(The Ringer) Rockets seriously interested in Robert Covington trade

For some reason Robert Covington isn't starting tonight.
Teague
Wiggins
Okogie
Graham
Dieng

 

Uh oh. Is it happening?

 

What are you getting at? Are you denying their friendship it seems you are on a trolling fishing expedition

 

probably injured like always

 

Chill. He came off the bench.

 

Or traded to the Warriors

 

I agree that they like him but would not say "no" chance. KBD does not even start for T-Wolves.

 

I don't troll.
I am simply saying that just bc they are friends does not mean harden will absolutely be against trading him using historical reference

I am not saying they should absolutely trade Westbrook, I am simply contending that is a possibility

 

Perhaps I should have used the word okay. I get it that he wasn't happy but he played just fine for okc after harden was traded for garbage just like I think harden would play just fine of Westbrook was traded. I was simply replying to the comment that no way harden would let his best friend be traded for pieces that are not individually better than Westbrook

 

Harden has a tremendous amount of power with this organization...young Westbrook did not come close to having the amount of clout with OKC that Harden currently has with the Rockets...if he did, Harden would not have been traded because neither him nor KD were “ok” with him being traded...

of course he played fine, he’s not gonna go into depression because of something he had no control over...Harden has control here, so a Russ trade ain’t happening, especially not for Jeff Teague and Covington...

 

They are bringing him along slowly. He isn’t ready to start. The Rockets don’t have much to offer them.

 

I'd be pissed if the Mavs got RoCo.

 

How does that trade benefits Minny? They don’t get not draft pick?

 

Yeah, that trade benefits Dallas and Denver but makes no sense for NOLA and Minnie imo.

NOLA swaps Holiday and Lonzo for two worse players in Harris (on a meh/bad contract) and whatever Porter jr is, when they already have Ingram, Alexander-Walker and Hart in the same spots, just to get a protected pick, that makes no sense to me.

Minnie giving up Covington and a good pick for Lonzo? Ok.

Dallas meanwhile steals Covington for a 2nd rounder (although a good one), and you can argue they also get away with dumping Curry's contract with a better player (although older) in Redick.

 

I'd be happy to oblige and boo him.....

 

I keep telling y’all this guy is overrated AF.

 

His defense isn’t Overrated. Check the metrics

 

Yet the wolves get their culo blasted every night

 

So do the Magic and Kings. Yet still want players on those teams.
