Yeah, it's highly doubtful that the Rockets will rely on Sheppard and Whitmore to play major roles off the bench. There are probably a few more moves to be made by Stone this off-season.
Yes…but mostly because it’s a low risk,high reward move. I have my doubts on his availability d/t age and use but we didn’t give up much.
Draft picks are always good trade fodder. I mean, with a #10, on average you will get a solid role player. That bunch of 2nd round picks, I really don't care. This is not the NFL, where fresh meat is important. In the NBA, skill matters.
My only concern with this trade is the age gap. We could easily end up with a SGA saga on our hands. Giving up a 23 year old with so much super star potential for a 36/37 year old is always hesitant. I really hope we can win a ring in the next 2 years, and we also need Cam and Reed to become stars too. If not, I think this trade could comeback to haunt us.
I might watched too few Rockets games, but how on earth can we compare Jalen Green to SGA? How good was SGA in Jalens current point of career?
