    Not close to a trade happening.

    Udoka likes Barnes, so Stone is looking into it. I am skeptical a deal gets done, would have to likely be a three way.

    Barnes plays smart and hard - he hits 3’s, knows how to defend and can guard inside and outside. He would help the Rockets win more games and can play multiple positions well.

    I would take Barnes over Capela, who is not as good as he used to be.

    I'm not going to react to this yet, but I'm waiting for evidence to determine whether Stone and Fertys have actually turned a page or whether they are who they were the last 5 years.

    However Nook says this is a Udoka thing... so I'm really not sure what to think.

    Would have been funnier for Van Vleet to hear......Rockets are interested in Scottie Barnes....

    Wrong Barnes.

    I am not trusting Udoker on his Offense. He was a scrub player.

    Dude relied on Brown and Tatum........

    Harrison Barnes was the worst Playoff Performer for them Kings last year......

    I hear the Pacers are now trading for Siakam, who would be their Barnes.....

    Maybe we can establish the United Nations of Borderline Non All Stars.....

    His numbers are worse than DB's and FVV's.

    And he is on a team that is an Offensive juggernaut.

    Is Barnes really a net negative?
    In your proposal TOR gives up a ‘26 first only to get shorter salaries relief.
    I’d think they’d rather get Barnes + the 3 FRP then look to flip him for yet another pick…

    He is also going to be on the wrong side of 30 pretty soon.....I am not sure why we are going after 30 yr olds now.

    When I think of 7th Overall Picks then I think of Curry and Harrison Barnes, they could not be more different and still......

    I mean you said DB wasn't a fit before the season, right? Regardless of him being a allstar Brooks has been one of our biggest contributors. Now you're saying Barnes isn't a good fit. Can you first admit how wrong you were about Brooks?

    That is why you just stick to the one DB and not another skinnier DB who is not the same defender......

    It has nothing to do with fit, you just do not overlap your roster with similar skillsets and a worse scorer than Dillon Brooks.

    Capela fills the bigger need ....right now.

    Get Luke Kennard in time....

    • If you can get him without shedding a 1st round pick, then fine.....do it.
    • He is a shooter but he does not shoot a lot (only 4 times per game)
    • He is an also ran type of player now.
    • You can easily get these type of players through the draft.

    You can easily get these type of players through the draft without giving up anything.

    I was not wrong about Brooks, champ, he still get ejected.....

    I only said he brings some good and some bad.....that was all....people sensationalized my disliking for certain enforcers and hotheads......that is some personal dislike, that is actually none of anyone's business.

    He brings WAY more good than bad. He's one of our best & most important players. You are wrong, Brooks has been a steal.

    This is some President of Basketball Ops type stuff, without the title.

    I’m not crazy about Harrison Barnes, but I trust Udoka.
