Do not want this getting lost in the Cam thread. Yes, it deserves its own thread. Least it is not a thread about besmirching the Stay Ready Crew. Per Codman: "GreekFreak is holding up a lot of moving parts as we all anticipated. Don't be surprised if Gary makes a temporary home in Houston, especially after his late game disaster in that pivotal minute or so... He is close to KD, so this shouldn't be news. Also, if Beas is guilty of those allegations, he fumbled the bag (as the kids used to say) more than Dennis Schroeder after leaving the West Coast. Sitting in an appointment at the moment, but more to come. Jalen was who we thought he was. The Suns will really not have enough shots to go around if Beal is finally let out of the previous staff's doghouse." Love y'all. Wish you well. XO
As usual, nothing here that couldn't be found with a google search and a little intuition. For those wondering, he's talking about Trent Jr. https://bleacherreport.com/articles...ee-agents-who-could-help-every-team-right-now
Spoiler: Chat GPT’s Interpretation Here’s my take on the riddle—and the 5 most likely Rockets additions (with estimated odds): 1) Giannis Antetokounmpo - ~15% “GreekFreak is holding up a lot of moving parts as we all anticipated.” Giannis (the Greek Freak) has been the subject of persistent trade buzz involving Houston . However, the Bucks appear intent on retaining him, making this a long shot—but still top of mind. 2) Gary Trent Jr. – ~30% “Don’t be surprised if Gary makes a temporary home in Houston… late game disaster in that pivotal minute.” Gary Trent Jr. fits the profile—he’s a high-volume 3‑point specialist the Rockets could use, and he’s said to be on their MLE radar (). Rewarding or regrettable, he’s a real contender to land in H‑Town. 3) Dorian Finney‑Smith – ~25% “He is close to KD” and fits the shooting/defense need. DFS is another MLE target strongly connected to Houston . His ability to defend multiple positions and hit threes aligns perfectly with the team’s mold. 4) Spencer Dinwiddie – ~20% “Could bolster the team… familiar with Durant and Udoka.” Dinwiddie checks all those boxes: spacing, playmaking, and a known commodity to coach Ime Udoka and KD’s circle . 5) Malik Beasley – ~10% “If Beas is guilty of those allegations… he fumbled the bag.” That’s almost surely Malik Beasley. He’s reportedly under investigation (rumored gambling-related), and was even an MLE mention . The reference to “fumble” hints at a loss of opportunity—exactly what Houston might capitalize on if he lands in trouble. Extra Notes on “Jalen” & Beal Line “Jalen was who we thought he was.” Likely refers to Jalen Green being packaged in the KD trade—his departure from Houston was expected (). “The Suns will really not have enough shots… if Beal is finally let out of the previous staff’s doghouse.” Signals concern over Bradley Beal’s role with Phoenix post-KD—reinforcing the KD trade context (). ✅ Summary Table Player Likelihood Giannis Antetokounmpo ~ 15% Gary Trent Jr. ~ 30% Dorian Finney‑Smith ~ 25% Spencer Dinwiddie ~ 20% Malik Beasley ~ 10% Bottom Line The riddle is referring to a mix of realistic MLE targets and blockbuster dreams. While Giannis remains the daring headline, Gary Trent Jr., Finney‑Smith, Dinwiddie, and Beasley are solid bets to join a KD‑led Rockets squad this summer.
I'd hate to lose Cam but if we were to lose Cam and add GTjr and DFS, I would think us ready to rock.
Gary Trent Jr, he fumbled the ball away vs the pacers up 1 with 10 seconds left. Ending bucks season. He had a great shooting year last season and had a couple of big playoff games
