Four days off and the addition of a player that another team put into a trade with Daniel Theis and his contract has not made the Rockets a top four team in the Western Conference. Surprise!
The team isn’t better. Particularly when the main player added at the trade deadline creates more minutes problems than he solves. The Rockets are already not playing, not dressing, a max contract point guard to further player development. So, one has to ask, in light of John Wall just doing whatever it is he’s doing, and getting paid handsomely for it, why play Dennis Schroder?
