    I would like to have KD for one more season after this, provided he's still playing at a similar level. What I'm afraid of is us signing him to something in the vicinity of a 3 year max deal. I would rather him walk than have that happen.

    I doubt he would retire, if not in the NBA, NBA Europe will try to extend his career for 2-3 more years.

    Durant put his whole having kids and family right below basketball......that is how he viewed life. Put on hold for bball.

    They should trade for Malcolm Brogdon, he's on a low non guaranteed deal and the Knicks don't need him.

    Rockets enter the season handicapped. Great

    Our hope is that Reed makes a huge stride over one offseason.

    Heaven help us.

    to be fair, no ones begging for RWB or Simmons. But yes, I am gutted that we are in this situation

    And there is that. But you can always stretch him if he doesn't come back great.

    It really had to be a torn ACL.

    Basketball Gods wtf is this bs.

    Im still optimistic about the season but seems like Rockets cant ever catch a dam break.

    unless they make a trade to create one more open roster spot, the Knicks will cut one of Landry Shamet or Malcolm Brogdon after the training camp. problem is the Rockets is $1M short of even offering a minimum contract

    LeBron probably, just because of the marketing value he brings even if they play ****.

    It might be time to let Jeff Green go.

    Even with fvv healthy we have the worst guard rotation in the league. I cant think of a worse "best guard on the team" than fvv, and a worse backup than reed sheppard

    I didn’t realize De’Anthony Melton was still available. That’s a no-brainer.

    Reports are Melton is expected to sign with the Warriors, after Kuminga's situation resolved. Also the Rockets are $1M short to offer a minimum contract

    Can’t tilman just offer lifetime free Landrys Restaurant food to these free agents? That’s like $100 mill fine dining.
