    I'm going to miss @Reeko hanging out with us. I'm always cracking up at the **** posts. Homie is in full meltdown mode. Its not even about JB as it is about finally being broken for losing to two old ass teams two years in a row. This year was even worse since Luke Kennard, Ayton, and Smart tore us a new one.

    It’s times like this that remind me that over 75% of Clutchfans liked the Westbrook for CP3 + 4 picks trade

    Jaylen Brown was available for a Sprite plus a few snacks…had the opportunity to move on from KD

    but Stone was too busy sending duck lip selfies to his side chick and missed 20 texts, 10 calls, and 2 voicemails from Brad Stevens

    While my new team the Spurs drafted a big man and shooter with playoff experience and size, the Rockets did what Hoiston teams do, sign a player who recently burned you only for that player to burn you with poor performance on your team. Then you couldn't get Brown? You think the Celtics wouldn't have preferred to send Brown west for KD and more palatable contract and better player? Celtics didnt even get premium picks, we could have given them our picks and kept dallas and suns picks. Sickening

    Maybe they think Macus Smart is better fit. They believe Smart can lead us win championship. Lol

    Spurs are your team now?

    at this rate, won’t be long before the Mavs and Jazz pass us by…probably as early as the 2027-28 season

    NBA has to be scripted atp, and the Rockets were written in as the irrelevant side character

    Stone plays his part well

    Lakers gave up more for Walker Kessler than the Sixers did for Jaylen Brown

    Jaylen Brown had to have been faking insanity or some sh*t and scared all the white people in the Boston FO because ain’t no way

    You're assuming Stone even contacted them. I don't believe we ever had any interest. I believe they knew the interest for JB during the Giannis trade and this was the ONLY offer they had on the table. It was such a shitshow that they got desperate and swallowed this sh1tsandwich whole. Not getting Giannis looks INSANE right now if they were holding back because of this offer. Overpay SLIGHTLY for Giannis or die a horrible agonizing franchise death and lose Tatum because you gave up JB for one of the worst contracts in the league. Perspective is a hell of a thing.

    Why the heck won't anyone in the Rockets FO and coaching staff be even slightly interested in a recent ECF MVP and Finals MVP who just had a career season,

    Analytically marcus smart is just a better rebounder than jaylen brown. We like his character much more than giannis

    I thought Brown would have been a good target.... but the fact that the Celtics ended up taking a very underwhelming offer from a division rival tells me there's something seriously wrong with Brown's personality/off the court.

    Feels like a no brainer from the Phillies perspective...

    28 teams could have beaten the 76ers offer, including the Rockets.

    Clown the Celtics and the Rockets...but this was basically a league wide agreement that Brown simply wasn't that great a player.

    I dont get it..but it wasn't just us that said no thanks. There's clearly something that NBA teams agree about here.
