Yep stone gambled that he could get a first for him and it backfired after he supposedly already been offerd one last season. I think a buyout will likely be the only scenario.unless the Rockets want to take another bad contract back (unlikely)
Yeah who needs another good young talent like a Tari Eason? we are not even 10 games in and already playing freaking Nix and Boban (although I live Boban). It was stupid for Stone to think they didn’t want to have too many rookies.
I don't believe that EGO is a great mentor for the youth...doesn't even show the effort for winning. Not a good example. Should have been traded before the season.
Two of the young guys got into it mid-game right in front of his face and he did not do a thing. They all got it sorted out on their own. They don’t need him to help figure anything out.

Boy did we f*** up not trading EG. Anybody with half a brain saw this coming after that outlier of a season he had with good health and efficiency. Dude looks mentally clocked out.
I have always been a pro-Gordon fan but you can tell he is tired of those young kids and want to be involved with a team who is more mature and ready for the playoffs. I think we can get a 1st round for him but soon we are going to start winning and i rather have 23- or 24-years old player (with experience) than a 19-year-old.
Melton just got into the rotation so Sixers won't accept this trade. Minus him, it's viable when the team needs defensive effort and a tier higher version of Garrison wouldn't be bad after all.
EG doesn’t give a fck about these kids he’s just a quiet guy who doesn’t cause any trouble…he’s no leader or vet mentor Rockets should’ve gotten rid of him a long time ago…all he’s doing is taking minutes away from Tari Eason
The EG malpractice from Stonetitta was obvious here. It's still amazing and embarrassing His value was not going to go up after last season when he started out shooting hot. . Not wanting to "have too many picks in the same year" looks so silly after the Wood trade, you think the Mavericks would rather have TyTy right now or Wood, who is putting up sick #s off the bench and the only non Luka offense they have. Even if by some miracle they get a FRP for Gordon this year guess what! They'll have "too many" (3) picks in 2023. A team that sucks having too many picks. Really? Right now I'd say Gordon is traded as salary next year before Dec when his contract can just be waived
Do the Bucks have enough filler to take on Gordon with the condition that we can opt to push the umprotected pick to 2024 or 2025.
huh? there's an unprotected 1st. Obviously laughable but if LA was dumb enough to offer that you accept it IMMEDIATELY
Your handle reminds me of someone but I can’t quite place him. I want to say he was in Utah last season…… @DaDakota
Didn’t see the 1st. The Lakers have said that they are not going to give up any future picks to improve this team.
