Commonplace? When? When has a team traded as much value as a top 5 pick for a non-superstar on an expiring contract? It has never happened. It...
This is a great summary. Also important to point out that a player cannot sign any extension with a raise of greater than 105% until 6 months...
[ So you agree OG will be getting $34-35M+, if Grant is getting $31-33M? theref Sure, you can have your opinion. It’s not really relevant to...
Yeah like I said, if he or Jaylen or Siakam chooses Houston as his preferred long term destination, that’s great. There’s just no particular...
117/4 is absolutely not enough to re-sign OG. If it was, he would be signing the extension in Toronto. It is well understood by Toronto fans and...
“Older prospects” Just in the last 2 drafts Jaden Ivey, Chet, Evan Mobley, and Jalen Suggs were all top 5 picks between 20 - 20.5 years old when...
Incredible. You’ve exchanged our two most valuable assets for a 1 year rental, a project backup C, and projected 2nd rounder guard, and the...
There are no 19 and 20 year olds not named Wembanyama who will help us right now. That's not what the NBA draft is for. We have $65M in cap space...
Kawhi was 3rd in MVP voting, best player on a 61 win team, and an obvious top 5 player in the NBA the year before he was traded. Kawhi wasn't just...
Yeah you'd basically need Jaylen to publicly commit himself to Houston or for Jaylen's agency to be running our front office, like AD with the...
It's fun and interesting to talk about trading for Jaylen -- how he'd fit, what's the right trade value, does he fit our timeline etc. But by a...
Agree with you on taking the swing with Amen. On Jalen and Jabari, I’m not talking about my personal view, or the Rockets’ view. I’m talking...
Do you watch other teams than the Rockets? Patrick Williams is not good, at all. A purely theoretical player. He looks like he should be good at...
You think we’re putting a full rookie extension max in front of Jalen or Sengun next summer, no negotiation? Only guys who got them the last 2...
That’s not really a deadline. If neither one is an obvious max guy (and at this point it doesn’t look like they will be) you can wait until the...
You would only trade for Jaylen if you’ve talked to his camp and are extremely confident he wants to be in Houston long term. If you are...
If you think Scottie Barnes is still obviously better than the 4th pick in this draft you haven’t been paying attention to the Raptors this year....
In terms of market value (not my own evaluation of these players’ abilities), the #4 pick is likely our most valuable asset right now. If another...
Found Kelly Iko’s burner
Siakam will not sign an extension. He can’t sign anything for 6 months after being traded. He can make $40M more on his next contract if he...
