    The KD thing is laughable. Durant reuniting with Westbrook? I can’t imagine Kyrie would go along with going to another losing team. He’d throw a tantrum.

    Gilgeous-Alexander is the secret of that team. Oubre will be a fantastic addition. Green will also fill in nicely.
    The biggest question will be how the team plays without Donovan. Don't bet against the Bulls next season.

    RoCo led the postseason in steals averaging 2.5 steals and 1.1 blocks. His Drtg was one of the best in playoffs.

    RoCo is not best defending 1's he is much more effective at the nail and playing free safety so he can use his wingspan as rim protector, help defender and attacking passing lanes.

    Elite defender does not only mean man defense.

    And by the way, RoCo also shot 50% from 3. Zero for 27 not happening with RoCo on the team.

    RoCo worth a top 10 pick? Are YOU kidding me?

    In 2012 The Blazers traded Gerald Wallace similar player and age to RoCo at the time to the Nets for a lightly protected 1st round pick and crap. That future first round pick turned out to be Damian Lillard at pick 6.

    One of the worst trades ever. Ain’t nobody trying to make that same mistake the Nets did.

    So we traded Capela and the 22nd pick for RoCo, then traded RoCo for the 16th and a future 1st. So essentially CC was worth 6 spots in a weak draft and a future 1st?

    That’s Daryl Morey’s fault. Not Stones’s or Tilman’s.

    Essentially gave up Capela for Ariza too.

    Mind boggling.

    At least we have picks again.

    Make Rockets have Picks again.

    Wouldn’t even be surprised if we used a pick from this Roco trade to try and offload Russ since his value is basically sh*t. The fckery never ends under Tilman.

    Guys relax. This could easily be ammunition to get an all star to come play with harden. EG gets us another 2-3 picks. Then Westbrook plus 5 picks gets us a vucevic or KAT. Orlando or Minny get to suck while still getting TV traffic and tickets eventually. then you start attracting talent and go for a big 3 and other role players that want to win rings with a paycut.

    If I'm a player looking for a ring, I'm hopping on board the Harden-KAT train.
