    I dont see why a package of

    Brooks, Smith JR, Eason, Whitemore, and Sheppard and 4 first cant get it done.

    Im for it because i think we can sign a defensive replace for brooks. Rockets wont be able to afford these players in next few years.

    Bucks will not find a better package than this, for a rebuild and picks.


    FVV, Green, Giannis, Thompson , and Segun

    Thats a championship caliber team for the next 4-5 years.

    Trade green instead of cam and you got a deal.

    Why would we keep FVV? If we are making a trade like this, he needs to be included. Keep Brooks instead.

    true but maybe we should just keep our guys and run it back.


    I don’t like the idea of trading a bunch of 22 and 21 year olds that were the reason we made the playoffs

    That is crazy

    If you are getting 4 1st you are only getting Brooks, Reed, and only 1 in either Tari or Cam. Giving them Jabari too... fck that

    That is not a championship team for 4-5 years. I can't imagine Fred getting any better after this year

    Why would we trade our youth and future draft capital for Giannis when we're getting Cooper Flagg in a couple months?? Makes no sense!

    I don't think we can start Amen, Sengun, and Giannis. I just don't see it. That leaves only two 3 point shooters and that won't win anything. Would I give up Amen or Sengun for Giannis? Maybe, it'd be hard. But Giannis is Giannis, a top 3 player in the NBA.

    MAYBE, trade Amen. Sengun, Giannis, and three awesome 3 point shooters. Pay Beasley his money. Get two other 38% plus 3 point shooters (one a PG) or possibly keep Brooks if we think he can keep up his great shooting this year.

    Sengun
    Giannis
    Brooks
    Beasley
    PG who is tops in 3's (Maxey, Coby White, I dk what we'd have left to trade for them)

    Or, Sengun and Giannis are too similar as down low players. Trade Sengun.

    Jabari
    Giannis
    Brooks
    Beasley
    Amen

    It was definitely far too heavy on the players. Trying to get equal player value for your star never works. The true prize for them is picks.
    FVV+Tari and picks should get it done. If we're giving up all those picks, we need to keep the young guys.

    Exactly. Giving up a bunch of our young players and all of our picks, what the heck people expect the Rockets to do for the future? We give Milwaukee OUR future while we have Giannis who’s already 30. When he starts declining then what?

    I’m more open to this than I was when it first was mentioned. Not sure what the package should be though.

    I’d feel hesitant to give up on Sengun so early in his career. I get that it’s Giannis and he will be a HOF

    but still it feels wrong. I feel more attached to our homegrown stars

    No thanks, notice that once they traded Holiday they have never been a real contender.

    Giannis is a great player, but not a real team leader.
