Some player empowerment is a good thing. For example, it doesn’t bother me that players are vocal about social justice causes and take stands on...
I think the Rockets value him as an expiring contract they can use to get another first-round pick or a player with upside on a rookie contract....
Probably Saturday against the Spurs. Doubt all the players in the deal get their physicals passed before tomorrow’s game.
If they have a nationally televised game and the Rockets aren’t playing, or their teams are playing the Rockets that night, sure. Otherwise, no,...
Absolutely not. I’m a Rockets’ fan, not a James Harden-only fan.
I’m well aware. Tilman Fertitta is currently on the fast track to becoming the James Dolan of the Western Conference. I wish he had never bought...
It won’t shock me if that happens. I, like the vast majority of Rockets’ fans, wishes Fertitta would sell the team if he isn’t willing or capable...
More than likely, the Rockets would join the Thunder as teams willing to eat a bad contract for more first-round picks. The Thunder, for example,...
I doubt the Rockets sign anyone significant this summer, too. But, having cap flexibility when the right time to strike occurs isn’t a bad thing....
I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it, either. Provided Stone can move Eric Gordon’s contract for an expiring deal by the trade deadline, the...
I’d rather have $24 million in cap space than Caris LeVert and $6.5 million in cap space. The odds of LeVert developing into the second-best...
Oladipo has an expiring contract, whereas Caris LeVert has two years remaining on a 3-year, $52.5 million contract.
I would have preferred a package around Ben Simmons or a Miami offer with Tyler Herro and a bunch of expiring contracts, but I don’t hate it. At...
The positive in the trade is the Rockets essentially cleared Harden’s entire contract without taking back any long-term salary, which will enable...
Both Caris LeVert and Victor Oladipo are worth first-round picks, which is part of the reason they were traded for each other. The other reason...
I don’t see the two as that different, to be honest. At best, LaVert is the third-best player on a championship-caliber team. Plus, would you...
They clearly valued Oladipo’s expiring deal more than having LaVert on a deal worth $52.5 million over the next three seasons.
If the Rockets traded for Oladipo, it means they value the $40-$45 million in cap space they would open up more than taking on a bad long-term...
True. However, Durant, like most players, loves iso-ball when he’s the one doing it. That won’t be the case if the Nets want to maximize...
Trade him to Philadelphia for Simmons and Thybulle and picks and get it over with. I have no interest in a deal with Caris LeVert as a headliner,...
