    Rockets are shiit at developing young talents.

    They never give them real chance.

    Opens up roster spots, makes us more flexible. They weren't difference makers, We've got plenty of youth to develop.

    This can't be the full trade.

    Kaba is 27 and will never step foot in the league.


    I'm waiting for the corresponding move.


    I really hope it's not laying Brooks 28 mil a year.

    OK, but you just drafted those guys in the first ****ing round. TyTy literally was a first round pick a year ago. And now you're giving up a 2nd rounder to move on from him? No, I'm sorry, that's atrocious asset management. If they didn't have minutes for those guys right now, that's fine. But you don't dump them just to dump them.

    Dude sounds like a fraternity house... https://www.proballers.com/basketball/player/62771/alpha-kaba

    This seems like we're paying ATL to take our young role players. Something must be happening or this doesn't make much sense.

    Ironically Tilman has to spend otherwise he won't get his check at the end of year once those tax paying team distributions go out.

    Interesting, not passing judgment just yet if it's a good or bad move, the guy was a former Turkish league MVP like Sengun. He's going to be 27, I wonder why he still hasn't hit the league if he's just plain not good enough or other reasons.

    Perhaps this is setting up another move or maybe just a simple dump for salary/roster spots. We'll see what happens when everything clears.

    Waste 2 first round picks.

    Rockets are hot trash at developing young talents. They even doesn't get any chance.
