    I was thinking he was getting closer to 35-36, towards the end of his career.

    Cap just turned 31 in May.

    Giannis has done nothing for 4 seasons.
    Is not the defender his reputation says and just hasn’t been able to carry a team like a supposed top 5 player should.

    A rebuild is not complete until you win a title


    OKC rebuilt and won a title


    Got to keep changing until you find the right mix

    Has to be for a trade, right? I'm starting to get scared the Rockets are going to f**k up what's been a decent start to the off season.

    The Rockets had a lot of success last season running a 2 big lineup, so a 3rd string center on the Rockets is likely to get a LOT more burn than on most teams even before you factor in that Adams likely won't play back to backs. That 3rd center has to be 2nd string quality.

    Im starting to think Giannis may be dealt. Bucks havent really done anything to convince him to stay.

    Udoka loves D. The more D, the harder the D, the better.

    You know who can bring the D?

    OKC didn't trade any of their young guys for old guys. So not sure why you are comparing the two. OKC did the opposite, their rebuild was trading old guys and developing young guys.

    Bro averaged 30,11, and 6 and was an MVP candidate and first NBA team the past 4 seasons lol.

    Look, you can be against the trade but saying he's done nothing in 4 seasons is obviously incorrect.

    I'm not for the trade either but I'm not going to lie to myself and pretend he's not an amazing player.

    OKC did it with the young talent they drafted and a young superstar.
    We aren’t even in our window yet with Alp and Amen. Moving either would be stupid.

    I have no interest in sitting through the down times of a rebuild to watch them throw it away to star chase older stars that have done nothing recently

    Sure, he has his numbers. But his team has done absolutely nothing in a very weak east.

    He can’t carry a team, and definitely not in the west
