    Would Rockets give up several of the picks we have for McDaniels? Would it make sense? I don't see how Bucks acquire McDaniels from Minni if he is the only asset (outside of Edwards) that could get Minni some high picks back to the complete a deal. I would do it.

    If the Rockets don't trade them, the tradeable salary is equivalent in value to the amount of cap space the Rockets used to acquire them. Both $0M (i.e., much less than the $50M that you said). Adams would have likely been an MLE signing by another team so very doubtful a sign and trade. FVV...this would have been a weird transaction, but generally sign and trades don't return much.

    Your post looks like it was meant to sensationalize the opportunity cost the Rockets gave up for those three.

    Fears, Williamson, Queen and Murphy, you can build around. The problem is that Zion gets injured.

    Put this in the other Random Trade thread...combining rumors into one trade:

    Houston In: Jose Alvarado and Jay Huff
    Chicago In: Bennedict Mathurin, Yves Missi, DFS, 2-Houston 2nd Rounders , 1-New Orleans 2nd Rounder and 1-Indiana 2nd Rounder
    Indiana In: Ayo Dosunmu
    New Orleans: Coby White and Jeff Green

    Rockets give up 2 seconds to get off DFS signing and pick up a backup PG and backup C
    Chicago is rumored to want Mathurin and they pick up multiple picks for taking on DFS
    Indiana picks Dosunmu who can play PG and play along side Halliburton next year...Rumor is they want Dosunmu
    New Orleans picks up White who can help make a playoff/play-in push.

    If this is legit, another round of Pat Riley going "Spo can fix him"? Because that worked out so well with Jim-Jams?

    Is Jaden McDaniels a clearly better player than Tari Eason? Other than durability, no he is not.

    A lot of metrics say Tari is better, most other ones say it's a wash. McDaniels plays more minutes.

    How about Klay Thompson? I don’t want to sound ridicule! Klay Thompson still remains one of the most lethal shooters in the league.

    Don't understand this trade. Also, the fact that Mavs got a better deal for AD than Luka is hilarious.
