Re: Rockets offseason thread

This is first time in ages that we're going into an offseason with a legitimate starting-caliber player at every position.

We need to see what we can get for McGrady. I'm worried that his performance this game is going to affect the way his season is remembered by management. Tremendous one-off performance. Weak season on the whole. The other side, though, is that it could inflate his value in the market. I get the feeling that T-Mac is considered by most to be a slightly better player than he actually is.

Head needs to go. What we saw this series isn't surprising in the least. He struggled to shoot the ball all season, and without that he is useless. He can't run the offense, can't finish, can't defend, and he's a chucker. Two years in a row that he's stunk it up in the playoffs.

Bobby Jackson too. Good defender, but he can't make plays for others, and dominates the ball and looks for his own shot too much. Bonzi would have been handy this series, creating shots, crashing the boards, drawing fouls, limiting the extent to which Utah could rotate defenders on McGrady. That trade was a disaster.
