    That’s exactly what this garden gnome is doing. He’s trying to force the rockets to keep him and resign him. He’s not done scamming this incompetent ass gm

    If he picks it up, I believe we can trade him instantly. His no trade clause last season was a function of the current CBA. It expires as soon as he opts in

    If he denies, it we have access to our MLE. Just let him go and grab somebody else.

    Ime and Stone should be fired. I still believe the target is Kyrie and yes that is an indictment of how stupid these idiots were last season

    I don’t like all this talk about how bad the injury was. Doesn’t help the rockets. Timing definitely suspect.

    Its pretty established in professional sports that the Uber athletic players stay longer in the league. Cause they can decline and still be athletic enough to play. But players who barely has enough NBA athleticism to begin with....

    Should be a good expiring contract added in a trade for impact player.

    He should be grateful to this organization regardless of how his career ends. We gave him 130 million over 4 years.

    Busted VanVleet + busted Finna Sht for busted Ja

    lol I’m joking

    $25M to Fred
    $13.3M to DFS
    $13M to Adams
    $7M to Capela
    Soon $20M+ to Tari

    So much wasted money for old, injured guys, guys who play half a season, guys who can’t play back to backs

    doesn't matter what fred says. if he does get traded, it's not because he's healthy or he's a good player, it's because he's an expiring contract. but knowing that vegetable stone, he's going to re-sign him to 3 more years.

    Which is why I raise an eyebrow when people say Stone is great at contracts…. Green was traded in part because Stone regretted the contract… Capela and DFS both are negative contracts… FVV is way under water and Adams is at best a neutral contract.

    Sengun and Jabari are solid deals but most the others skew towards the negative.

    Lmfao that’s just perfect. Don’t worry Fred, stone and ime have full faith in you as our savior

    it’s astonishing how the front office aren’t even attempting to make any move or have yet to make a move. I am not sure if they are targeting an all star in the upcoming seasons and that’s why they standing pat but Kd is 37 years old so wtf is the direction here and what are they trying to do

    Makes sense now that they drafted another short hefty oompaloompa who can’t finish at the rack. Can’t have enough of those on your team.

    He's short for sure but wasn't he one of the better finishers in college?

    Apparently not. At least the scouting reports I saw. Everything is midrange or deep.
