Good luck convincing Chicago into trading their young star who averaged 25/5/4 for Eric Gordon and 2 late first round picks lmao.
Yeah. Would probably cost more. Houston could throw as much as 6 picks, but I don’t think he’s worth that. my guess is we sit tight. If we want, we can sign him outright in a few years.
That is some garbage defense coming back to Rockets. And only 1 FRP???? Bulls and Celtics make out like bandits.
Bring back Matisse Thybulle and Paul Reed from 76ers and I'd consider this fair value. Lavine is weakest part of this trade IMO.
House gotta go... Not sure if I trust it, but word on the street was he tried to throw Tyson C under the bus and a few Rox (Harden, Tuck) still pi$$ed he was so d@mn selfish. Someone posted it here on CF.
Harden for Brandon Ingram, JJ Redick, Josh Hart, + picks Not possible until Feb 28 since Ingram recently signed Ingram may be a notch below Simmons as a prospect but he's signed long term and still has upside after being an all star in the west last year JJ would be great next to Wall or flipped at the deadline to a contender for a pick (last year of the deal) Josh Hart is on an expiring deal but a serviceable rotation player Rockets: Wall Redick / Hart / Nwaba Ingram /House Wood / PJ Cousins Solid 9 man rotation although there is a glaring gap at backup PG. Pelicans would be happy to pair Harden with Zion + Adams, Bledsoe, Lonzo etc.
I agree, House HAS to go. But he is still an asset, get him off starting 5 first. Then trade him for FRP or young talent at trade deadline when value is at its highest.
