Rumor Mill/Trade Talks

I’d thrown in a FRP as long as it’s not one of ours or Brooklyn’s.

 

Be nice to get rid of Wall too honestly.

 

Boston would trump that easily. If we really want Gordan this could be the only way.

“Nice”? Talk about understatement. It’d be fan-go**amn-f***ing-tastic.

 

Wall is basically Westbrook 2.0 but with slightly less infuriating plays and less great plays. We need someone that knows how to use Christian Wood to the fullest in the PnR game like a James Harden. Closest we have to that is KPJ, and Wall’s ball hogging ass is front of him in the depth chart. I’d say to trade Wall now, considering he’s injury prone, and when he’s healthy he’s not adding as much, simply shooting bricks. That last play was terrible. We need a guard that can run the PnR, and feed Wood.

 

we need a point guard that passes

 

..... Are we pretending the team who's message board you're on, doesn't exist?

 

Works for me.

 

Lmao I'm just so pessimistic about it... man I wish it would just happen.

 

Rafael Stone has his work cut out for him. Oladipo we can trade; the return will be okay, we should get a first or a player worthy of a middling first.

Wall with that contract? I wish Toronto would three-way us to get Lowry to Miami, as long as we mainly wind up with expiring and scraps. Wall on this team does not belong. His salary is making him think he has to do everything; but in that, “everything” excludes the important thing: winning.

And winning is not much on the menu these days. So, good for the tank, bad for other players.

 

Now I know why the Wizards sucked so bad...

 

Nonono.

Wiggins is a scrub!

Al Horford >>>>>>>>>>>

 

Neither Burks nor Noel fit Magic mandate for young talent, below are better win-win options IMO.

After reading the Athletic article.
We all know about the restrictions on the Detroit pick so this is them agreeing to drop the protections

Rockets in:
Grant, Snell, Dunn
Rockets out:
Dipo, Exum, Detroit 1st, Bucks 1st

Pistons in:
Collins, Exum
Pistons out:
Grant, Dombouya

Hawks in:
Oladipo, Dombouya, Detroit 1st, Bucks 1st
Hawks out:
Collins, Dunn, Snell

 

Eric actually compliments Wood better than Wall...

 

Love this trade for Rockets, think it also works for Pistons.

Hawks get 2 FRP, question is will Stone give up that many FRP to make this happen?

6'5 Porter
6'4 Wall
6'4 Tate
6'7 Jerami
6'10 Wood

 

Trading for Grant is such a stupid move IMO.

if you didn’t trade for Simmons, there is zero reason to trade for Grant, who is older, less talented, and also stuck with a multi-year contract, AND we are to throw in a first round pick at least to make that work.

It’s a terribly inconsistent subsequent move. I want none of that.

 

I won’t be mad If Cade comes in with Grant/Wood in place.

 

People who price in the Rockets drafting Cunningham with certainty is destined for a rude awakening.

I have a piece of advice for you. Think and operate as if we are getting the 18th pick. It makes life easier.

 

If we going trade away multiple first round picks, wall better be involved.that’s the only way I entertain that type of trade scenario
