And, again, with Kobe, I don't think they really view him as a Fred VanVleet type.
He's closer to, you know, guys they already have on the roster in terms of role.
He's closer to a two-guard, and the Rockets already feel pretty good at that position with how they use Kevin Durant and Reed Shepard.
So, um...
I just think we've got to consider not just this season, but next season.
And if the only upgrade is for this year, and you're already down two rotation players, two key rotation players in Fred and Steven, so your odds are already diminished, is it really worth it if you have to take away a key player from next season's team?
That's what I keep coming back to.
Right.
Knowledge that a point guard along the lines of Fred Benfleet could help them.
I just don't think Kobe white is that guy.
Yeah.
I will say it's a little different than the Luka scenario from a year ago in that Luka was 25.
If Giannis was 25, they'd take the talent and worry about everything else later.
To go from a 23-year-old Alperen Shingun or a 22-year-old Amin Thompson, although I don't think Amin's on the table in any scenario, I think he's as unbatchable as it gets.
Nope.
For a 31-year-old yachtist, I mean, that's a big age gap.
And in a perfect world, I think the Rockets just philosophically, and some people will disagree, but I think the Rockets would rather have, you know, a 10-year window of, you know, a pretty good chance every year of,
than a two- or three-year window with a very good chance, simply because they've learned the hard way.
So many things can go wrong.
We saw this in 2018.
