Not sure if people realize this, but starting this summer we are going to be in semi-permanent hardball negotiation mode with every one of our...
?? I’m not making any claims about our players or their prominence in our plans. Externally however, every draftee will look at us and see we...
I think we should all realize that being the 7th member of a core 7 is not the ideal scenario for basically every draftee. If you’re a wing, do...
Yeah I see people saying “it’s perceived as a weak draft, therefore HOU should take way less than the normal price for the #3 pick” That’s… not...
NBA championships are won by drafted players or players acquired on their rookie contracts, unless you are in LA or Miami. This is pretty...
Yup. If you think from the perspective of Stone and the FO, who are not dumb, Iko’s content is so odd. I actually like the guy, and I think...
Yeah, anyone talking about spending real assets to acquire a non top 20 player right now is misunderstanding where we are. We have 9 solid to...
All this is true. The other element to consider is timing. Seems obvious Donovan Mitchell is staying in Cleveland. But he can't actually extend...
I think I’ve figured out the galaxy brain cap strategy that led the Rockets to have some interest in a Mikal move: In summer of 2025, we can...
It's also about the quality of the team whose pick you're getting in the trade to move down. In the DAL-ATL trade, Atlanta received a pick in the...
Ehh, I think I personally might not do it from a pure "maximize the odds of winning a title" perspective. But I think Stone would do something...
Tbf I think there's a real possibility Bridges could be traded in a deal involving Houston. It just wouldn't be with Bridges ending up in Houston....
Don't get fooled by the drip feed of rehashed Houston<>Mikal Bridges content from twitter rumor aggregator types. It's just non-Houston media...
Raptor has stats, they're just on Neil Paine's (one of the creator's) substack now. This year Mikal Bridges all-in-one stats: EPM - 97th Darko...
Mikal Bridges might have the best PR in the NBA, specifically since he was traded to Brooklyn. There is no objective evidence that says Mikal...
Bridges has zero percent chance of extending for $35M. He’ll be going to unrestricted free agency. OG Anunoby is about to get significantly more...
Givony is by far the best in the business at mock drafts. He has his agendas and agent relationships that he's greasing for sure, but the track...
Really think people should take a look at the Topic game log. Not all European leagues / stats are the same. Topic essentially did not play...
I'm not in favor of a Mikal trade, and I think the Rockets should stick and pick at #3. However, if I was forced to envision a Bridges...
You fill up these threads with unconstructive rants so not going to go back and forth. But just an FYI, if projecting based on pre-NBA analytics...
