How far can Houston go this year under Ime Udoka? He has the entire team playing principled defense while Sengun is an all star and Jalen Green is a home game all star.

Ime is rightfully getting praise, but the front office recognizing that it made sense to overpay to bring in the vets was honestly a very smart move.
It was a gamble but with OKC owning our pick this year, it made no sense to tank. Plus we own Brooklyn’s pick swap and with enough luck, that can be a lottery pick. Overpaying short term on FVV turned out to be a good gamble especially with the 3rd year a team option. Brook’s contract looks like straight up a good contract. Jeff Green is overpaid but his veteran leadership is invaluable for Jabari and Alperen. Landale looks baaad though.
That’s what never made sense to me with people…like, did you see what happened to the Suns when they added Ricky Rubio a few years back? Adding vets that have been there, won championships, been in big playoff series, can completely change the culture of a team.
