    A few weeks from now the Rockets are going to start showing up in those "Winners & Losers" columns

    Guess which side of it they'll be in.

    Really don’t understand why we couldn’t get jb. Surely we could have beaten phillys offer . Surely 2 first round picks and 2 2nds is a low price for someone of jb’s caliber and he has a connection to coach ime .
    Smart/jb/amen/kd/sengun with Reed/bogdan/okogie/jabari/adams off the bench would have been pretty good :/

    Must have not wanted him since he went for peanuts.

    For those of you saying thank God, who are y’all waiting on Stone to trade for?

    Apparently there is some delusion Ant is magically going to get pissed off and demand to come here.

    Fred/DFS/Capela. I am assuming that that doesn’t get you close enough cap wise. So I guess you would have to include Adams. I would hate to do that, because I think he can be an integral part of the team in both performance and leadership, but if we could’ve parted with those four players along with a couple better first rounders I imagine we would have.

    and I would also imagine that Boston and Houston at least talked. so obviously, Houston does not rate him that highly. Even if Sengun was involved. I really find this to be strange and terrible trade for Boston. Maybe we need to go after Tatum.

    I would do this trade:
    Fred/DFS/Capela, 1 1st for Kyrie/Lively

    This trade doesn't even make much sense. If they were trying to begin tanking it would make more sense, but they literally took their best player and put him on a conference rival for Paul George and picks which aren't even all first rd.

    For a team that seems to have championship aspirations it seems a bit silly.

    They probably want to stay competitive and are not interested in Sengun. But at this price, Stone should’ve at least tried to get him for KD. I would’ve even traded Amen for him tbh.

    For them to take George meant they wanted picks back. If we parted with one of our youngins and filler no way I would have added picks. Great no move man of Stone!

    New Celtics owner spent all his money buying the team, not enough to keep paying the players.

    With Paul George, once PG's contract is up there is no hard conversation required for heavy future money.

    Meanwhile, the Spurs are adding Tobias Harris. The West is loaded.

    Philly's new GM, is one of Bob Meyer's picks. While Jameer Nelson was promoted, that new guy (Gansey) is wheelin' and dealin', quite a move in landing Brown for George. Philly landing a W.

    Sixers got somebody who finished 6th in MVP voting and is a perennial All-Star for washed albatross Paul George and 2 picks

    I’m sick…I think I need to lie down somewhere

    Giannis saga ended. Brown to Philly. Lakers filled their big man.

    Some of our Rockets young guys survived another round. :D

    Lol. Good luck trading Alpi’s bubble gum butt if Stone can’t even do that.

    Stone really thinks FVV returning is going to make us a contender

    Yea, keeping the young guys is just a shield for being cheap at this point.

    The only way for Stone to save his job was to trade for Jaylen Brown. Another missed opportunity. Goodbye Stone.

    Another thought...

    Stone made no moves during the regular season because he was saving his ammo for ... Marcus Smart and Bojan Bogdanavic.

    HAHAHA

    Get this man outta here PLEASE!
