    I did not say any team was better. I said I do not believe adding Durant solves their halfcourt offensive issues when this team has 2 starters with limited range playing against defenses that likely will employ the same tactics they have employed past 2 years against us

    i read an ESPN version of the “breaking news” that had Cam’s name in a paragraph. My guess is that they were editing from a pre-made piece, thinking Cam was included. It’s been corrected since.

    Anxious to see Cam show us he’s ready to produce in the rotation.

    It's not all in.

    Some people still really are fooled into thinking Jalen's a star because he jumps high.

    Best part of this trade is that KD can mentor Jabari

    I actually think Book and Green could complement each other’s game and Brooks is a great three for them. Need front court help but I could see this team being scrappy and fun to watch

    Gonna miss Dillon, love what he brought to the franchise.

    However this is an absolute win, got a potential superstar for a few years and gave up nothing I consider a core piece.

    Not sure I want KD to mentor any of our young guys. Hit open shots, sure. But, mentor? Dude has been the most restless superstar of this generation.

    How the eff can you blame durant for the nets? Kyrie and Harden left. Smh. He was justified in getting out. Phoenix ruined themselves getting beal. Durant was so good on the court for both teams but they werent in contention because of front office idiot decisions.

    Please enlighten us on all these second round gems teams are flourishing with? late firsts dont matter. We still have those.

    Here's something to keep me awake at night.

    imagine every single time Brooks guarded someone.

    Now picture Durant guarding them.

    Just also want to say. Every OKC MVP has played for the Houston Rockets.

    Looking forward to having SGA down here someday!

    Well even if you don't like it, it is inevitable since he's here.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Washington controls Phoenix's pick in 2026, right? Which means if the Suns stink next season, they won't get any better via the draft. And that takes them into 2027 where we still control their pick(along with Brooklyn's).

    The Rockets shooting curse vs. one of the best shooters ever.

    The 2025-2026 NBA Season .... one of them is going down!

    You mean no more stupid fouls on 3 point shooters?

    You mean no more stupid unecessary fouls at the worst times?

    If you think the different from Brooks to Durant on defense is greater than the one from Green to Durant on offense, I don't know what to tell you.

    Hopefully when you're awake at night you can watch some more basketball and get a better understanding.
