My two cents as a rockets fan.

I see offseason rockets reddit has fully taken form so figured I'd give my take on the current hot topic I've seen posted about already like a 100 times.

IMO the overall problem boils down to Ime and his inability to run an actual offense. The other issues beside Stone stem from Ime. Reed Sheppard is not the biggest issue with this team, leaving out the what if's and whatever else regarding Reed, we have drastically underdeveloped him and when we started to play him this year, Ime plays him as a primary on ball PG, which simply is not his game in the NBA. I honestly believe if Reed was drafted to SAS we'd see him just running around the court and shooting like 10+ 3s a game and be a overall more developed player(separate issue overall comparing our player development to SAS or any other team tbh). As for Sengun/Amen lack of shooting and Sengun lack of athleticism, that more falls on Ime/stone for not changing the style of play to match them and not trading for elite 3pt shooters for them to play with, as a fan I can only hope we adjust that this offseason. I saw someone else mention this either in a post or comment, but seeing as the rockets will have to deal with Wemby AND Cooper Flagg for the next 10 plus years, i hope we can build something to actually compete with them in the future, if not we're in for a rough ride for the foreseeable future.
