    Always hurt is a ridiculous stretch, he was extremely compatible with mitchell they were awesome this season, stagnant is nonsense they were just injured. There is zero chance they give him away for nothing, it would be beyond asinine.

    From everything I have read, Brook Lopez is a very good defender.

    Would cost fewer FRPs to just not exercise team option on FVV so that the Rockets aren't buying cap space/exceptions, and send Jalen to the Suns instead of sending Brooklyn a couple of FRPs to take Jalen's salary.

    Granted, the Rockets would have early Bird rights on FVV and might re-sign him which would defeat the whole purpose of constructing trades with FVV (i.e. people don't like FVV and will concoct complicated trade proposals that only work for other teams if they get more FRPs than simpler trades without FVV).

    He blocks shot. Sengun would get demolished trying to guard PF’s.

    KD & Ty Jerome off the bench would be the secret sauce this team missing. I know Jerome don’t wanna live in Cleveland

    Not sure why the Rockets went after him 2 years ago and why they are rumored to go after him now. He's obviously someone Udoka wants as well.

    I think they know better. (the Suns)

    It's just fans and talking heads who keep coming back to this idea of them getting their picks back - from 3 different teams - so they can tank and it's simply not realistic. This situation is not like the Nets where the Rockets alone held their picks - and still own the 27 swap.

    That's a big part of why they want to hang onto Booker. They know without that guy they go from a 36 win team to a </=20 win team.

    They dug themselves into a deep hole building that roster and it blew up in their faces. That's the risk ....

    Sure, everyone is "available". They're not just giving him away for nothing though......

    Shams just reported KD is being traded as soon as this week.

    #10, FVV and Jock for KD.
    Sengun, Jabari, Reed + Picks for Giannis.

    We're in contention immediately. Trade works out salary wise.

    Starting 5: Amen, Jalen, Brooks, KD, Giannis
    Bench: Holiday, Cam, Tari, Unc, vet min backup center

    If team fails to win anything in a couple seasons, we either retool after KD retires and retool around a prime Amen.

    Swap Reed for Cam and resign Adams and I’m intrigued.

    I like the idea of Cam Johnson as a rotational player with KD. It might seem redundant but it could make more sense after seeing what a KD trade would do to the roster. It could be a nice option for keeping KD fresh for the playoffs.

    So, let me get this straight...you're supporting your argument that we should gut our team for Giannis by pointing to a team who is great primarily because they are home grown? Make it make sense.

    I wonder if there is any way to pry Trey Murphy away from New Orleans.

    Would Jalen + a protected pick get it done?
    Tari + #10?

    Elite shooting, elite length, decent athleticism on a very fair long term deal.

    Him and Bari spacing out for Amen drives would be amazing.

    Could rockets trade FVV if option is exercised then the suns buy him out before the end of the season and us resign him still?
