I think Nick is just connecting one too many dots and trying to be the first one with a hot take. Stay calm.
He is a better version and he creates more so than Gordon. Eric Gordon is streaking to say the least but going a small lineup of Paul, Harden, Beal, Tucker, and DJ would be a monster against GS.
I would expect the Knicks to try to Trade DJ and Mathews before buying them out. Of course they would only be interested in expiring contracts and draft picks in return. So, I don't know if they would have any luck with that. But, it may be another week until these guys are bought out. But, there is no guarantee that DJ would pick the Rockets if he comes available. I see where people would assume the Rockets might be his first choice, but other teams are sure to try to recruit him.
Sign Wes and DJ. Trade any combination of Nene, Knight, Chriss and a 1st for Mirotic, Green, Bazemore, etc. I think Mirotic would be my #1 priority then Green if we could get Wes. Bring back House, even if it’s a 1 year deal. Put all the chips on the MF table. CP3 / Rivers Harden / Gordon Wes / House / Green Tucker / Mirotic Capers / Jordan / Faried That’s a very healthy 12 man rotation. Could actually give CP3, Gordon, Capela and Tucker nights off or limit minutes. Bench unit would be sick. Most importantly; Never play Ennis again.
