    [MTG Pod] Kevin Durant openly questions guards like FVV and Reed as starter material

    I think wings and forwards have more leeway in who they defend even though the league is better than ever at hunting matchups. Big guards too....

    [MTG Pod] Kevin Durant openly questions guards like FVV and Reed as starter material

    KD just had a season with Tyus Jones as his starting PG so that probably colors his opinion a lot. If you're a short guard you either need to play...

    Cam on the trade block

    I don't want to give up on Cam, but I'm also no longer very optimistic about his growth. KD has never been the mentor type so I wouldn't bank on...

    NT MLE Free Agent Options - 2025 Offseason

    Gary Trent Jr. would have been the top of that list a few seasons ago because he actually played D. However, it's dropped off considerably. THJ is...

    Fred extension - 2 year 50 million

    I agree with you completely. Some people have said that because no team has cap space the most he could get on the market is the non-taxpayer MLE,...

    Fred extension - 2 year 50 million

    I know everyone is very concerned about Fertita's finances, but Fred being paid over the MLE he could have gotten on the market doesn't really...

    Fred extension - 2 year 50 million

    The Rockets hired Ime and listened to his input even over their initial plans. This isn't something to criticize them over.

    Are you happy with the Kevin Durant trade?

    The trade is addition by subtraction (Jalen). It was worth it just to get out of his terrible contract. KD is just the cherry on top.

    Our window...older stars and the chain reaction

    Point taken. I think Russ was very clearly in decline by the time the Rockets traded for him. There were a significant number of people on this...

    Our window...older stars and the chain reaction

    When people argue against win now moves they're talking about the wrong ones. They're either overpaid veterans in decline, were never franchise...

    {Official} Dillon Brooks appreciation thread

    I was completely wrong about Dillon. He brought everything they said he would. Good defense, veteran experience, culture setter, value contract. I...

    Follow up Moves: KD aftermath

    Can we afford Harden? I thought that FVV with his $44M team option was an absolute no go because it puts us well into the 1st apron. We need him...

    Cam Whitmore putting in work

    Trading away Jalen and Brooks frees up playing time for others. They averaged 33 and 32 minutes, respectively. KD will get about 33-35 of those,...

    Follow up Moves: KD aftermath

    It's tempting to make other win now moves. We still have assets to go after guys like Derrick White or even Giannis. However, I don't think we...

    Durant traded to Houston for Green, Brooks, #10 pick, and multiple 2nd rounders

    I thought Jalen had to go regardless, so him going out along with keeping Phoenix's 27 and 29 picks I'm pretty happy with the trade. I'd like...
