    Mathurin would be a great get, but a rental. When Haliburton comes back, Indiana will be again be a top team in the East. They also are going to get a great draft pick maybe even the top draft pick. I don’t see any reason why they would be shopping him, since they are very well positioned to pay him. They don’t have any incentive to trade with us, since they are young, have all their best players locked up other than Mathurin, and have one of the better cap situations in the league. Only thing they would really covet is Sengun. Last year’s final appearance was not a fluke.

    He is correct. Another guard is requisite. But, whoooo?

    I wanted Dinwiddie in the past as a decent bench guard. He is done, though. That being said, he is the kind of player we probably sign which will have no impact on us winning.

    Maybe Rod Strickland or Mark Jackson is available.

    Did you know...

    There has been a noticeable shift in how Houston is building the roster. In 2024-25, the Rockets had seven players at 23 or younger. This season, Houston is the fourth-oldest team in the NBA, with seven players over 30.

    It's not his game, which has come along nicely. He's impactive and a winning player. I just don't think he'll stay healthy....along with not playing back to backs....

    I can definitely get behind White. But I'm not giving up more than filler plus a pick or two.

    I would love White. DFS for White works well, money wise. But what else would we have to send?

    Damon Stoudamire to the Rox is virtually a done deal.

    Deceptive. Of our 10,734 minutes played so far this season, players under age 25 account for 6,225 of them, and players under 30 account for 7,525. We're still one of the youngest actual rotations in the league, and that's not likely to change with Adams now out for the season.

    Our only guy over 30 who's playing starter minutes is KD, and off the bench Reed and Tari are the two highest-minutes players.

    I don’t see how we’d have the cap space to resign him and Tari this offseason.

    I’ll been his future, and his health. For my eyes - - I’d prefer Tari as 6th man.
