    This was an excellent buyers market. The Rockets expected teams buying to cave, they didn't.... sellers caved. The cost of Powell was very low, Gordon was on the lower end as well........... the Rockets had a lesser player in Oladipo want wanted to get more than vastly superior players got.

    This was known when it happened. He was acquired to key expire, and both sides agreed to leak anything to bump his value along the way.

    I do think Stone 's expectations are too high, but there's no interest in Oladipo.

    Hopefully either Oladipo is about to be lacking his bags or Stone is.

    Rockets are just a irrelevant franchise.

    then that’s Stones fault for botching the Harden trade.

    Oladipo the Rockets legend. Survived the 2021 trade deadline.

    The Rockets front office........ either take a bag of dog **** for Oladipo and look bad..... or hold on to him and try to convince fans that there is value in a sign and trade (there really isn't) this summer......

    If Oladipo is kept on the Rockets (I think he will be traded... no sources just my opinion) then watch him ask for a buyout.

    Oladipo staying isn't the end of the world guys...just imagine a scenario where we end up resigning him to a 4 year max deal, that would be the end of the world lol.

    I feel like taking a bag of nothing for Oladipo looks better than keeping him at this point. It's honestly embarrassing

    I swear on everything, if we are in a timeline where Oladipo gets bought out, just throw the whole front office away

    It makes me sad and apprehensive to see this proud and world class franchise in the dumps.
