I don’t know how coveted Brogdon would be across the NBA as a buyout option, but he is an upgrade on Aaron Holiday as the Rockets’ backup point guard.
Marcus Smart isn’t a buyout candidate this season as he is under contract for 21 million in 2025-2026.
Simmons could be used in either role. You could play him at center in Sengun’s role as a high-post passer, or as a point guard with some...
The Rockets aren’t going to solve their shooting issues via the buyout market. If the Wizards buyout Malcolm Brogdon, I’d imagine he would be...
Cameron Johnson, Collin Sexton or Malcolm Brogdon. The Rockets needed shooting and a quality backup for VanVleet more than anything.
Amen Thompson is the Rockets starting small forward with Jabari Smith Jr coming off the bench once he returns from his injury. Aaron Holiday is...
As a buyout candidate to be the Rockets backup point guard and spot starter with VanVleet hurt, I’d be all for bringing Ben Simmons in for the...
Don’t forget about Jabari Smith Jr. He will be a valuable bench addition in the second half of the season.
Smart deal for Cleveland, especially if they can get Hunter back to playing defense like he did in college at Virginia.
That’s part of the reason, but the other reason is that aren’t many minutes available when VanVleet, Green, Brooks, Amen, Sengun, Eason and Jabari...
I didn’t say that Durant would give the young guys more playing time. I was saying that having an elite scorer/late-game closer would help the...
This indicates the Suns aren’t blowing it up. They wouldn’t give up their 2026 first to save 10M next year if they planned on starting a rebuild.
If the Rockets could get Kevin Durant at a reasonable cost, it’s worth it to help the young guys learn how to win the playoffs over the next...
I like Ausar Thompson as a defender a lot, but the reason Amen was more highly thought of in their draft class was scouts thought Amen could...
Absolutely not. With his defensive abilities, Tari Eason is far more valuable than Knecht. Knecht is a incredibly bad defender.
Yes, I’m serious. Ausar Thompson is an elite defender with no outside shot. Tari Eason possesses similar defensive abilities but has a far more...
I don’t think Bregman is willing to take less guaranteed money to bet on himself with a short-term deal with opt outs. He’s going to be 32 in...
Higher than that. If Bregman wanted Detroit or Toronto that badly, he would have signed. The Cubs and Red Sox only have four-year offers on the...
I’d love to have Sexton on this team, but Malcolm Brogdon would also be a big upgrade at the backup point guard spot. Either would be nice...
Why would you give up a better player in Eason to acquire Amen’s brother? Eason is Ausar Thompson with a decent outside shot.
