    Shams reported that Cam is part of the trade. He may not be here come July 6th. Can someone please confirm that’s not Cam isn’t part of the deal.

    We didn't lose any of real assets so how would this set us back? We still have all our first and suns first and Dallas first. And we kept our 5 most important young guys.

    Great. I simply do not agree and stated my reasons. The lack of range still hurts this team.

    Let’s say we play with this iteration with Amen at the 2. I assume Tari at the 3. Durant at 4.

    let’s say we run into the Warriors again in 2026 playoffs. Lets say they trap durant half court and also play some 1-3-1 and 3-2 zone. Sure Durant wouldn’t have a catastrophic series like Green and likely would hit some open threes or mid range shots but that offense is still compressed with them sagging or loading up strong side. Would this be enough to win? I dunno. I really don’t. But that’s the question. We shall see

    Thank the dark lord. We never have to watch Jalen Green’s lackadaisical brand of basketball ever again.

    If we were going to trade for him, this was the best case scenario.

    Keeping Jabari, Tari, Reed and Whitmore was SO paramount. Great work by Stone

    I apologize to Stone for calling him a draft pick merchant.

    I think the Rockets should sign Al Horford to replace Dillon Brooks veteran presence. Start him at the 4 alongside Sengun.

    We'll see who the worst player on the team is and my criticism will be viewed as hate.

    My money is on FVV.

    It's funny we still have Suns picks. The only value we gave up is that 10th pick and Dillon

    Cam isnt a 2. He doesn’t play make, doesn’t pass and doesn’t defend. He wasn’t good enough to be a bench rotation player and definitely not goof enough to start.

    As much as it sucks (for me) to lose Jalen, it's a great deal. Kept all our high value picks.

    Are you 100% sure?

    There is no mention of Cam, what safety do you want....

    The midrange kills all of those zones.
