Our FT shooting is awful and you guys want to add Giannis. Balanced rosters please.

I'll gladly take his 30 and 12.

Brooks, VanVleet, and Green need to be gone after the season.

Adams needs to be resigned.

Jabari needs to start over Brooks in game 5; Ime not adjusting at the half saw the starters get worked in both the first and third quarters.  Some of this is on the coach

Why are people still shitting on the Green contract?  It’s a contract that lets him bet on himself while tying him up long enough (but not too long) to make it tradable if we need to.  It was a really smart move.  

What attainable PG out there should we chase? I am not sure what is out there and attainable that improves us. 

I’d like to godfather Phoenix for Booker depending on where we land in lottery (Brooks, Green, Whitmore, maybe one more, and their 2025 pick back plus any other picks that may be required), then sign a Jones brother as a backup point guard and exercise option on FVV if Sheppard in the trade and you have his expiring in 2026 to upgrade again.  If we keep Sheppard, I may be ok letting FVV walk and see what we have.  

All that said, I can’t get a trade for Booker to work in the Trade Machine   PHX’s cap situation is all borked.

It Booker doesn’t work then turn turrets to Giannis, then if that doesn’t work, Maxie.

Can it be neither smart, nor dumb?  Almost a year later and I think you can move it but only as part of a package with pieces that have some actual attraction to another team.

Regardless of playoff performance it is a VERY attractive contract for a 22 year old with his upside.

I was told this team was different and could finally beat Steph Curry and the Warriors. Same ol' same ol'

Totally different team. All different.

And the Warriors added Jimmy Butler. Jimmy can be elite at any moment.... Which is usually the playoffs.

💯 

Butler gets three free throws and Alpi gets nothing on the end of game possessions. Stars get the better treatment in the playoffs and sadly it matters.

He’s 23 now and you have to squint to see  upside when he’s getting paid $33m and $36m in the next two seasons at his current performance level.  I think you have to move him because he’s been only going to lose value going forward.

KD and it’s not even close. Given the fact that we own PHX picks they’re more motivated to deal, plus we need outside shooting desperately and the Freak isn’t the answer to that…

It’s one of the most tradable contracts in the NBA. A lot of internet idiots don’t understand the CBA…

Nobody is lining up give assets and pay $33 million to Green. It’s not toxic but it’s not an ace in the hole either.

People also said the Jordan Poole contract was untradeable, and look what happened there. A mediocre small market team may want to jump on him for 2 seasons and see what they can get. Maybe an Orlando, NOLA, Detroit, Brooklyn, Sac, Washington, Portland, Atlanta, etc wants him. There are a lot of dumb GMs out there that might take him and consider him valuable.  

Guard targets to me would be Trae Young, Dejonte Murray, Cam Johnson, Lamelo Ball or TJ McConnell.  There are a lot of big names that could become available if things go south for some teams, but who knows at this point. Trading for Jokic and making him run the offense would be ideal, but that's a pipe dream.

Nico just traded Luka for basically nothing so I wouldn’t say nobody is lining up and wouldn’t trade with the rockets haha. Tons of examples of moron trades over the years so I’m hopeful.

Oh look the Warriors are constantly fouling and flopping again

Nice to see the warriors aren’t getting every call. Of course down 3-1 it doesn’t matter now so might as well win and see what happens in GS Friday night. 

I hope it’s a 50 point win tonight and green rolls his ankle and is out Friday. Not like career ending but just enough he cries.

Honestly though, the rockets up 15 this early just feels like the warriors will come back and curry will go off in the second half for the comeback win.

Pure boredom lol

Van Fleet is the fucking man

Upgrade from Brooks and the PF and keep Adams, they could be pretty tough next year.

Pretty sure they will wrap it up next game

Depends on the reffies, but at home the refs absolutely fall in love with the Warriors.

Curry might as well fly back to San Fran now. 

He will make like 8 threes in a row once they allow the moving screens

Just need to keep that 20 point cushion to the half; they weren’t going to not score forever….

So… Curry’s game now is 100% shooting 3’s off of screens? He really doesn’t handle the ball much. 

Pretty much…Unless he gets over played and has a straight line dribble to the basket

Maybe, possibly….4 high-intensity games in 8 days is starting to take a toll on these old men….

Really dumb to do that against the 13th and 15th guy on the bench

Brooks 100% caused all of that shit. Almost got our best player kicked out of Game 6. Memphis might have been on to something.
