    His newfound ability to hit meaningful late game shots is giving me “homeless man’s” Bobby Horry vibes. If memory serves, Horry was the epitome of average. But he did the little things and could hit THE SHOT!!

    I’d be shocked if Stone gave up on Reed this early, even if I personally don’t think Reed will ever be a star.

    Reed Sheppard I think will sell tickets. Box office for sure. Reed Sheppard should be Starting.

    The amount of fans getting up from their seats (Never happens with any other player) when Reed Sheppard shoots threes.

    The amount of female fans Reed Sheppard has is impressive.

    You know the trade market is going well for the Rockets when the discussions involve Reed Sheppards looks and. a Butler trade that didn’t happen in 2019.

    There is absolutely nothing at all that Sacramento could offer us that I would even entertain for Sheppard .. terrible take there by whoever is saying Reed is going to Sac town

    Yeah, fans getting up out of their seats definitely win basketball games.

    Sell tickets VS Winning

    I chose winning! While, I don't see anything in Sac wirth trading for, the Rockets do need a PG and/or a shooter off the bench who is consistant

    Sengun would probably get traded before Reed if I'm keeping it a buck.

    If they include this year's unprotected pick then maybe we should consider that

    If they are entertaining a trade of Reed to Sac it will involve their 26 FRP and Monk. Tari would have to included as well as another player to make the money work. I don’t think it will happen, but if Sac offered their FRP unprotected and Monk, it should be an automatic yes.

    I want to dip into 2026 more than anything. But is it wise to trade a player who has flashed star potential and is only 21 for an uncertain draft pick? I’m not so sure. If we knew for sure it would be a top 3 or 4 pick I agree it’s an automatic yes. But the lotto odds are now so flat, you can’t have a ton of confidence that even the worst team gets a top 4 pick. Just look what happened to Washington last draft.

    Reed isn't being put in a deal for anything less than an AllStar. He needs to stay a Rocket.

    This is true. I do think the Rockets may covet Monk, but I don’t see how they get it done without including Reed. Maybe if they are willing to include the 27 Phoenix pick with Tari and Adams? It would definitely be a win now move and DFS would really have to step up.

    Sacramento would not trade its pick for Reed. If the Rockets want the Sacramento pick, the Rockets would have to deal Amen. However, the Rockets would reject trading Amen as fast as Sacramento rejects Reed for their pick.

    I think you are correct. Sac has done some really stupid things in the past few years, but I don’t even know if they have the same FO.
