[Shams] Fred opts in

Although who knows, maybe there's a pre-FA Tari deal after all, which could change the calculus. I think we'd be less rigid about the first-apron hard cap if we had certainty on Tari's number.

 

Did Fred really just scrub his IG of anything Rockets/NBA? Or has it always looked like that?

 

I'm going to guess something like $20M over three years if we sign him

 

Fred coming in next season like

 

fat scrub

 

Man I really don't understand the hate on this board. What is he supposed to do? I have no hate towards Fred, he took a pay cut that benefited both sides. He was also our most effective player when we were in a playoffs with Golden State. I think we could have won at least five or six more games if he was on the floor last year.

 

Why does it matter? He still on the team when the season starts.

 

Fred comes out just before he opts in and says he totally blew out his knee!

EITHER HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE TRADED OR HE'S DEVALUING HIS MARKET VALUE.

 

Kyrie/Smart/Reed would be a great trio.

 

Switching out one midget guard with a bum knee for another!

 

For who? Certainly not the Rockets. The midget brigade.

 

Open to hearing better realistic options than these 3.

 

Rockets aren't getting dumber, we're getting smart

 

There’s too many to list depending on who you are willing to trade. Unfortunately, the time to trade was before the 2026 draft. Houston is all about the FVV/Smart tandem. Reed’s minutes about to get cut and Okogie gets to walk. So here’s your tandem FVV, Smart, Reed.

 

His whole “bet on yourself” schtick

 

I got dumber just reading that sh*t.

 

That I get but we were talking realistic trades. Not many tall point guards you can realistically trade for that are better than Kyrie.
