    We probably end up picking up Russell Westbrook off waiving his player option to become UFA.

    I dunno about the money, but I would argue this would be great revenge against GSW.

    John Collins now on the trade block. Can rebound, hit threes, and play above average defense. Not sure what the Jazz may want but I feel like he would be a great final piece

    Would rather get Sexton than Collins, but not sure what that deal would look like

    Jrue Holiday is supposedly upset about being traded to Portland.
    I wonder if the Rockets sniff around him rather than Fred...

    We should pass on Jrue. Not worth the long term contract as he ages.

    Does he actually play good D? I thought that was the whole knock against him.

    Been on the Collins train for at least 3 months. Great addition to the front court. He is a rental and should be really affordable. If Jabari is having an off shooting night he can come in and put up some numbers. Jabari can move to SF at times and he and Collins would provide a really nice perimeter shooting duo. 1 Rocket frp in 2029 or 2030 would probably get it done along with expiring Landale and Holiday.

    He is also a king of the pick and roll

    Yeah. We could run it on either side with Alpi or Amen, and have Bari or KD on either side waiting for the kick out. Even just the prospect of having either Harden/Alpi 2 man game or Harden/Amen 2 man game sounds insane, then when you think we'd have both and neither would even be out first option because of true FRANCHISE PLAYER KEVIN MOTHER****ING DURANT BABY!

    or the game that I think he really played well against Sacramento I remember right. Harden got a little bit mad at him because he went past the ball

    Haven't watched Collins since he became a Jazz but historically that's the knock on him. But more importantly he's a pure PF. Can't really guard centers or wings. So there's a lot of redundancy with KD who also can't chase wings these days. I don't hate him for the Rockets in a vacuum but don't see his fit next to KD.
