Nobody would put in the effort to predict where Okafor and MKG would go lol and he was focused on the Rockets cause Russ was here, now there will be much less Rockets stuff. I feel like he just straight up Googled like lower ranked executives and agents' assistants and DMed them till they talked to him and became friendly. Pretty cool if thats how it went down.
We can’t upgrade because brokeass refused to use mle and bird rights to retain shump/ariza/2018MLE/2019MLE. That would’ve been salary we could use to obtain players.
that’s terrible Nurkic and Little are irrelevant, and CJ is 29 and pretty much is what he is at this point, which is a nice scorer who plays no defense
I don’t expect the Rockets to be having substantial talks with any team at the moment...everyone is overhyping what they gave until games start and reality hits hard, and the Rockets still prefer to try and make things work with Harden If the Rockets get off to a hot start, would that soften Harden’s stance and start to change his mind? Rockets probably want to find out, because Simmons, Herro, MPJ, the garbage from BK, etc can’t and most likely never will be able to hold Harden’s jockstrap.
There has been zero talks with anyone period . Rockets are not even entering any negotiations till they throw a sales pitch with Silas getting to win over Harden according to both shams and Woj. You don’t give up on a once in a 30 year talent without exhausting every Avenue
I would hate that trade. We have 2 players coming back from a long injury. Also, Nurkic only just came back from a long injury. Having Dame and Harden in the same team is dangerous for every other team.... especially with Covington in their team. We would be getting the worst of it.
