Lots of players sign max deals for not max length -- yes, those are still max contracts. And there were a ton of other FAs they could have given...
My bad, I thought you were referencing the video. Fair
It's not a copout. It's just me trying to explain what the thought process was, since I think the whole question of "why not have a backup plan"...
Absolutely it is. Just explaining my perspective, that's all.
Also, to address this angle specifically, yeah -- I'm absolutely biased and using rose colored glasses, to some extent. I own that. I want nothing...
They literally gave Fred a max contract! And also, in their eyes, he was the most valuable player last season on the No. 2 seed in the West. They...
For those curious, the Rockets are practicing midday tomorrow. I strongly suspect this will come up in post-practice interviews. So, we'll have...
Also, shameless plug, but I did talk about the KD burner allegations today (fairly similar to the post above) on Robert Land's show. Starting at...
Also, to those referencing the silence of the "social media celebrity" fan bloggers (who admittedly talk for the sake of talking about so many...
Right, it's not an apples to apples because obviously the 2017 Warriors had more talent, it's just to say that winning is what ultimately matters....
Also, it's not just about "is it true." If it is, the angle that matters most (IMO) is how the team reacts and responds. What do Alpi and Jabari...
And as it turned out, you ended up losing not only Fred, but also Dillon/Jalen (due to the salary match) and later Steven. That's four of your top...

Understood. One bit of clarification, this was actually in our postgame show from one week ago (i.e. first game post-deadline), it just got...
Also, to be clear, the Rockets love KD. He's been great this season, live-ball turnovers excluded. Even better off the court, as far as mentorship...
Correct, this is the root of the issue. There is a massive disconnect between how the Rockets view Fred and how a lot of fans do. If KD had gone...
It's literally the opposite of a leak, it was me reminding people of something I reported (and others said similar things) literally before the KD...
The thing is, it's almost impossible to replace the production of a guy you're counting on for that much from. Even if you have a backup to Kevin...
Also, one other thing on the "gotta go all-in with a 37-year-old KD" argument: In the weeks leading up to the June 22 trade agreement, we all...
This, and I say that as someone in the room. It's a mistake to take it at face value and assume that's all that's going on. A lot of the...
