    It was headlined by 7 potential future unprotected first round picks, dope.

    LMAO, these sycophants will believe anything to ignore the stupidity of this organization. “7 picks!” - as in, 4 swaps that won’t convert and a few late first rounders.

    Keep fighting the good fight champ.

    I can't believe that not one domino has fallen. Tomorrow is going to be like musical chairs when the music stops.

    It wasn’t 100% clear when the trade happened. We could also swap the Blazers’ pick, and both teams were close

    Had no idea you could see the future. I can't. The picks might end up crap, or maybe really good. The future is uncertain and they are unprotected. I do know that today they hold value and can be flipped if so desired.

    As a disinterested observer I can tell you that I care much more about the picks than Oladipo and I think most people think the draft compensation is the "headline." It was covered that way too. Also, as others have pointed out, Oladipo will likely turn into additional draft compensation. So it's not really fair to Stone to try to marginalize the draft compensation and then call him a dope for not trading for draft compensation.

    Good teams have been built with less.

    Is the future uncertain enough to delude yourself to believe the Rockets are going to be swapping picks with the Nets anytime soon?

    Today, the picks hold little value because the Nets have three all-stars including perhaps the best player in the league - who is 31. The swaps hold basically no value. Oladipo is mediocre.

    Believing otherwise is just a pathetic fantasy. But yeah, the future is uncertain lol.

    I have it on good authority that you can get in a bit of trouble throwing that word around. Probably best to not.

    It was 6,000% known that we wouldn't finish with a better record this season once we traded Harden.
