play Cam more send Reed to G-league stop with JT and Holiday getting so much run we are the Rockets 🚀 not the Spurs Ime u carry yo ass if u want and get an Offensive coach

Anfernee is really really good at scoring. A playoff team would use his talents well

Rockets need Bogdan Bogdonavic
Thx for the take. Would love him. Wish I heard more noise that he was on the market but the Hawks look like a playoff or at least a play in team

Our needs are a PG and a defensive big that can play the 4th quarter and keep Sengun on the bench.

We see Anfernee Simon's every night In Jalen Green. I'll pass lol

@RobertLandHoustonSportsTalk I wish. As many as he takes you'd think he was a career 40% from 3. What would you give up for Simon's?

McVeigh - no athleticism or defense. Griz have done a better job than most teams in the NBA of finding & developing 2nd rounders & undrafted.
Robert Williams stays injured
How healthy has the current backup center been the last 2 yrs? When Williams plays, he's elite defensively. Thx for the take
