    No FRP should be on the table for Coby White, but for a better player, the Rockets would be best to use their own 31 FRP. If they use any of the other ones it impacts our ability to make trades with the Phoenix, Dallas, or Nets pick. Obviously the Nets pick should be off limits for anything other than a star. The Dallas pick may be just as valuable, but I think they have more ability to upgrade their team by 29 than the Nets by 27. I wouldn’t give up a FRP for a Coby White rental.

    On Adams. He is overrated by Clutchfans. He is a good backup center with a costly price tag. Double bigs sucks and if he comes back this year, Ime’s dumbass would probably revert back to using it. We’d be better off trading for a minimum salary guy like Deandre Jordan for Capella insurance. We are locked into Adams for two more years after this one. I doubt we can find a taker this year, but if we can without attaching assets we should pull the trigger.

    Most of us would. What would you be willing to give up for him? I think he will cost more than Coby.

    You may be right. I may be crazy.
    If you are correct, are we going to get the, "We were looking at a couple things, we were close, but really, in the end, we like our team, Fred's timetable is looking good......"

    That’s exactly the quote we are going to get. I’m not going to be upset, because I know it is going to happen.

    Coby White actually is as bad defensively as some people think Reed Sheppard is.

    Depends on the price...if its DFS and a protected 1st or 2nd Rounders...not a bad pick up. By trading for Durant...Rockets have a smaller window and they have to swing for trades.

    Anyone know if White could be Signed and Traded during off season?

    “I like Coby but I’m not giving up Tari”
    “I like Coby but I’m not giving up Steven”
    “I like Coby but I’m not giving up DFS, who is rounding into form”
    “I like Coby but I’m not giving up Reed”
    “I like Coby but I’m not giving up Jabari”
    “I like Coby but I’m not giving up Capela, who is finally shedding his fat suit.”


    lol so you really don’t like Coby.

    You’re not getting him for Isaiah Crawford.

    Jabari and Sengun can only get traded for SGA, Luka or Jokic.

    - CF

    He comes with bird rights, his current contract was signed using bird rights - he's been with the Bulls since 2019 (at least 3 consecutive seasons without changing teams as a FA or being waived).

    I think Rockets are interested in Dosonmu...not White...Reporter's source probably mixed up names and teams.

    Close to accurate on Sengun. I think Jabari is a good young role player with an affordable contract to grow into, but certainly not untouchable. There might be a trade out their for Sengun that I would entertain, but not the boneheaded one for Giannis.

    In other words, Stone made a phone call so he won't be lying after no deal at the deadline when he claims he "was working the phones"?

    I wouldn't give up Tari for White, but a late first...yes.
