    Does Iko have any credibility at this point?

    Definitely can't think of any reason to read anything Iko reports on at this point. There are better guys to listen to on Twitter and Youtube.

    And Griz get scooped / Bancheroed

    Ayton + Clingan + Avdija + Sharpe + Scoot = Wolf Puppies (a la MN)?

    Simons = off man out?

    They used him for a smokescreen.

    I kinda feel a little sorry for Iko

    he’s put in time as a Rockets reporter so I don’t wanna disrespect him and call him the black holic, but these are some epic L’s

    it’s not a coincidence that he started going downhill once he started publishing all those unsolicited BS trade proposals that nobody asked for

    if he doesn’t get it together, he’s gonna become a full blown parody…Iko out here turning into basketball’s Babylon Bee

    Clingan's new nickname should be Smokescreen with the number of teams using him as one in this draft.

    I haven’t seen such a deliberately manufactured media campaign in ages trying to tell us a 2015 Toyota Camry is the Batmobile

    they were even talking like he’s an option to go #1…felt like I was taking crazy pills

    This year, Iko stopped covering Rockets exclusively. For the Athletic, he's doing some other southwest division teams like the Grizz. Attention divided.

    Per Sources, “the Rockets are actively attempting to trade Reed Sheppard to Portland for Donovan Clingan.”— Kelly Iko

    I was going to say this. Everyone piling on, but I’m pretty sure he did the org a favor by getting everyone thinking the Rockets didn’t want Shep.

    Clingan was never really considered. He has the same agent as Sengun, so there was never any mutual interest. The main debate was Sheppard or Castle.
