    He can’t stay around if he can’t shoot 37%+ from 3 consistently. Would love for him to prove us wrong, but it’s not looking that way

    So therefore, what are our trade options?

    He is staying a Rocket this season due to his contract situation. Learn to love Jabari the rest of the season, you can think about trading him after free agency opens.

    He has zero value. He also has zero potential so we can’t even sucker a team into thinking it was a bad fit. A 6’10 big whose only skill is his worst one, won’t dunk, can’t defend and can’t dribble. We might be able to get Kuzma.

    seems like we were wrong about DD liking a player being a curse. the owner of this site taking a liking to certain players (jalen, jabari) and disliking others (alpi) has proven to be more disastrous in recent times

    Not remotely intriguing, it’s beyond illegal. Just nonsense.

    Stone won’t do it because trading 2 top 3 picks in such a short period highlights how incompetent he’s been as a gm. Hopefully he and Ime get fired together. I don’t even trust him to make the trade. He don’t even have enough relationships around the league to make a good deal. Please get rid of this amateur of a GM and this assistant coach masquerading as a head coach.

    Utah has pushed their timeline back, Markenen is 28, they would trade for picks and some young players....I think.

    Irrelevant. The trade is illegal (by a mile).

    Ok fine.

    FVV
    Bari
    Capella

    And picks

    For Markenen.

    Happy?


    OR

    FVV
    Bari
    Tari
    Tate
    Picks

    For Markenen

    Both trades WORK in NBA Trade machine.

    My point was that you build a trade around those TWO as the main outgoing people....not that it is straight up....captain pedantic......

    Insane thing to vocalize that you were aware of this and chose to keep him in the game.

    One of Ime’s biggest issues since he’s been here has been ability to rotate and manage properly. Again it reared its ugly head tonight.

    Then we do it in the off-season if we have to. Anything to upgrade from Bari.
