    Lakers would likely try to negotiate the swaps, but realistically their '26 pick will be around #20, and they'd end up with two all time...

  2. carl_herrera replied to the thread Random Trade Thread 2025-26.

    Below is a thought exercise of a trade construction, to rationalize our future. The money and draft picks work on draft night. Folks on...

    Everybody around the NBA has known for a decade what it looks like when you put multiple non shooters on the floor, and the defense...

  4. carl_herrera liked xtruroyaltyx's post in the thread Amen got exposed.

    I dont think Amen will ever become a good shooter. A lot of people point to Kawhi, but he was never as bad of a shooter as Amen, maybe...

  5. carl_herrera replied to the thread Why did we get KD?.

    Here’s the left field answer: the problem for the Rockets was the Luka trade. Our FO has been stockpiling high value picks and young...

    If anyone thinks the Rockets FO would trade a FRP to rent a defensively challenged 2 guard who contributes nothing but streaky scoring...

    1. You have no idea what the suns will look like next season 2. Giving up a 1st for a rental is a COMPLETE waste and incredibly stupid

  8. carl_herrera liked Gakatron's post in the thread Rockets in the mix for Coby White.

    He is not a winning player. Bulls looked better when he was out.

  9. carl_herrera replied to the thread Tari Eason says he wants to start.

    I think people don’t understand Tari. All of Tari’s positive impact comes from possession maxxing. His ORB + DRB + Def playmaking...

  10. carl_herrera replied to the thread Long Term Solution at Point Guard: Amen or Reed?.

    FVV did not fit the bill perfectly, he just provided a baseline that wasn't broken, and defended reasonably well. We have to aim higher...

  11. carl_herrera replied to the thread Long Term Solution at Point Guard: Amen or Reed?.

    For sure, the only thing that matters with Reed is whether he can be a high-level primary action guy leading a good offense. If he isn't...

  12. carl_herrera replied to the thread Long Term Solution at Point Guard: Amen or Reed?.

    "Who plays PG?" is a dated way of thinking about it. "Who is the on-ball perimeter initiator?" or "Who runs the PnR's?" are better...

  13. carl_herrera replied to the thread What does a Sengun + Tari/Bari + Filler trade package realistically get you?.

    I'm not the world's biggest Sengun fan, but he's at worst a top 15-20 trade asset in the NBA right now. Just practically speaking. A...

  14. carl_herrera liked OremLK's post in the thread What does a Sengun + Tari/Bari + Filler trade package realistically get you?.

    Nothing until the offseason since Jabari's contract effectively can't be moved right now as @xtruroyaltyx stated After that, I'm with...

  15. carl_herrera liked Nook's post in the thread Reed Sheppard's Defense.

    I find a lot of it silly. Everyone saw his tape at Kentucky. Everyone knew he was 6'2" with a developing body (he will get stronger),...
