In the past Vecenie has been ridiculously Pro Rockets Management, pissed me off. Well, in his most recent pod, made me happy to hear him cook them for their dumb moves this offseason, lol.

Haven't listened to the latest pod yet but I seriously don't get what's so bad what we did....and if what we did was so bad, what was the alternative?

If you look at our whole offseason where did we miss?

Needed a coach....got arguably the best coach available

Of course we wanted Wemby in the draft....still end up with 2 top 5 prospects

Jamss Harden wanted to come back to Houston and do Harden things.....Rockets told him no

Rockets needed a point guard and veteran leadership...Got the best point guard available that was realistically going to change teams

Needed defense......got an elite versatile defender in Dillon Brooks. Yes we overpaid more so on the years than the money...but supposed 3 and d wings typically get paid around 20 mil per year. Look at Deandre Hunters contract lol.

Jock Landale.....basically a one year dear for a backupcenter who showed showed some flashes

Jeff Green....probably a top 5 locker room guy which is big for a team that's young and immature

We're a vastly better team than we were st the beginning of the offseason and this was always more about betting our young guys to take a step forward and putting them in a better environment to succeed

It wasn't perfect by any means but I'm cool with what we did.....I don't have to watch Daishen Nix play basketball anymore so that alone makes this a successful offseason
