    The only positive I see is freeing up a spot for KPJ to get some minutes to end the season.

    Everyone should be mad that he traded for Vic in the first place. If the endgame was to acquire a player that could be parlayed into at least one 1st rounder he should have kept LaVert. Even after his cancer scare Caris would have netted us at least a 1st rounder. Stone tried to play Settlers of Catan when all he needed was to play tic tac toe.

    How hard? You are eligible for 2-yr, $45 million extension. What's so hard about that?

    oh a good number of folks appreciated it at the time. It's the rest of the folks that are getting a reality check now

    Not receiving any young talent or a first round pick is disappointing. The Fournier trade nabbed at least 2 second rounders.. I wonder what Golden state was offering us earlier.

    Stone has been an awful GM so far.

    Yeah.... I think this is a little harsh but overall true.

    The Nets deal would look a lot better had the Rockets kept Prince and Allen and LeVert and worked on dealing those players individually and a later date...... Allen definitely would have brought a return of two #1 picks from the right team and someone would have given a mediocre #1 for LeVert at a later date like this summer.

    I don't want to completely pile on.... the Rockets did sign Tate and they traded for Porter and drafted Martin.... but the trades so far for the most part haven't been anything special.

    I didn't even think about that, if we dont get into top 4, we are essentially screwed for picks this year if we dont get into top 4. Let's hope Dipo destroy that team

    The team is in good position. Its all about perception.

    James Harden: $41M
    Bradley & Olynyk: $18M

    Massive savings for Tilman and Co.

    Honestly none of it matters. Tilman is going to keep us irrelevant for at least a decade. He’s a younger, poorer Donald sterling.

    Wtf they have so many young players & we couldn’t get even one.

    Bobby Marks on the Jump shaking his head is disbelief at our return from Levert, Allen, Oladipo.

    Welp back in the tank. Gotta go all in on that bottom 3 record, 52% thing.

    OK, so that makes this slightly better. At least you're likely getting a better first rounder than the one from Brooklyn. It's not nothing. It's just slightly better than nothing.

    the most important thing is keeping our top 4 pick this year and drafting a nice young player with potential

    yeah, the Dipo trade sucks ass, but whatever...the real prize is the top 4 pick
