2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
The Rockets aren't blowing up this team for Giannis. The Bucks would want Thompson, Sengun, Sheppard, and picks for him. Fuck that.

Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
Losing Settle sucks. Besides OL, we really need a 2 down run stuffer inside. This defense as good as it is, can still be had in run game, especially with Demeco's love of FGs over everything else.

Well it's also for the Astros, and if I swtich back to YTTV, then I will gladly pay for both, as it means 100% of the money goes to the Astros/Rockets bottom line.

There is no way you bring in Paul. He's an asshole that believes his way is the only way, and on top of it, he's not good anymore. I would be interested in Westbrook, because he can still play and loves to play basketball. The only problem I see with him and it's huge, would he be happy with the scraps left on usage to win a ring. He'd likely be the 4th option in the starting lineup behind Sengun, Durant, and Thompson, but damn adding his production and ball handling would be huge. Shit, he's making .371 BTA on 5.3 attempts this season. Tate's salary matches, throw in a couple of 2nds and make it happen. Then sign Tate back when the Kings cut him.

Yeah, if he's deciding on Signing Day, I really like our chances when it's down to two and he's already committed to the other school.

You have to shop at the bargin basement when your owner makes dumb financial decisions on the regular.

2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
They don't throw away money on the Montero's, Abreu's, and Javier's, McCuller's, and Waker's of the world. Instead they pick up trash heap guys like Ernie Clement and turn them into very productive players. They also nearly $60M coming off the books after the 2026 season with the FA of Springer, Gausman, Garcia, and Varsho. They locked up Guerrero at a great contract for them, and he's currently their only long-term commitment. Gimenez, Santander, and Kirk are all signed through 2030 with a couple of those guys TOs. However, looking at our balance sheet, we are in pretty good shape moving forward. Correa and Altuve are signed through 2029, but both are negative values at this point in their careers, unless Correa has one of those 30-year old career bounces. There should be no reason he isn't a 4-5 WAR/Y player for the remainder of his contract. If he's not then the Astros have a real problem. Alvarez is signed through 2028 with no options. If he can actually stay healthy this season, I would sign him to an extension to try to get some cost certainity with the team. The Astros absolutely fucked up by failing to lock down Pena and Brown. They are also going to be completely gutted after 2028 with the FA of Javier, Walker, Paredes, Sanchez, Meyers, and Pena. The organization has done an absolutely shitty job manaing their balance sheet, unless they get some of these guys signed.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
This is correct. Wingo is a playmaker, he needs more consistency, but a lot of WRs do. Worthy's sophomore year, 62-774-9 vs. 57-812-7 for Wingo. Everyone was ready to send Worthy packing because he asked for NIL upgrades each offseason.

Unless Crane does something fucking retarded and signs another QO guy that puts up shit stats.

Vandy baseball is likely going to come back to the pack a lot. They were playing lose with the academic financial aid given to baseball players when they started their upward trajectory. Now that NIL exists, their "advantages" have been taken away.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
This is fucking hilarious. Wingo isn't perfect but he's also the best WR we have on campus by a large margin, and he's likely better than Coleman(fumbled against Bama late costing Auburn the game) and Williams (no catches, shit maybe no targets against Auburn). The best WR in college football is Jeremiah Smith, but in two games against Texas 7 catches for 46 yards and 0 TDs. Wingo has 5 touches for 71 yards and 0 TDs.

Looking good with the HTHs over Buffalo and Baltimore. If we can sweep Indy, that would mean 5-1 in the division which put us ahead of Jacksonville as well.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Yes, we should also change the basketball tournament to the 3-5 teams that actually have a chance to win it each year as well.

Which is what Gerry has said. He's added 50 pounds in HS and has the frame to carry more. Will start at the 5tech and eventually move inside.
