Rockets are the 3rd seed Normally top 3 seeds in each conference are a contender. So technically he's a starter on a contending team Don't let this 3 game losing streak fool you. Sengun & FVV has missed time and we still have Jabari coming back This team can still make the WCFs
Sengun/Adams/Smith as needed Amen/Smith KD/Eason Green FVV As an 8 man rotation for playoffs with Tate/Holiday/Cam and Reed to fill the rotation in playoffs.
Getting back to Cod’s post, we are looking at birds: Pels - since their young guys are supposedly untouchable and we have no reported interest in BI, who would our target be? (Please god not Zion) Hawks - what are they going to do with JJ out? I hear Hunter may be moved. Are they gonna blow this thing up? Is Trae available? Raptors - they traded OG for Quickley, I doubt he’s available. Otherwise they have no one we want.
Cod always uses "Free Birds." For years. So I don't think he's necessarily referring to birds. (I could be wrong, of course.)
But he can score + provide vertical spacing + defense. Giannis averages almost 32 PPG. That's better than under 20 PPG shooter who is one dimensional spacing threat.
Seems like empty speculation--don't see them trading Giannis, but after the Luka trade, I guess you never know Among top 5 players I think he's probably the worst fit with our existing roster too, but I guess fit doesn't really enter into it that much at that level of player
