[Woj]Hawks are trading Justin Holiday and Frank Kaminsky to Houston for Garrison Matthews and Bruno

KMJ

 

At this point anything the Rockets do is an improvement. Not sure how it can get worse.

 

Bruno streak of offensive fouls (2-3) a game the last week or so.. was prob the nail in his coffin.

He wasn’t a great rebounder strangely ..and didn’t move the needle defensively

Garuba is a more flexible defender, with a decent developing 3pt shot and solid pick setter …

 

if/when kpj returns...

 

Celtics got Muscala.

Rox got Kaminsky.

3 pt shooting bigs

 

Yeah the 2 seconds weren’t attached to the reports yet.

Makes sense now.

 

Yawn.

I would guess one of them, plus Green will be waived.

The Rockets supposedly considered Green staying but he wants NOTHING to do with baby sitting and will likely be bought out.

I could see one of Holiday or Kaminsky sticking because there isn't a real market for them. Maybe Holiday could make the back end of a playoff roster but no one is going to be excited to add him in the buyout market like they will with Green.

 

First huge recruit for Coach K..... played a big part in what would happen down the line at Duke.

 

Yeah, with Fernando there were some off the court and personality issues there. He was someone that wasn't so important that they couldn't move on and erase some of the locker room issues.

 

I feel this way about the Head Coach.

 

Kaminsky wasn't terrible on a pretty good Suns team.

I know we want to develop our young guys, but we might as well also have a look at Frank and see what he looks like for 5-10mpg backing up Sengun

 

I wish we could get Armoni Brooks back on the team - UH fan here. Dude has an elite 3-point shot. I know he had his ups and downs here but I don't think he was given enough of a chance. Wish they would've kept him instead of Garrison. Armoni would also create for others in addition to hitting 3s. Another stupid move by the Rockets. Maybe he was too much of a team-oriented player for Silas and Stone.

 

Playing them is meaningless

 

I agree. I don’t think he was given a fair shot. And with the Rockets being the worst 3 point shooting team in the league, they need shooting in the worst way.

 

We can see if they fit and whether or not we want to sign them in the off-season

Vets are needed on any roster. 2024 the Rockets will be trying to win games, so will want vets

 

Apparently, his normal range is now six to seven feet behind the 3-point line.

 

watch silas play these scrubs heavy mins b/c why not
