    We got everyone else what they wanted.

    James Harden to Brooklyn
    Caris Levert to Indiana
    Jarret Allen to Cleveland
    Victor Oladipo to Miami
    P.J. Tucker to Milwaukee

    Each of these teams is celebrating their shiny new toys acquired for pennies on the dollar. It's an all-you-can-eat buffet for the East and only Philly is not invited. Has there ever been such a generous franchise that would work so hard to grant the wishes of other teams, while asking for nothing in return?

    Do you think Stone serves other GMs with an actual menu of delights, or do they have to write up a wishlist and send it to the North Pole?

    said it yesterday, but what this is showing players is that if u end up here and make it clear u don’t want to be here, the Rockets will likely send u to your destination of choice...Christian Wood is taking notes

    next year or in his final year, Christian Wood will say send me to the Clippers or some sh*t, and the Rockets will oblige taking back whatever they can get in return

    Not to mention all of the healthy scratches so players don’t have to play those mean back to backs!

    Caris LeVert/Allen wanted to go to Indiana/Cleveland?

    News to me. What is wrong with them though lol. Did they think they were changing planes on their way to LAX/SFO?

    Don’t forget sending Westbrook to DC, where he wanted to go play with Beal and under Scott Brooks.

    Said this already, but free agents down the line aren’t going to give a F about any of this.

    We’re making up for how we never paid Barkley, ficked DMo, scapegoated Melo and held him hostage, banished Paul to Oklahoma, and immersed WB in a bad culture ... :rolleyes:
