Ok mostly for fun . but let’s say we aren’t sold on green or sengun . Can we find buyers ? #3 and green for bane and #9 I don’t think it’s fair for Memphis but maybe it’s close enough that we could throw in another pick Sengun / Jeff/ Dillon/ jock / probably a bkn #1 for Jimmy and #15 Now we have the 9 and 15 pick and again get to take two shots while also picking up Desmond bane and Jimmy butler . I’d draft Zach edey and maybe topic/holland/whoever you think has the best upside I love edey . Think the dude will be the best player in this draft FVV/amen Bane/cam Jimmy/ holland Jabari /tari Adams/edey with edey taking over after he learns the ropes

Going to have to pay him $40M AAV. Cost you Brooks + Landale + Tate + some draft capital at a minimum. That being said, if Knicks balk....
Only one player I would unload a **** load of picks for and green and another young stud like Jabari and that guy is FOX! Get that man .. him and sengun … omg
If the fiend itch to trade away the 3rd pick remains for Stone, then I hope it's something like: Dillon Brooks+ Landale to the Bucks for Lopez. It's a win win trade for both players. The Bucks want to change their defensive style. 25 minutes from Lopez off the Bench and playing next to Sengun; or when Sengun is struggling against some 3rd string 6'7 center from Lagos. This also opens up the SF spot to Eason or Amen, whoever is healthier. Sengun/Lopez Jabari/ Eason/ Sengun Amen/Eason Green/ Cam/ Brogdon FVV/ Brogdon/ 7th pick rookie rots in D league til injuries force a call up. or maybe just keep the 3rd pick and get Reed.
All the Rockets draft capital (7 FRPs and 3 swaps) Jalen Green Dillon Brooks Steven Adams Jeff Green Landale Tate for Durant Booker Not a serious trade proposal. To me it looks like the Rockets want to make a move, but still have something left for a second guy.
3rd pick to the Nets + Incoming Players Cameron Johnson 28 year old, 6-8, 210 lb G from North Carolina 13.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 2.4 apg in 27.6 minutes in 2023-2024 Cam Thomas 22 year old, 6-3, 210 lb PG from LSU 22.5 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 31.4 minutes in 2023-2024 Outgoing Players Dillon Brooks 28 year old, 6-6, 225 lb F from Oregon 12.7 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 1.7 apg in 30.9 minutes in 2023-2024 Jae'sean Tate 28 year old, 6-4, 230 lb F from Ohio State 4.1 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 1.0
Thinking, with the Lakers drafting Knecht, does this make Reaves redundant and available? Another experienced solid shooter and at least gives effort on defense. This team is still in the development stages. Don’t want the Bridges ( off market, thank god ) or the KD, Ingram types that would stunt the growth process of the young core. Reaves fits right into the rotational core. Also adds a little maturity to the roster. Rockets have draft capital, Tate and any suggestions??? Maybe expand the trade with a 3rd team. Or offer Brooks, with LA adding Vanderbilt or Hayes. To be clear, I do appreciate the contributions Jeff Green and Holiday brought, but the end of the bench needs an upgrade.
Reaves for Jalen works contract-wise, but we would have to throw picks in there since Reaves is currently the better player and is on a decent contract for 4 more years. The Lakers are star hunting. An extra pick (or a bunch of seconds) would help facilitate that, but they are going to need Reaves and Rui for salary matching in a star trade. That doesnt change if you swap Green for Reaves.

When do you think De'Aaron Fox may start putting up a stink and be a potential target for a Rockets trade? He turned down a Kings extension this week because he wanted to see how the roster takes shape.
I would acquire another second using Landale & Tate to get Shead. UH Legend, but more importantly for space to sign Wiseman on a flyer. Insurance big for Adams being injury prone that’s a buy low high reward type of guy who can fit in the age range of this core. Former #1 pick, Ime can turn him around
Prefer using MLE on Jalen Smith as Tari & Adams insurance. His shooting & per 36 are more appealing than Wiseman IMHO.
Wiseman? The guy that made Jabari Smith look like part Michael Jordan, part Hakeem Olajuwon in summer league?
