Basically praised everyone from Harden, Lillard, Joel, Rockets players, Desmond Bane down to Bandit Dunes.
Eason? Can you imagine the CF meltdown on that one? They are finally starting to settle down, hell you even have a former fan @JW86 crawling back to us after a few hours of contemplating fandom. But trading Eason, a beloved player that appears to be a steal from last year's draft, just to reacquire Allen, whom we traded away so we can get superstar Victor Oladipo, well sir, you are just looking to drive CF over the edge.
Why would SG be safe? If Jalen is a awful on defense again shouldn't there be accountability? I could see Ime flipping KPJ and Green. Green is a better catch and shoot guy and defender. Green is a better shot creator and transition player. Green has to be better to get the benefit of the doubt. I think Sengun is safe for now. Who is around to start in front of him?
Yep. If the Rockets need to make future trades, they will have to involve a core young player because they traded 3 first round draft picks all in one offseason for no return.
Sengun and Jalen is going to explode next year and FVV is really going to help Jabari. Honestly I think Jeff Green is going to help Jabari and push him.
So I have us at +3 2nds and -2 2nds so far, but that doesn’t include whatever compensation we gave to OKC for taking Mills. I would not be terribly surprised if we adjusted the terms of those picks we gave them for Westbrook to make them even more favorable.

Houston is still surveying the market for guard depth, team sources say, with their full room mid-level exception still available ($7.7 million) and about $4.5 million left in cap space after their early spending spree.
great we are gonna fill the rest of the roster out with scrubs? There isn’t anymore playing time available for marginal players. Why are we not going after an impact guy like Grant Williams? If we do nothing with this cap space but sign scrubs I’m gonna reach a new level of upset with the org. Enough with this nightmare already.
I could live with that except, he’s actually our best shooter, which is one of our biggest needs, and the only shooter we added this offseason was FVV.
We have two roster spots remaining (I think) so I wonder if Udoka can convince 2 more former NBA champions to join: George Hill (mostly mentor) Serge Ibaka (can give you 10-15 minutes for 40ish games) Very old, non-rotation guys. Guys who don't need many minutes but can fill in when needed while strengthening the culture. George Hill has a ton of Spurs experience too so that would be helpful to Ime maybe.
I know this guy named Patty Mills that would fit perfect in this sort of role. I saw him just a minute ago?
I'm not a fan of offense-only mentors tbh. Mills would have been passable, but I'd rather get someone with a more well-rounded game.
