    Rockets have a window to win right now. They are lacking a guy they can throw the ball to and get a bucket. They just got the GOAT isolation scorer. This took a lot of balls and i think it might work. I was very against the CP3 for Russ trade fwiw.

    Sadly, Jalen Green is not good right now. I think he could end up being a very very good player but it wasn't going to be here. Brooks, as good as he is at times, was eating away minutes that should have gone to Bari/Tari/Amen/Cam. This is a good gamble that could end up getting a championship in Houston.

    We absolutely have to. No brainer. I know his health/decline/contract is a real concern but this is not optional. we have to do and hope for the best. I do think first 1-2 years will be relatively safe. 3rd year, if everything absolutely goes wrong (out for the season, etc.), i guess we at least have expiring to trade

    once your team is eliminated from the playoffs = you can trade players

    Heck, Pacers traded a pick during the finals IIRC

    I've had plenty of criticisms for Fred, but he had 3 great playoff games vs the Warriors. Jalen had one.

    Hopefully. Really need to load manage all back to back games and day games with Eason, Alpi, Aquaman and Durant. Raffle them out of a hat to see who gets the day off in those situations

    I'm confused. You mean the Spurs team that won 34 games last season and just lost the greatest coach in NBA history? That San Antonio team is laughing at us right now? :rolleyes:

    Best part of this deal, you get out the 30mill contract Jalen had, and if Durant doesn’t work out here, playoff teams will give multiple 1s for him just to get them to the finish line. Jalen was unwanted and seen and seen as a negative asset through the league

    Just getting rid of Jalen is the best move Stone has ever done.
