LOL. If anybody gives a single frp for Irving they are complete dumbasses. Dallas should have to pay to get off that contract. Of course, they have no need to get rid of it, because they aren’t going to compete anyway and have to meet minimum salary requirements.
Yahoo Sports published it as "rumored" after originally posting it incorrectly as "confirmed" from some dude named Frederick Okocha.
I believe Kyrie and FVV are coming back from relatively the same injuries, so their contracts are more useful as filler in bigger deals versus as an individual asset. I think Kyrie has 2 years left on his deal, while Fred has one. Unless we swap them for each other, I don't see us in the Kyrie mix.
Get rid of Sengun. Put 3 good shooters around them. 1-2 need to be able to create. 1 needs to be able to block shots. Ausar is essentially the center on offense. Yes, I think it could work. The twin element would be impactful. Durant for Robinson/LeVert/Ausar.
If this team trades Durant just to get Asuar here then not only do I want Stone gone I want Fertita to pack his bags and leave houston! A team full of non shooters who can't dribble in 2026? This team is a joke. If Amen wants to play with his brother then we can do Amen and whoever for Cade.
LOL the first thing Gooner said when the season ended was he wanted to spend the summer training with KD. Now we see a post of KD in his Israeli drone bunker with his teammates but no Alpi. The ashy kneed one must have sold Sengun to pound sand. I honestly don't know if The Snake worked out with Sengun, but based on his burner -- I doubt it.
"I just brought you all here - to my underground IDF funded bunker to watch my drones kill people....... and to let you all know that the pleasure has been all yours. You all are r****ded, you all cannot shoot - cannot pass --- some of you cannot even dribble. This year has been the worst of my basketball life. Worse than all of my injuries. I could have played in the Lakers series, but why? You all are fukking terrible. I am gone and speaking of leaving.... you all have 90 seconds to vacate my bunker and be on the road before my drones will attack you. Later biotches."
If they want to score more than 79 points a game this season they prob ably don't trade KD. Careful what you wish, you just make get it. Careful what you wish, you may regret it.
You couldn't bring yourself to type "borderline ret**ded," ay? If I had been Jabari Smith, I would've at least screamed in his face about it. (Fisticuffs = too dramatic.)
Is this for real? If so, Stone and Ime should trade him as fast as possible. PF needs to get moving too.
You trade KD, it makes 0 sense. KD is you best player and play finisher. Trading him now is a severe setback
in the photo it looks like maybe they had been fishing? I am kind of surprised that we haven’t had an article come out talking about the current state of the team. I know they all want to ignore the burner stuff, but either the players are cool or they aren’t. Nothing to be said on the direction of the team, other than what we can glean by the free agent signings, and I guess those would seem to indicate that we are going to have Durant next year. I am glad to see a few of them together, but I definitely would like to see the entire team. it is early in the off-season, but you think there would be some sort of attempt to control or create a narrative either way.
Most of us feel Alperen is doomed, as far as the Rockets go, so if KD ("you guys are a pack of r****ds!") stays and Alpi goes, not a shocker. Alperen and Ime go together like Netanyahu and the Ayatollah. And we're stuck with Ime Udoka (big contract, too many years), soooooo.... At the same time, if the right trade comes along, not a big thing he was pictured hanging out with the Rockets he tolerates more than others (I don't see Jabari Smith in there, either).
I’m resigned to KD not getting traded. It’s clear the org is not interested in recouping assets that could help the team in the future. This is just part of their MO. Continued terrible asset management. I’m just putting the KD trade idea out of my mind. Not gonna happen.
