    It's funny seeing that nobody cares to go to the Warriors now. Their time has passed.

    I wonder if we could get involved as a third team and flip the likely worst of the PHX 1st-rounders and a scrub or two for something more substantial that could help us now.

    This is basically falling into our laps… I can see KD being upset/disrespected by them shopping him to GSW. It might be hard for him to return.

    welcome to Houston KD.

    Funny, KD taking less money to join the Worriers in the first place was the most snake move in a long time.

    Stone either purposefully sitting on his hands or he's completely out of the loop on these huge trade talks.

    All in for only Booker mindset is going to make Rockets miss on multiple opportunities.

    Why in the actual F would we trade Jabari and Reed along with giving them their 2029 1st rounder back for KD?

    A guy I work with is from the area. We literally just had this convo lol. He said he fears they are gonna go back to the 90’s warriors where no one wants to go there.

    Oh how sweet it is LOL

    Exactly, Phx not trading Booker no matter what happens. They would even rebuild with him and he definitely ain’t going nowhere if/when they offer him a super max

    Honestly cant remember a good team who botched so many picks. Their previous GM had a nice idea of building for the future but wasted all his picks with Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody, Podz etc when they couldve had Lamelo, Franz, Trey Murphy and Cam.

    Rockets probably staying firm with their fair trader offers to Miami for Butler and Phoenix for KD. Only a couple players like Giannis or Booker are worth selling the farm. Let's see if Miami and Phoenix get desperate and pull the trigger on a low ball offer for KD or Butler.

    So you wanted Rox to go on a bidding war for KD? No thanks. I rather wait for our guys to comeback Rockets have 3 injured guys on the team..

    Draft capital wont make them better at least right now.

    I also dunno how the vibes are in PHX now I mean KD and Jimmy are friends and KD prob expected Suns to bring in Jimmy to play with him and not be his replacement.

    Yeah jabari screws the deal for me. I think the Suns are expecting more for Durant anyway. I can't believe they are interested in trading out Durant for Jimmy. That is beyond stupid in my opinion.
