Durant traded to Houston for Green, Brooks, #10 pick, and multiple 2nd rounders

Warmly and gently welcome, Mr. Durant.

 

Some of the regulars just convert to that religion. They adapt to whichever is the current star player.

 

The fact that we get to keep Tari, Bari, and Reed and we dump Green’s trash ass and only give up one first rounder. This is perfect.

Brooks was expendable. We needed more minutes for Tari Cam and Bari.

 

Stone negotiating for Durant is like watching Trump negotiating with Iran...

BOOM

 

Yeah - he has an argument that he is the greatest overall shooter in NBA history.

If he is healthy - his shooting and ability to shoot in any circumstance will have a profound influence on his Rockets teammates.

 

Well, not happy about not having a reason to watch the draft and REALLY don't like Durant but better than having emo boy on this team. So glad that crap is gone. Can we now flip Durant for a Top 3 pick?

 

Can we trade for Kay Adams.

 

Stone is the ****ing man.

 

I sincerely hope you're right and my concerns are unfounded.

 

Wonder what the final offers were from SATX and Miami

 

So far all they done is trade the #10 pick in a mediocre draft for Kevin Durant. It was clear that Jalen Green wasn’t the answer and Brooks was signed with the purpose of eventually trading his contract.

There are injury risks with KD but he has a chance to really help guys like Sheppard and Jabari and Sengun on offense.

Stone is pretty cautious - I wouldn’t expect him to take big risks.

 

Amen, Bari & Tari are all better defenders than Brooks, and still on our team. If Cam is locked-in and gets some minutes, he can also defend well. DGMW, I really liked what Brooks gave us. But I think that he’s defensive abilities are a little bit overrated. He gives a lot of heart and hustle, but he is not a monster-level defender.

 

He did though. This is a waste IMO.

 

No way to control him. He's...

 

I love pulling up ESPN and seeing this....

 

awesome trade. nothing of value was lost. well not true, what if the #10 by a huge stroke of luck becomes another jalen williams. that's the only way it would suck, but the known quantities? please no brainer. the two worse playoff performers ... gone. a bunch of 2nd round picks ... who gives a ****. jalen green is who he is: poor b-ball iq and poor real world iq (impregnating a 40 year old career pass around). he's just not what his fans think he is.

 

3 amazing things just happened

1. We got KD!! So good for the team over the next 1-3 years as the young guys develop

2. We kept all our young guys and traded only 1 FRP (who we had no time to play anyway!!!)

3. Jalen Green is gone!!

 

Durant brings up a good point, it often takes more than a year to find the find championship chemistry after a trade. That's gettin real.

 

Wait, Bob Barker is still alive?
