Even more than the history of his miss rate, this is the biggest giveaway. Insiders don't have info regarding 30 players at once. The dude sounds like WOJ on the eve of free agency.
Unsurprisingly the KPJ IS THE DEVIL CLUB jumps front and center even to bogus news!! Watching them high five and use the biggest, boldest font to push the vibe is just LMAO stuff! Nice job guys! Newsflash and super hot insider scoop for all the GMs in training and semi pro analysts --- EVERYONE IS AVAILABLE! You think this team is passing up the opportunity to land a legitimate top 10 player to hold onto guys like Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr or Sengun? What the F did you think the tank was all about? Amass names with high draft pick and "projections" attached to them and sell off that hope to another franchise when their 'star' wants out. A tale as old as time. Its why these unhealthy attachments to individual players on literally worst team in the league situations are cringe. You telling me we could get Giannis, Embiid, Brown or a combo of the guys in this fantasy discussion for any of our current players and picks and there would be pushback? Get it together fellas - in this completely fabricated story Stone is about to go shopping!!
Meh. The Rockets have had interest in Suggs since the draft, and have been pretty consistent in wanting him since then. Orlando wants to move him but the asking price is a little high right now. A lot of fans for the Rockets would be down on adding Suggs - but he would be an immediate improvement for the Rockets, and a good fit because he is on pace to be a defensive stopper like Marcus Smart. Milwaukee is discussing everything with the loss in round 1, and have SERIOUS financial issues coming up. I don't see Middleton back and if a team like the Rockets make a strong long term offer for Lopez - he is likely gone as well. The issue is that likely means the writing is on the wall for Giannis, who has not signed the extension.
Milwaukee doesn't have any draft picks though, they are all owed to NO until 2028 - i don't think they have any choice but to overpay for those guys.
When people think about trading Green, Sengun and Bari, the times where it's reasonable is when a disgruntled legit superstar asks for a trade. There is a possibility guys like Embid, Luka or Giannis might demand leaving their teams in the next couple of years. Those are the guys you hold out for if you want to trade one of our pieces. Obviously those guys are too good to just trade one, but if those guys are available we could package multiple parts of our core for one of these guys. That's when these type of trade discussions are reasonable.
The asking price on Suggs could change in a hurry if Orlando picks Scoot, Amen Thompson, Anthony Black, really any of the top point guard prospects. Not sure I see Suggs as more than an okay backup at this point. He's still young though.
Doubt it’s possible but adding Harden, Middleton and Lopez through some shifty sign and trade salary maneuvering would put us on track to compete Sengun/Lopez Jabari/Tari Middleton/Tari Green Harden Draft pick That’s a strong rotation.
I honestly haven't seen Suggs play much, but if he's got Marcus Smart "D", then I'd take him in a heartbeat. Because our players can't even spell defense. AND I HATE BAD DEFENSE. I hadn't realized Giannis has not yet signed the extension. Yeah, Middleton is injured far too often and likely gone.
I do not think anything is imminent or else we would have heard about it and not just through the grape vines. Of course the asking price would be high as the Rockets are a direct rebuilding rival, albeit in another Conference. The one who rebuilds better has bragging rights.
How dare you put the self proclaimed head honcho in a deal without even receiving a all star/MVP caliber player in return, especially according to his water boy he is by far the best guard on the team Just having a Richard Pryor moment
KPJ isn't going anywhere, Again, the Rockets are more than happy with him. He'll be our 2 IF Jalen is dealt. (and JG has A LOT of value) I absolutely want nothing to do wiith Collins or Middleton. Suggs DOES interest me. Also, I disagree vehemently wiith accelerating the rebuild TOO quickly. NO SUPERFRIENDS BS!
Agreed - but they are concerned about locking up two 30 year olds long term when Giannis can opt out. They are in a real trick box financially and otherwise.
i thought he was gonna be really good.... i missed on him...he can still be a decent player...but for sure is disappointing where he was drafted - Toronto needs props for passing on the consensus top 4 pick for Scotty Barns
