    Bol Bol sucks, Durant is a hall of famer.

    Bol Bol when given starter minutes has killed it, Durant imo is the most unguardable* player of all time. And his game will age gracefully, but I'm not looking for a max contract geriatric star.

    Bol bol should be the focus.

    The fact that you are talking about media literacy but can't understand how basic human self-interests work is quite ironic.

    That's what people thought about Markkenen and he re-signed. Maybe Collins is different? I don't know. But history says Ainge will call your bluff whether it's the right decision or not.

    What is going on here…. Are we really comparing Bol Bol to Durant?! Please….please. Please stop. Never do so again and let’s act like it never happened.

    We're comparing Bol Bol's potential to Durant's inevitable decline (at a hefty price tag)

    Durant could decline significantly and I’d never compare the 2. So let’s stop.

    Plus, we have enough “potential” already.

    Nobody is comparing them, we don't have to get one or the other, its not like they have competing salary cap limitations. One can be had for the minimum. People need to get over this Bol Bol phobia

    Lol

    Bol Bol would never play better than Durant at age 40.

    Rockets fans wanna best players at young age.

    But why do they want to be traded to Rockets?

    We don't have enough advantages.

    KD is possibly the best we could get.

    KD would do wonders for JG, Amen, Sengun, and Jabari. Gotta keep these 4. Trade Brooks, Jock Landale, Tate, #10.

    Agreed, they may have to trade Fred in the deal tho. I would trade Fred in this deal and trade Brooks & maybe Tari in a separate deal depending on who we’re getting in the return.

    Speaking of Bol Bol I’ve always been a fan of his potential. I always wanted him on the rockets to match up with Wemby. There’s some untapped defensive potential there and he can play alongside Sengun. I would force the Suns to add him to the deal. We can play him on nights we rest Steven Adams(hopefully we can keep him).

    Suns can’t aggregate contracts so you can’t force them to add Bol Bol.

    Bol Bol is one of those players who looks amazing in the highlights and okay in the box scores, then you watch him play and suddenly it becomes clear why the dude barely earns bench minutes on thin teams. His awareness and decisionmaking on both ends might be the worst of any rotation player in the NBA. Given the kinds of things the front office and Ime Udoka tend to prioritize, I doubt they have any interest in adding him to this roster. He would just be in the same doghouse Cam Whitmore is currently in.

    Why couldn't you just do a separate trade?
