    It's not that rude... I mean, it applies to pretty much everyone that posts on this board... self included. Am I wrong?

    Your assessment is accurate. Beal is fool’s gold if you’re bringing him in as a number 1 option.

    He’s a number 2 guy like Klay Thompson.

    I'm allowed to view said statement any way I wish.

    What if I was an aspiring GM?

    Why does someone have the right to tell me what I can and cannot do on a message board where I'm sharing an opinion? I didn't insult his assessment or result to name calling because I have a different point of view.

    **** that. This place is full of toxicity and rudeness and I'm not going to take it.

    Man, every time I post anything that's not 100% in agreement someone calls me an idiot here. The world is ****ed up enough, I don't need to be talked down to on a Rockets forum.

    that doesn't matter. If the league office says a deal is done, it's done. Trade Calls are for agreeing on conditions of the deal, part of which can be physicals. The Nets/Rockets/Cleveland trade is done. That means the league said all conditions of the Trade Call were met, meaning Levert is a Rocket.

    per the CBA, Prince and Allen are not allowed to be with the team, until League Office clears the trade. They were with the team last night.




    imo, you're stuck on the idea this isn't two trades, with two separate trade calls and conditions.

    see this press release by Nets. it does not mention Oladipo. So, anything Oladipo was not part of the League Office Trade Call discussions for that trade.

    It seems Miami values Herro
    Actually more than Clutchfans
    And that says alot.

    Around here I think people would trade
    Any current Rocket for Herro
    Wood maybe the exception. Maybe.

    Hopefully you don’t have any aspirations of being a decent poster.

    One cannot compare olipido to beal
    And still sound like they know basket ball

    Beal is a top 10 player
    Victoria maybe top 40... maybe.

    See @aristophanes34 @pippendagimp

    I can't compare two players because I don't know basketball.

    This place is just full of people who instantly resort to insults. I'm incredibly alert and notice this stuff. This place is just rampant with vitriol everywhere.


    Calling Victor Oladipo, Victoria is not a clever insult. It's degrading to act as if a woman is less than a man. You 99ers think because that kind of stuff would fly in the 70s that it's still funny. It's not.

    1. Actually the Victoria thing was autocorrect
    2. I like Victor. At best you can argue he has Beal potential. He is not there now.
    3. Simmer down nah.

    Might as well say Wood is as good as Dream.

    1. Sorry for assuming.
    2. I like Victor and think that Beal is better. My whole point of comparing them is that I wouldn't trade Victor Oladipo and tons of other assets to get Beal on this team. If I was Miami, I'd rather trade Herro and Olynyk for Oladipo than Herro, Robinson, Olynyk, Precious and Picks for Beal. I think Beal is top 25 and I think Victor is top 50. I don't think Beal is worth it for the Rockets and I don't think he's worth trading all future assets for if I'm Philly or Miami.
    3. I probably should.

    Thank you for posting this!
    Just because Indiana wants to unload Victor's injured quad and expiring contract on us does not mean we need to take it. Stone needs to slow down and evaluate Caris before we jettison a positive asset.

    I would take 17-18 Dipo over Beal but not him right now. Not even that close honestly.
