Just a James Harden requesting a trade and destroying his 3rd team in 5 years away.....Granted, the Clippers may already be destroyed.
I swear to God, Kawhi Leonard is never healthy. ESPN ranked him pretty high on their Top 100 players. As far as talent goes, it's true. But if a player is never available? Well, I guess you go sign Kevin "B*tch, I TOLD you....[slap, slap]" Porter, Jr.
I'm less concerned about this pick swap year. Even if we lose our pick to OKC we have swap rights with PHX. So, we wouldn't be looking at the last pick in the draft but more likely something like a 4/5 seed's 1st rd pick as the worst case scenario.
We have to find a way to get Markkanen in. PF is our weakest spot and 3-point shooting is our weakest skill. Bari + Dillon + Landale + 3 FRPs (2025 HOU, ‘27 & ‘29 PHX) for Lauri
New to the board and looking forward to talking Rockets basketball with y’all. Not sure who we should trade out, but I really think a De’Aaron Fox trade would be nice for this team. I work with a big Kings fan and he seems to think Fox might become available at some point.
Who would you be willing to part for Fox? Kings would no doubt want one or two of Green4/Amen or Reed/Whitmore in any combo No diff than if you wanted Sabonis, it would start with Sengun package from Kings view
Yes, ApacheWarrior and I are on board with a Jerami Grant trade for Jabari( if he doesn't improve much) and expiring contracts. Throw in a few 2nd rounders too. Grant is quicker, tougher and more experienced than Jabari. This might help us to get closer to the playoffs.
Doesn't Jerami have a huge contract, how do you match those salaries with a rookie contract..... Dillon Brooks and a role player.
I would want to keep Green and form a dynamic backcourt. Reed/Whitmore I would do easily for Fox though.
Jerami Grant makes 32 M a year until 2027. Brooks makes 22.2 M a year and Jabari is on a 4yr 40 M contract. Matching contracts shouldn't be too hard.
Go ahead, I just do not think Portland is gaining much from it. Unless Bari plays better than in Houston. Whoever wins that trade is getting away with players that perform better afterwards.
I do agree with that. Stone can re-evaluate the need for all types of trades by the February trade deadline. He should look for various players, who might be valuable.
