    Then why does GSW suck so much?

    He is playing next to Steph and Draymond, does it get any better for him?

    Has always been a net negative. Continues to be a net negative. GSW would be legitimately better starting Sterling Brown at 1.6 million.

    Wtf. Al Horford is the ultimate team player and contributes way more to winning than Wiggins.. Most contenders wish they had the contracts to send out to get Horford. I would also take Hield because on a team with stars he would be a great complementary piece with his shooting.

    rest of those guys are trash.

    Wall and Oladipo getting dumped for anything of positive future value sounds amazing.

    Clear out room for KPJ/KMJ/Wood please.

    Herro or Robinson HAVE to go for a Miami deal. If a deal happens without one of them I’d be shocked. Robinson, Iggy, Dragic, Nunn, Olynyk would all have to be renounced to get him in FA. If I know this, Stone knows this.


    Herro and Olynyk

    or

    Robinson, KZ and Iggy


    Just cough it up already

    I’d give up dipo and wall for all Miami’s expirings. Dipo would be the price for taking on wall.

    Yeah, I don't care about keeping any of the vets.

    The Rockets need to rebuild and this is the right direction for the team.

    Losing sucks, but losing with a plan makes it worth it.

    What?

    How does that have anything to do with the convo.

    He has not been a net negative since che got to GS and was relegated to a role player, its obvious you don't know his role currently or how he has been effective in that role.

    Yes he is playing next to steph and Green and that's my point, none of those other guys would be better in the same position and many would actively be hurting the team because they do not fit.

    That Sterling Brown blast shows how much you don't know, I am not a Wiggins fan but he not some scrub and does actually help a team, sorry if that hurts you so much.

    WTF have you seen Horford play recently?

    In what ways does he contribute more than Wiggins?

    Wiggins is a much better defensive currently and a better scorer, Horford is actually shooting a lower percentage currently than Wiggins.

    Please tell us how Horford currently contributes more than Wiggins?

    Maybe Miami does not see him as an upgrade to help the team have you thought of that?

    Just because he is the best available does not mean people are desperate to get him plus nobodies job is on the line in Miami.

    That's the issue my friend. Show me where Miami has told sources they want Oladipo.

    The silence, crickets in that aspect are deafening. Usually there is some back stage chatter.

    Have you watched Al Horford play? Dude is way better than Wiggins almost everything

    Better shooter, better defender, better passer, better rebounder. Put him on the warriors with Curry they will take off. He led the Hawks to 60 wins. Celtics haven't been the same since he left.

    Even this season he has a higher PER, TS%, more Winshares, higher VORP. Basically everything he is better at. If he got put on a contender you would see.

    Still the best defender I've seen on Giannis to this day.

    Houston is getting creative.
    League sources say the deal Houston and Orlando discussed would involve Gordon landing with the Rockets and Victor Oladipo going back to the Magic, the team that drafted him second overall in 2013, or to a third team. Oladipo would have no future in Orlando, league sources say, so finding a third team might be necessary.

    The Houston-Orlando talks are interesting because they show the Rockets are trying to get creative with Oladipo deals. Originally, the expectation around the league was that Houston would seek a first-round pick for Oladipo. But he still hasn’t returned to his All-Star form and will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so teams have been reluctant to give up much value. If Oladipo were dealt for Gordon, the Rockets would add more in the deal, possibly in the form of a first-round draft pick and more assets.

    Giving more with Oladipo would open more possibilities for the Rockets. Using that same structure, Houston could, for example, make a run at Pistons forward Jerami Grant, who the Celtics have also pursued.

    In the days ahead, don’t be shocked by anything involving Oladipo. Playoff teams are reluctant to trade for him. Rebuilding teams don’t want him long term. No matter where he ends up, Oladipo still clearly has something to prove.

    The magic trading for dipo only to lose him in a month won’t be it. Has to be a 3rd team involved for dipo
