    This isn't a discount at the shag and bag.
    Premium value.

    Yeah, whoever targets him will likely use/develop him the right way....

    Thank God! I assumed we were gonna lock in on keeping the Island of Misfit Toys together for another year….glad to know we’re open to change..and yes, Amen, with all his faults, is who I’d hold on to first as well. Please trade into this draft within the first 15 picks.

    If the Heat miss Giannis, send KD to the Heat. Send Adams as well in exchange for Herro, Ware, Jovic and #13 (we take on a bad salary to get Ware).

    Draft a PG at 13 and find a 2guard for the tax MLE

    Well, since you asked, I’d immediately vomit. Why you guys want that guy back so much is so wild to me. Had he been drafted by anyone else you’d want nothing to do with him

    if it’s between picking Amen or Sengun to move forward, I’m definitely picking Amen

    at least he can be special on defense, and although I don’t have much hope for his shooting ability, if he ever developed even just a decent jump shot, he could achieve greatness

    he has way more potential than Sengun

    hopefully Stone can sweet talk GMs with all the bullsh*t advanced stats the SOFs use to make Sengun look better than he is…

    I don't want him back either, his contract is a negative asset. It's why the proposed deal I sent had Dillon Brooks (sorely missed) returned.


    Amen is the easier fit if you view both players as even.

    He fits with everyone but Sengun out of the five guys.

    Sengun doesn't fit with Amen or Reed.

    Stone isn't quite ready to accept that he made the wrong pick on passing on Castle. Amen went into that decision as much as them liking Reed over Castle. They drafted for fit at pick #3 albeit in a bad draft. Castle has outperformed all estimates.

    I feel like they might be desperate enough to do this, just not sure we could get both Ware AND their pick. Might be only one or the other. They are a stingy franchise

    Is there anywhere else reporting this? I can’t even find where Iko has tweeted it. Last thing he tweeted was that Jaylen Brown would welcome being traded to Milwaukee. Did Iko say this on a podcast or something meting?

    Yup, Dickerson & Gooner returning confirmed.

    Anytime you can build around 6’7 Simmons/Westbrook, you do it.

    Iko: Rockets taking more of a wholesale approach than simply the "run it back" mantra previously held.
    Also Iko: Rockets will extend Amen, retain Tari, retain Fred

    Also Iko: Finna-Sht is generating trade interest (lol)

    I have beach front property in Montana to sell you.

    CF: Sengun is overrated, overpaid trash. Get that bum ass outta here! Dickerson is overrated, cancerous trash! Cut the cancer out!
    Also CF: Give us your best player(s)/prospects/picks

    I also have beach front property in Montana to sell you.

    Maybe Stone can finesse another franchise with a Jabari Smith Jr trade

    The Bulls are not trading for Sengun lol!
    The projected top 4 picks all have a projected higher ceiling than Sengun.
    I could see us being a facilitator as a 3rd team in the Giannis trade to get Tyler Herro or Ware.
    Jabari and Amen are probably our 2 safest players on our team.

    finesse?

    pistons will offer Tobias Harris at most.

    I've always took Iko as a Rockets FO mouth piece, if he's putting this out there it's because he was instructed to do so?


    KD for Jimmy/11 would be great, or KD to the Heat for Wiggins/13

    Sengun to the Bucks for Ware in a Giannis deal would be interesting.

    Of course not but if you trade away your all stars or at least one of them, I need an all star coming in. Otherwise no championship hopes at all. They might be trying to steal Giannis though.

    I wouldn't mind KD for #13, Herro, and Jakucionis, but I doubt those would be Ime's kind of guys.

    I’d be shocked. Making a move is the right call, but doing so is admitting that they made a mistake and I just don’t see them doing that. I’d love to be proven wrong.
