    1-2-3 on the dice. FVV traded at 1:23p tomorrow. Burt Steele faints

    Now this is a move I would love if the Rockets are actually trying to compete as long as they are not giving up any of Sengun, Amen or Smith. Kyrie is still a baller. Can a Fred/Tari SNT and the suns 2027 pick work financially?

    Would they move Kyrie as essentially a salary dump at this point? FVV and DFS?

    I'm not sure about adding Kyrie to the mix with KD already adding his touch... And haven't we seen how this combo goes before?

    Tari cannot be aggregated in a sign and trade. If you are giving up a pick for Irving it needs to be to dump FVV and DFS which I would support if it is one of the Rockets own picks. Irving hasn’t played over 60 games in 8 years and may walk off the edge of the Earth at any minute.

    You had an ass season, and THEN blew up your entire knee. Of course they ain't gonna wanna fw that. He should be self aware enough to know that. It's just delusional.

    Eh that was kind of a different time then with the pandemic and vaccine. I think that team stays together and I believe the trio of Harden, Kyrie and KD win a title if none of that crap happens. Heck the first year they would have won if Harden didn't go down. I think on court their games mesh perfectly. Will Kyrie actually stay healthy? Doubtful so there is that issue to think about. But if Dallas want's to dump Kyrie for basically salary matching and a pick I would easily make that deal.

    I’d take Kyrie over FVV, Ja, or whatever else gets mentioned on here

    and if it ended in failure yet again, at least he’d provide some on-court entertainment…none of the guys on this team are fun to watch

    Guys that OPT in and are staying do not wipe their social media.

    Blowing it up and rebuilding would be a better option.

    1. People's social media is very important in how players view themselves and their brand and them SCRUBBING their accounts is 100% a message sent to both the org and that person's fans.

    2. Agreed.

    Realistic. Stone will ride this team out into the sunset with his last words being "Expects the young core to be significantly better next year"

    Coming off a serious injury and no one else bidding for him, he better opt in.

    hope it’s part of a trade

    Still has a photo of him wearing Rockets gear. I'll celebrate when he removes that.
