[WOJ] Rockets getting Steven Adams in trade

Tweener 5-10 guys aren't it. They're just as much of a liability in the playoffs if not moreso than Sengun types. I have higher hopes for Sengun than I do for Trae Young ever becoming a championship level player. Trae on the Spurs might work with Trae/Vassell/Sochan/Wemby. You basically need the rest of the team to mitigate his deficiencies and only Chet/Wemby are good enough rim protectors while being decent range shooters to offset his issues.

Look at how shitty Lillard makes the Bucks defense and they have Lopez/Giannis.

 

I haven’t heard of any available legit star player that I would want to cash in our chips to build around. Furthermore I really don’t like the idea of Rafel and Patrick making these critical franchise altering trade decisions. We’re gonna be stuck like Atlanta, with a crap owner who lets nepotism hold back a franchise from being really good.

 

Their defensive rating did fall from 111.9 to 115.4! But their net rating went from +3.5 to +4.4. You have to give a little to fill your needs.

I actually mostly agree with what you’re saying. I don’t like the idea of two 6ft guards playing together. I also don’t like the idea of just standing around in the corner waiting for the perfect fit to fall in your lap.

 

I do get it but I'd rather trade for Mikal Bridges than Trae Young. And I don't really want to trade for Mikal Bridges. Trae is like worse Harden. You have to build around him and sacrifice a lot just to be a first round exit. I don't think the team would be that much better with him here, We'd go up slightly on offense to go down on defense. He's just not that guy. But I don't think Luka is that guy either for what it's worth. We need a Kawhi Leonard/Paul George/Jimmy Butler type that is an efficient two way demon. The Thunder are #1 because SGA is that. The closest player we have to being that is...well....Jabari Smith. No one else is even close.

 

Wish he was playing this season....we need that NOW.

 

it’s very hard not to like this guy

 

"I don't know if it will help, I just like hitting people."

That's my man!

 

Love this guy already!

Also, that funakistats Twitter account is pretty awesome too.

 

Dillon Brooks likes hitting people also.

In the nuts.

 

Funaki is the way......

 

Love this guy already.

 

50x huh? Lol

 

LOL awesome. Love this guy already. Can't wait to see him on the court next season.

 

@Reeko should really just go ahead and root for the Spurs.

 

somebody seems triggered

 

It's a good thing she picked a sport where she can make a good living. Rock throwing is big money if you've got the strength.

 

I think the Center position has just become a major strength for the Rockets. Last year they got shunned by Brook Lopez after seemingly having agreed verbally. But the Rockets went a nabbed a Steven Adam precisely for the 2024/25 season!

Steven Adam is going to be a huge boon to Sengun, I think he’s going to help with improving his defensive intensity. Imagine a Sengun with his already elite offensive acumen, good team defensive ability, and a bit of Steven Adam’s brutal defensive intensity.
