He does go iso but probably not as much as wall but I’d have to check #’s but the way brown and Tatum have been going iso we definitely do not need another iso heavy player. That’s actually been a downfall, our lack of ball movement. another factor is kemba is really good for our locker room and he’s pretty encouraging and close with brown and Tatum and while I’m sure wall is good for houston I’m not sure you can just add him in mid season and expect cohesion. In kemba’s last 9 he’s 22 & 5 assists on 43/42/92 splits while getting to the line around 4x which is close to last years numbers as an all star. While they don’t blow you away it’s far from this epic emergency situation as some paint. Now if he can’t stay healthy? yes, then it has potential to be a code red. As I said tho even when he was off his movement looked good with burst and stop and go movement.
ClutchFans on Twitter: "On the @ShamsCharania report that "Nets, Bucks, Heat, Nuggets & Lakers" are interested in P.J. Tucker, things I would find intriguing: Nets: 3 2nd rounders (all 2021) Bucks: DiVincenzo Heat: Achiuwa, Okpala Nuggets: Hampton, Nnaji Lakers: Not a damn thing" / Twitter
This has nothing to do with your post, but may i ask why you're around here? As a Rocket fan I would never spend this much time on another teams board, so it's kind of confusing. This is not meant as an insult, i enjoy your "outside" perspective. Just genuinely curious.
Just to piggy back off this... if these moves are made, here's the cap situation for 2022-2023: 19.56 - Eric Gordon 14.32 - Christian Wood 3.22 - Kevin Porter (team option) 1.78 - Kenyon Martin Jr 1.78 - Jae'Sean Tate (team option) 15.76 Michael Porter Jr (Restricted Bird Cap Hold) 4.08 - Bol Bol (Restricted Bird Cap Hold) 4.70 - Unused Roster Cap Hold (estimated) TOTAL: 65.2 million Current Cap: 108 million (estimate) Cap Space: 43.2 million 21.48 - Pat Beverley (cap hold to be renounced) 30.72 - Gary Harris (cap hold to be renounced) They could cut a few players to raise another 5-6 million. If any cap increases in 2 years it should get them close to 2 max contracts before an extension for M Porter Jr similar to what the Spurs did with Kawhi before signing Aldridge... They could also unload the Eric Gordon deal easily since he would be on the last year of his guaranteed money. He and a Brooklyn pick could fetch something nice potentially...

Eric Gordon trades: Suns: Eric Gordon Rockets: Dario Saric, Jalen Smith Mavs: Eric Gordon Rockets: James Johnson (expiring), Josh Green Nuggets: Eric Gordon Rockets: Gary Harris, RJ Hampton Blazers: Eric Gordon, 2021 SRP Rockets: Rodney Hood, Harry Giles, Nassir Little Warriors: Eric Gordon, 2021 SRP Rockets: Kelly Oubre (expiring) Grizzlies: Eric Gordon, 2021 SRP Rockets: Gorgiu Dieng (expiring), Desmond Bane Heat: Eric Gordon Rockets: Kelly Olynk (expiring), Precious Achiuwa Knicks: Eric Gordon, 2021 SRP Rockets: Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox
Knicks get: Dipo, McLemore Rockets get: Ntilikina, Knox, Burks + Knicks first rounder + Dallas first rounder (Rockets flip Burks for a second rounder?) Nuggets get: Gordon, House Rockets get: Gary Harris, Zeke Nnjai, RJ Hampton Sixers get: PJ Tucker Rockets get: Thybulle, Mike Scott
NYK want Dipo but only for non rotation young players (Knox, Ntilikina, Brazdeikis) and multiple SRP. Anyone game?
NICE!!!! Don't want Langford however, Rockets already have too many guards, especially young guards. Can we flip him for a pick?
Do you think Nuggets would accept anything less for MPJ? Perhaps but any trade for MPJ will require some FRP imo.
Only if that’s the best offer out there. I’m not for holding onto the guy. Hoping he turns into another FRP somehow.
