    Guys

    Looking at all these trades proposals and you all are trading the wrong players!

    They are trying to get RID of Sengun, not keep him

    We need another player that can attack the rim and distribute. This sounds a bit crazy, and the fit would be tough but I am thinking about Ja Morant. I would ensure we are protected from his lack of character (which could change but rarely does), and injuries to an extent. Then I am focused on building around Amen and seeing what happens with adding Morant there.

    To Memphis
    FVV
    DFS
    Future FRP via Milwaukee
    2028 FRP via Houston, top 8 protected, conveys if Morant plays 80% of the games in the two seasons.

    To Houston
    Ja Morant
    Ty Jerome
    AJ Green
    Miles Turner
    Future FRP Via Milwaukee
    Jakucionis

    To Milwaukee
    Sengun
    Capela


    Turner/Adams
    Smith/Eason
    Durant/AJ Green
    Amen/Reed
    Ja/Jerome/Jakucionis


    So this does represent moving Amen off the ball quite a bit. Not only this year, but philosophically if things work out for a long time. This also has us going pretty small. Everyone can shoot but Adams and Amen and we don't count on Kasparas much in 2026/2027. Green is locked in on a decent deal for a few years. Jerome can be a steadying presence if all else fails or goes haywire with JA.

    So, trade Sengun for Ja? And give up draft capital?

    Good lord.

    To be fair we would also take on turners bad contract as well here

    would be so happy with Scoot, knowing the Rockets Jrue would be the target because everything must be Ime related.

    Well, getting Kevin Durant is quite a haul.

    Hopefully they are trying to get rid of KD first and foremost...

    Indy was good because of spacing. KD is an ISO player that destroys spacing. I doubt there interested, but I would make the trade in a second.

    With morant now being in Portland and they traded from their big depth to get him, a SnT with tari eason for a guard could make sense .

    Eason for sharpe ?

    Jrue is the guy that fits the most for us. Championship pedigree and he can start right away. Great two way player

    Since we do seem to be going for it I wonder what holiday would cost?

    I really believe that we have to find another player that can attack. Ideally, for this season they are better than Thompson but hopefully it would get passed up pretty quickly. I am just not sure who is left on the trade market in that regard.

    I really wish we would just bring in an elite offensive mind and allow them to build an offense around

    Sengun/Adams(for screening and Oreb purposes)
    Smith
    Durant
    Eason/Reed
    Amen/FVV

    the rotation is definitely a person or too short of contention, but I still believe the correct offense of mind could build an offense around that starting lineup.

    Can you imagine if Rockets have 1st round exit in 3 or 4 seasons in a row?

    Imagine? It's 100% going to happen. The team is doubling down on dudes that can't shoot or score.
