    If the Rockets could up the value of Chriss during the pre-season, I would see if they could move Chriss for Oubre. Their salary matches. I could see the appeal of the Wizards getting a young 4/5 on their roster (Markieff is a UFA next season) since they have depth at the 3 spot with Porter and Brown.

    It's not official unless [OFFICIAL] is in brackets and all caps.

    Except Oubre's actually ok... which is why you wanted to trade Chriss for him.

    If I'm the Wizards, I'm first either trying to move Porter for real value back (not just a salary thing), or experimenting a lot with Wall, Beal, Oubre, Porter lineups.... before I'm moving Oubre for Chriss

    Yes the team announced it but Morey hasn’t on his personal account which he does with even 15th guy on the roster.

    This is the thread that keeps on giving.

    Imagine saving money off your insurance by switching away from a dump provider then multiply that 5 million times.

    Good vibes for you.

    And you get good vibes!

    You get good vibes too!!

    EVERYONE GOES HOME WITH POSITIVE VIBES!!!

    Something is definitely up because neither Knight or Chriss have even acknowledged that they are Houston Rockets on social media

    Two year deal means that Phoenix will be able to extend a qo after the second year or that it's a 1+1 kind of contract @BimaThug?

    It looks like Melton is going to get a good look THIS season and chance to get paid big sooner than most second round picks normally do. I wish him well.

    I wish we could have traded V. Edwards instead of him.
