    Rockets offered Jalen and the 10th , so brooks going to sg?

    I would be all in for Brooks Eason White more and 10th
    1.. not cause of keeping Jalen
    2 more of future salary, Eason and both jabari is gonna get north of 25 mil offered I don't think they would keep both
    3. Jalen value won't be any lower than now, it's probably be higher cause it'll be a 1 to 2 expiring contract and it'll be attractive

    So keep Eason or jabari trade whitmore Brooks, fillers and future first , keep the 10 to draft similar player to bari or tari get KD and a backup guard, Jones Grayson and a swap

    Stone has exemplified patience these last few years. The question is, does he have the "Stones" to make the big swing? That remains to be seen.

    So you'd be all in for trading 2 players who are better than Jalen... but not for trading Jalen?

    How weird.

    The Rockets mustn't offer DB. Cam, FVV for KD.

    Some folks are folding like laundry around here. Here's the interview with Boogie on the Phoenix fights, and others.

    Pass on Durant

    Was Boogie on the Suns or was he out of the league?

    I don't think they're involved now. I don't think they're involved now. I don't think they're involved now. I don't think they're involved now. I wanted to ask another question but I don't think they're involved now.

    Giannis was an mvp at 22 and made the all defense team and was an all star lol. Giannis also won the ROY his first year

    Unloading FVV to them would be wet dream and good for them as well. They’d have a pg for a year and then can dump him for 44m in cap savings.

    lol. No he didn't. He finished 7th in voting in an insanely weak draft class and averaged less than 7 points per game.

    Also, Giannis' 22-year-old season was his fourth, not his third (same age as Bari essentially). He was unquestionably better than Bari was in his third season. But he didn't break out until his fourth year. And I'm not saying this to put Bari anywhere near the same category of player than Giannis, nor am I suggesting that I think he has that kind of potential. The point myself and others are making is just that Bari still has a lot of room to grow, and he's already a competent rotational player on a contending team.

    I don't know at what point this thread turned into an anti-Bari thread, but it's gotten a little out of hand.

    LOL. Suns painted themselves into a corner with that Beal contract and everything they had to give up for KD. Now they’re desperately trying to trick one of these GMs into adding another valuable asset to the existing offers. The problem is that everyone in the entire league knows how desperate their situation is.

    The ROY for the year of 2014 was Michael Carter Williams. Giannis was 7th in the votes that year.
    He didn't win MVP until he 24 yo and it was his 6th season in the league.

    Now he did win Most Improved Player at 22 yo because most people didn't know who was until that season and he surprised them.

    Not giving up Eason in a Green plus 10 trade would be an awful move on Houston’s part.

    And all those with flaws.

    If they take Harper they may be benching Castle already.

    Lack of shooting outside of Victor and Durant who are both good bets to miss 25+ games.

    New coach and Fox about to get overpaid.... it's a weird roster construction.

    Definitely concerning they had a bad defense with Castle and victor playing...

    I'm not sure why everyone suddenly expects big men to have handles. They can't all be Anthony Davis.

    If he's more like dirk or karl malone and shoots a lot mod range and 3s facing the basket I'm fine with that. Sengun needs room in the paint.
