Yard Barker says Eric Gordon questionable tonight. Wood getting cold feet and doesn't want to be traded (Can Wood say he also, "doesn't want max money?") Clippers looking at John Wall https://www.yardbarker.com/nba/teams/houston_rockets/78
Debating whether or not to start a new thread. I've had a hard time getting a read on the Stone Regime, but, according to #sources: Look for the Rockets to be very active around the deadline in terms of deals that could potentially help the team, now or in the future.....IF they think they're in getting good value. You heard it here first, fellows.
Their 1st rounder this year goes to OKC (it's top-12 protected from what I remember reading). But I think they have their 1st rounders for the next few years (?).
They should put together a blockbuster trade. But it looks like there happy tanking year after year and continue to mimic garbage franchise like NY. 2 more years of this, there fan base will be gone. Although if you build threw the draft you may or may not be successful, it really a toss up. When or if Jalen Green Pans out it going to get better. You just dont see all the hype when he doesnt show up and scores like 4 points, and looks like bust.
Id say i go all in on John Collins. He is better than Wood. That would be a turning corner for sure. He could be a franchise center. You need to package him for Wood. Wood is going to ask for more than that.

I know this isn't the purpose of the thread, but this was something alot of us were arguing at the time of the Oladipo deal: we thought the return on Allen was smaller than his real value, and thought that trading away a young Levert for an oft-injured Oladipo was foolish. On both counts, I think we've been proven right. This is not a hindsight is 20-20 issue. Oladipo came here injured, he came here openly saying he did not want to stay in Houston, he had made his express intention to go to Miami as explicit as possible, and we traded with him because his contract was expiring and we thought we could swing that for something or at least get the money off the books so we could be active in free agency. The expiring deals of Olynyk and Bradley were used to sign Theis foolishly, and as far as Stone's record is concerned, those deals were solid losses for this team, which hurts when you're going through a pivotal rebuild.
Are you breaking the news on a trade or just posting hypothetical...please be clear can't find anything on nwamba trade
