    Rockets should have tried to offer Wall for Love and Rubio. This would make Wood easier to trade and get Sengun in the starting line up with a vet like Love who fits the team a whole let better than either Wood or Wall.

    Why is everyone so pressed to rush rookies into the starting lineup? It’s ok to get minutes off the bench the first year. Sheesh

    Both Love and Rubio are producing well for them. Love has been playing like the 6th man of the year lately.

    I'm curious what LA got? Seems the Lakers are clearing room for something bigger. Maybe John Wall? LOL

    Both Rubio and Love are individually better than Wall. They have no incentive to do that whatsoever.

    I had no clue that Rubio was out for the year. It looks like the Lakers will give a second round pick that may never convey, so basically same price we paid for KPJ.

    2nd round pick seems fair. They could use the roster spot on Stanley Johnson.

    I bet it's not even that, will probably never convey. The Cavs motives are clear, but I'm curious what LA is up to.

    why are you so pressed not to start rookies?
    and some of them are even better than the vets that are stealing valuable PT and roles from them...
    it doesn't make any sense to stick to the rotten traditions

    Maybe because one gets in foul trouble every game. How do you think that’s going to favor once he’s in with better players?

    Makes sense as a wicky wubio replacement, it’s too bad though because he was balling.

    Rockets are last place in the West.. There is nothing to watch. You might as well let them play as many minutes as they can.

    A 6'1" point guard at age 35. Short PGs don't usually last this long. He had a good run 15 years already. Likely to be out of the league in the next few years.

    If you look around, there ain't many pure PGs left who are elite and young.
