    Who cares who is better Wall or WB..
    WE HAVE NO CLUE IF WALL CAN PLAY.

    Now what? Have to wait for a worst contract to be signed so we can trade Wall for it?

    People are acting like we had a choice. Market wasn’t there for Russ, he made it worse by demanding out, and his contract is absurd, further limiting options. Do I wish we got more? Yes. Do I think it’s a downgrade? Absolutely. But my guess is Stone was basically forced to make the move. The fact that we haven’t heard anything from Harden makes me very nervous.

    Exactly. It's not like Westbrick is going to learn how to shoot. At least Wall has a chance to be good again plus there would not be enough basketballs to shoot between brick, harden, wood and cousins. Wall will actually run a system instead of brick who would just charge into the paint or miss a contested 3 every play.

    Sad ending to our run as contenders. From our Bench to Cp3 to Russ to Wall and a pick.

    Owner is giving a masterclass on how millionaires can still be losers. Sometimes you can even see them trying to make all that money just to fight the idea that hey are losers at heart. Guy must be a joke among his peers. Minnesota Timberwolves leves of malpractice here

    Exactly. The Rockets need an experienced lengthy wing, not another guard.

    One thing is for sure, when everyone is laughing at the Rockets, they tend to perform the best.

    Damn, those are heavy protections. 2023 looked good from WAS but not with those protections.

    Is this going to be the new “Dwight and Josh Smith were AAU teammates” storyline of this year?

    This is a terrible trade. You just traded a guy who was averaging 30 after the trade deadline for a guy who hasn’t played in 2 years. And that pick doesn’t sound appealing at all.

    Well the Rockets actually value Harden.

    2017 me is thrilled that we somehow magically got Boogie Cousins and John Wall without giving up Harden.

    All because Harden couldn’t play with CP3.
