[Woj]Rockets finalizing trade to send Gordon to Clippers

Clippers are on the verge of getting Westbrook after he’s bought out…their range is now 1st or 2nd round exit if Kawhi goes god mode to play-in

 

Meh. I guess I'm glad we got something out of EG, but nothing generally exciting, not that I really expected much.

 

This could be Stone's revenge.

He keeps Wall on active roster and makes him report. Then he can fine him every day he doesn't show up...

Sadly, he wants to be know as player friendly so off to the waiver wire...

 

I can't keep up with all these trades lol

 

Praying for the Clippers to sign Westbrook. He will guarantee a Top 14 pick.

 

Can anyone photoshop Wall in a Rockets jersey?

 

Clips won’t be moving up that much. The teams in front of them made major acquisitions too and the Pelicans should improve when Zion returns.

Everything depends on the health of George and Kawhi like you said.

The trade seems fine enough to me.

 

Houston asked the clippers about john walls culture, they responded "trash, beyond trash."

 

Even if Wall was to remain on the team he wouldn't play.

Wall's NBA career is pretty much done. Maybe some other team kicks the tires on him, lets him ride their bench like the Clips were doing, but he just doesn't have much else left to offer.

 

The Clippers are in the mix with a lot of teams for a Western playoff spot. They won't finish higher than the (current order):

Celtics
Nuggets
Bucks
Sixers
Cavs
Grizz
Heat
Suns

The Nets will fall. The Kings...who knows. Nothing suggests they will fall. They are in the mix with the 4 seeds and down in the West, but draft order considers all teams. And the Warriors and Lakers can easily climb too.

Great trade. Whatever you got for Gordon couldn't be combined to move up as far in the draft as the swap will allow. Lastly, you are still betting on Kawhi's health, which isn't a lock. Would it shock anyone if he got hurt again and they went lotto?

 

Right, there are 4 teams ahead of the Clippers that are tied or one game ahead.

The Rockets pick will likely be in the early 20's.

 

Things might be looking up for the future. But this season is done for us. I think they should fire the coach next. But they might wait until a later date to do that.

 

you need not stop

 

It's still crazy to me that two guys each making like 47M this season are basically done in the NBA and out of the league. I guess a 50 TS% and a bad attitude doesn't really cut it lol

 

I dont get the hate, if the pick stays anywhere bwtween 18 and 23 its good to me. 28th pick is worse then the 31st. And the bucks pick may become 30.

30 to 23 is still worth gordon imo.

 

deadline so far

 

Meh about the trade another mid first is better than a late first.

We are waiving Green right? No need to hold onto a Great Value version of Gordon.

 

I have always been a fan of him since he made his debut with the Clippers. I'm somewhat unhappy that he's no longer a Houston Rocket. It's best for him and our team.

 

why wouldn't they. nobody knows when KD is going to be back. phx just needs to get their team back healthy and in the playoffs regardless of seeed. Dallas has a brand new team. How long can the Kings sustain bring a top 3 seed. Memphis has had a terrible month.

I'm not betting on Kawhi's health only. Im betting on them having a good team. They have the depth and got even deeper picking up EG/Bones now

 

So right now that's like 10 spots up the draft?
