Let this core grow together and become a contender, imo. Don't trade it all away for an average all-star. It wouldn't make the Rockets a contender. Mitchell is nice, but he's not a prime Harden. Mitchell isn't someone I imagine being the best player on a championship team.
No. Mitchell should be more valuable than Gobert. We would need to trade either Green or Jabari and several valuable draft picks. Green is not as good as Mitchell yet - but I would still prefer to bet on his developement. I think he has a way higher ceiling. And I don‘t think Mitchell can be the best player on a championship team (I still have hope for Green to become that player). Smith fits our team perfectly -trade him for Mitchell and we have a lot of problems to solve. And I do believe Smith can be a great complimentary piece to a true number 1 option - while Mitchell basically needs the ball in his hands to be really effective. Let‘s build conventionally at least for this season. Let the young guys play and develope. From next year on, when we don‘t own our own draft pick and have lots of capspace, we can go after other stars to fill out this team.
I voted no but.. I am hoping the Rockets can put themselves into some of these deals and grab some more future picks.
He's the 3rd best player on a championship team in my opinion... He's just not efficient enough... If the Jazz couldn't win with him; I'm not sure how it would be different here.
Definitely kick the tires, but the price is gonna be insane after Minny blew up the market with their insane compensation for Gobert. The Knicks are stupid enough to pay it. Pass. makes you wonder what we could have gotten for Harden if he hadn’t gone public with his trade demands and destroyed our leverage. The compensation for Murray and Gobert has been absolutely mind boggling.
He can't play defense and he's not anywhere near Steph level on offense. I'm not taking the ball out of Jalen's hands for him.
