    F trading for John Wall. Ofc, we all know he will never wear Red, but 10 years from now non-Rockets fans will think we wanted John Wall more than EGO.

    we traded EG too late and didn't even take the 1st round picks offered to us..

    Bruno was solid and Garry Bird is a meme but I doubt Justin Holiday and Frank the tank will be better...

    A-. Cut some fat, freed up minutes, set up the offseason - and most importantly - going all in for Victor. Also got an intriguing lock on a mid lottery pick with all of our swaps.

    Immediate reaction from Clutch, Roosh and others on Rockets Talk was also very positive.

    At this point we are all so cynical that any silver lining makes us euphoric.

    This trade is a c. Would have been lower if we added long term salary would have been better if we added higher picks. As it stands, it was something that needed to be done and designed to clean house and not impact the future so a C

    @Lachard Binkley casually saying that the Rockets are in win mode next season. You anti tankers don't have that much longer to wait. #VictorOrDeath #ScootingOnUp
