    Things are getting SPICY now.

    Smart was the only piece that worried me.

    I mean that’s a random Twitter account. In reality we have absolutely no idea what’s going on right now with the Rockets except they are shopping Dipo and like Gordon and Norman.

    Exactly. Then if our 52% shot at a top-4 pick doesn't pan out, we can trade our 3 late-FRPs to move up.

    I refuse to concede or celebrate just yet.

    Do you realize that if AG doesn't get us to the promised land, the entire CF community will blame you?

    Woj on twitter says Houston may have a mid first round pick offer for Oladipo. He didn't say what team may have offered it.

    it's gotta be either the Knicks at 17 or 20 or Atlanta at 19

    GSW can offer the pick if it lands 1-20
    Memphis
    Atlanta


    He specifically said no NYK on TV.

    I hope you're right. Can the Hawks absorb his contract?

    How many rookies are you projecting to be starters?

    My shoulders are wide enough.

    But other than my advocacy for AG, I have nothing to do with any Rockets trade.

    I wish it were otherwise.

    Have to send back either Bogdan or Snell + young player like Reddish or Okongwu.

    Doable.

    Even if it's just one. Even if it's just Cade. No young star right now was under the pressure to make the playoffs when they were rookies. Even LeBron missed as a rookie. Rookie play just doesn't automatically translate to winning right away and that's why you need to give them room to grow. Can you imagine situations where we bench Cade for Wall and Gordon cause we're chasing wins? I'd rather have Cade out there playing 36 mins making mistakes and learning despite taking losses.

    If Atlanta, I want it to include Cam Reddish, would be willing to tweak deal for it to work.

    We are essentially living the scenario where we bench Cade for Wall. Except his name is Kevin Porter jr.

    Do it! Wood-Okongwu-Mobley/Kuminga means the 4/5 spots are filled for the next five seasons. And Snell would fit nicely as a veteran mentor wing or can just walk at the end of the season.

    Even better: Dipo + House to Atl for Snell + Reddish + Okongwu

    I'd do that without the added FRP.
