Woj - Gordon picking up significant trade interest

Agree with a lot of this... This is essentially the Kevin Durant replacement that the Warriors went to a lot of effort to secure using expensive luxury tax payments. They got Dlo and knew he couldn't fit so they churned his bad contract for Wiggins and this pick that could fit temporarily. Now that Wiggins is backsliding to reality they would like to recycle this to something again that fits them better. Smaller contract EGo>Wiggins plus Tucker on expiring and it gives them flexibility. They are not resigning Oubre. I don't want to roll Dipo into the deal because I want to send him to Knicks and use Magic in 3 way but I believe the Minny picks in very valuable to us. If we get it now and we are top 3 and somehow they get knocked out in the lottery to 4 or 5 then we could have two top 5 picks in this draft with one likely to come next year with Wood before we do ANYTHING ELSE. It's a long shot but worth trying. If we could move Wall based on this other thread then taking on Wiggins is even more manageable. Even in 2022 I think Minny will be top of the lottery. Warriors need to and want to win now. They kept Wiseman because why not but don't want to collect and use these picks. They tried trades before the draft but nobody was biting with anything worthwhile to them.

 

The hawks equivalent to cyberx ch44 had some intel that GSW was trying to grab dipp and turner for their number 2 last draft. I think the minny pick is up for grabs. Just got to blow them away. I agree with you that consolidating all of our trade pieces in one move isn’t ideal by any means especially if Wiggins is coming back. It’s more palatable and smart to spread these guys through the league and get more chances. Look how much fun OKC is having watching us and the heat flounder while watching Shai and Dort

 

My opinions are evidence backed, unlike yours

 

LOL

 

careful for what you wish

 

IMO - Tuck/EGo - Wigs/Baze + Minnie #1 + GSW #1 and WS jump on it and their @25 mil in tax savings.

 

1st and 2nd games as a Rocket.

No camp, barely any practice time.



Rockets made the playoffs EVERY single season with James Harden.

No other Houston Rockets franchise player can say the same.

 

MVP candidate last 6 seasons.

 

Those first 2 games shattered LOFs dreams and began their crusade against Harden

 

THIS is what you and your ilk represent.

You delight in being a loser.

Your agenda, not the success of the Rockets is what drives your fandom.

Congratulations.

 

@hakeemthagreat

Like Tilman and his Rockets, greatness escapes you.

 

Sqwaukkkk

Unless you think we are contending, then all EGO is doing is taking up salary space and development time.

He deserves a shot on a good team, and if he is gone by deadline we have max space available. If we can get anything in return for him it is a bonus.

 

I’m with you to a point. I believe he’s worth MORE than a straight dump.

 

Weak response. If you watched each game he quit in, it's really not a conspiracy. His body language, lethargic effort & carelessness proved he quit. Of course when confronted with video PROOF, you keep deflecting. This is common among idiot trolls

 

Even the most feeble minded village idiot is capable of appreciating what Harden added to the Rockets.

Even the flat earthers have admitted that the difference between a perennial top 4 team in the NBA and a bottom 4 team in the NBA is the result of A SINGLE PLAYER.

Nets were a .500 team with KD + Kyrie until the Harden trade. The Nets are 10-2 since Harden, have the GREATEST offense in NBA history (2nd place not even close) AND are the best team in the East, if not the NBA.

The Rockets meanwhile are at the bottom of the NBA rankings and are praying for the top pick in the draft in HOPES of acquiring another player capable of coming close to delivering EIGHT STRAIGHT YEARS of guaranteed playoff appearances.

Harden is the annals of Rockets history as well as NBA history.

Accept it or not, storm the capitol or not, put up deep fake videos or not, the truth is the truth, your ad nauseum abject denials notwithstanding.

 

Well, this thread got derailed

 

We're tanking. Do you not understand how that works?

You're a clear Harden nuthugger, so him quitting doesn't faze you as long as you were entertained. You don't care because you enjoyed him padding his stats every regular season

 

I enjoyed WINNING you miscreant.
