    I would like to give us a few games to see if we have any chemistry. I know people want to rebuild fast but I don’t see a huge difference in the 14th and 10th pick. Do we even have our first round next draft? I LOVED those gritty teams between Yao/tmac and harden. And those teams when we only had one star healthy w a bunch of hustling border line scrubs. I wouldn’t mind watching those guys fight for one another.

    They better go sweeten the pot or I am gonna knee cap one of the players to guarantee a failed physical. I will be out of jail before we get a top 10 pick.

    We lost as soon as he demanded the trade.

    A minor point, albeit a painful one: we already are awful.

    It was all about the expiring and maybe being able to flip him.

    Also needed for salary matches.

    People are on board because of how badly the last few days/weeks have been with Harden on the Rockets.

    90% of the poster here hated the reported Nets package back in November.

    This deal is WORST than the reported deal. Why? It doesn't include Dimwidee who is now injured and has no value.
    If this trade had happened in Nov, the Rockets couldve flipped Dimwidee for another pick.

    Hard to fathom that we also got SMALLER and will be a worse rebounding and defensive team in this deal.

    That's still mid round first rounders in a deep draft in 22. Draft wisely and we can find our next franchise player as early as 2022.

    I would rather get MPJ from Denver and picks. This is garbage. Maybe go to Denver and offer them LeVert for MPJ. Get at least a possible young star for the future

    This deal is phenomenal. Future looks bright due to the sheer number of unprotected assets, cap space, etc.
