    I definitely pray that Oladipo is traded for something worthwhile even if I don’t have my hopes up for various reasons

    lol, I started becoming more negative during the summer of 2018 when we were dumpster diving for scrubs coming off 65 wins and a game 7 in the WCF...Tilman has me jaded

    now we’re out here getting happy when KPJr does something in a game down 20 that Harden would do every other possession...I never liked tanking before this year, but here I am now rooting for L’s because we have no choice

    some of it is coaching, and some of it is the lack of talent and spacing, but Dipo’s just never been that good to begin with outside of 1 season

    he’s simply an above average player with significant injury risk who wants the shot attempts, usage, and salary of a star...except this year he’s way below average

    I appreciate the kind words. It’s a weird time of transition for the franchise and the world in general. So much negative energy everywhere it sucks that there’s so much fighting on a place that should be full of Rockets fans having fun together.

    Indeed the Minnie pick. The lux savings alone would pay for next year’s Dipo salary. Since I know Dipo intimately, tho not biblically, I ‘know’ (cough, cough) he’d find himself a perfect fit in The Cuty by the Bay.

    C'mon Ra-fell, pull the trigger!

    But Duckett is not nearly as creative as the posters on CF.

    Jimmy, Bam and PJ will form a damn good defensive trio

    Amico is a horrible source, FYI


    Remember:
    Amick : good
    Amico : bad

    True, but there is certainly context involved and that context needs to be considered.

    Same goes for PJ. Same went for James before we traded him.

    Word up.

    Fans would rather spike the football on the team "sucking", than have some fun looking at the bright side and hoping for the best.

    SAME EXACT THING WAS HAPPENING IN 2018... :D

    He’s just aggregating from a Chris Mannix piece this morning, who has better sources. He said executives think Miami is the favourite.

    Would love either of Precious or KZ Okpala tbh

    If Lowry is truly off the table, Dipo is the only available game in town.

    Contending teams, especially in the East, that are even considering trying to topple the Nets need to make another move.

    Heat, 76ers, Knicks, Clips, Mavs are all desperate for more firepower.

    Patience is good.

    I think it is Precious Achiuwa a Small Forward that fits the Starting Lineup.

    Plus he is Young, Athletic Player. Upgrade over Danuel House.

    I just don’t understand why do we need AG for? We’re not trying to win and in a tank mode so what’s the need for him?
