    If there wasnt something wrong he wont be available for trade.

    This is the next KPJ-style reclamation project of the Rockets. But this is better cuz AG was literally a lotto talent 2 yrs ago. In college he was Reed Sheppard before RS, shooting 45% from 3 on 4 attempts a night while also being a solid defender.

    Amazing trade by Stone. We have full roster so AG can recover and work his problems in the GLeague. He is still under contract for 2 yrs so thats enough time to evaluate him.

    All 171 minutes?

    He shot 29% fg% and 25.6% from 3.

    Look at Jalen Green from 2/12/24 - 2/27/24:

    Fg%: 31.6%
    3pt%: 22.8%
    154 minutes

    So while hurt, he's almost as good as Jalen when slumping....

    Eh not a big deal, a nothing pick for a guy who likely won’t contribute, but at least he could be valuable.

    Also 12/11/23 - 12/20/23:

    169 minutes
    Fg%: 30.3%
    3pt%: 29.0%

    Let's start soliciting 2nd round picks for him, right?

    I like this move despite the fact that it means my dream of bringing Jamal Shead to the Rockets is over…..FOR NOW!

    Definitely a strong chance they don't pick up the 4th year option.

    I bet they see it as a chance to take a look at him in summer league, camp, and preseason and if he really looks great (and mentally stable) with the change of scenery they may pick up the option.

    Otherwise he'd be an end of bench body this year and extra expiring salary.

    Reparations for the pick blunder from last summer when Brook Lopez burned us and we had to finish out the related trades

    Playing only 154 minutes on a lousy Hawks team after a promising rookie season might be a red flag - but you're the same breh whos trying to convince me Tari Eason - who didn't play in 2024 - had a better season last than Paolo Banchero - so your red flag might be different

    See you on your next handle dandy

    I guess if he flips out he'll only throw around bible verses rather than food or girlfriends.

    Yawn. Another I don't care how many shots a player misses, how many times he turns it over, that a team is horrible at offense and only winning due to defense, the guy scoring points is responsible for the wins.
