    It's like we all already knew it was gonna happen deep down inside but just held out hope nonetheless.

    I was naive in thinking it would be for a player with a salary higher than $5 million (e.g. Thomas Bryant). I think it'll be a cheap big like O'Quinn or Wood but Morey is wanting to add another wing player.

    Would House + IHart + 3 second rounders + 2022 FRP for Kennard + Wood (expiring maybe hard to retain) + Kieff Morris (expiring) worth it?

    we definitely get better for the year but I'm not sure if we do beyond that.

    it also keeps us under the tax.

    There’s a lot of Texans references in this thread.

    Not anymore. That franchise is a collapsing star and I refused to be sucked into that blackhole.

    I don't know...Kennard is better then House all thing considered, Wood as today is probably better then Hart but Hart has much more upside. House, 1st rounder and three 2nd i feel like would be too much, even if you add Kieff, but that's just me. Maybe you take out of the deal one between House and Hartenstein i could see it as a fair deal, but personally, i think i'd rather use the last 1st rounder we have for the bigger need we have which is a center, imo at least.

    I don’t think Morey should give up anymore first round picks.

    Kennard was rumored to be a target by multiple guys on here. He is definitely worth a FRP elsewhere but I'm not sure he fits here. He averages 16 PPG. It would definitely allow us to trade Eric to help recoup some picks this off season. A 2022 FRP is risky because that is the first year of high school players and will be stacked. It's the best FRP we have and there is a reason it's the only one we have. Morey knows.

    Kieff is worth a second rounder.

    Wood is worth two second rounders and not more due to the fact that he's going to be very hard to retain.

    I wouldn't trade two firsts to get Morris and Kennard.
