    What's funny is he tweeted that Beyonce promotes Satan and now he's being traded to her hometown :D

    On second thought, yes. He doesn't fit in with Cam. Cam over A.J. Griffin anytime.

    I want to be excited, but I have a hard time believing this trade will yield similar results as when the Rockets traded peanuts for Luis Scola or Vernon Maxwell. It doesn't pass the smell test to me and I anticipate that he will be a malcontent when he doesn't get any minutes this season since we already have depth at his position.

    By all means though, let's all circle jerk and pretend this an amazing trade for a former lottery talent. :D

    I really like this deal. This is way better than picking #44….

    Rockets are prioritizing shooting. Sheppard and Griffin should both be above 40% next season!

    With Jabari, Reed, and AJ there are some sharp shooters that can nail 3 pointers. I am well aware that AJ was off last season (though his minutes and games played were way down), but his rookie season he shot over 39% for the season on more playing time than last season.

    I mean, he still cost more than KPJ did, so at least he'll probably be worth more than that nightmare.

    He's on contract for $3.9M (24/25).
    He has a team option for $6M (25/26) which is exercisable by 10/31/24
