    Poor Fred might mess up and have 20 assists some games without trying @Reeko. He has never worked with a scorer of this magnitude.

    What do yall think greens actual value was? We’re lucky to get back any positive asset for him let alone K freaking D. We lost the weakest link in our young core and the 10th. We still have a war chest of high value assets. We’re in position to win now and later. This deal is perfect imo.

    LOL did i just read that Phoenix got better...

    Im thinking 50ish games.

    He will be load managed and saved for the playoffs which is exactly what we need him for.

    Lady said he would be a great fit there. He is a great fit with any team to ever walk on an nba court.

    Offense better step up now, who's the scorer when Durant is out for 20 games? If Amen improves on offense, look out league.

    I will say I can’t wait for the first Sengun to KD assist.

    Excited for the culture change. People couldn’t take us seriously with Green and Brooks.

    Jabari and Reed gotta take a huge step this season. We got worse defensively for sure, but offense should take a step

    I'm surprised at how little the Rockets gave up. I thought it would have taken multiple firsts and/or Thompson

    The Suns gave in first - good trade for Stone and the Rockets. They give up the 5 second rounders (which mean little to the Rockets). Green has no value, Brooks is whatever - only asset is the #10 in a mediocre draft.

    It’s a risk but KD has a lot of upside.

    And? At 37 he still put up incredible numbers. His game is aging so well just like LBJ, Harden and Curry. Being 35 isn’t a death sentence to elite players anymore.
