  • Went to first game of season last night. Good times. Reed Sheppard seems kinda dumb. Holiday needs more minutes still. KD "off" night and still drilled 2 of the biggest shots As we all know..

Jabari Smith actually made a big shot. Well I'll be....

He had hit a lot of big/meaningful shots this season before that awful stretch.

I believe Durant is 4th in NBA minutes, and we’re only 9 games over .500. Winning as always is awesome, but this isn’t sustainable.

Tari has to get healthy and DFS must play better to push KD’s minutes closer to 29-30 minutes per game.

We definitely need something to start clicking because if not it gives more backing to just unload for Giannis.

I want to win with the guys we got (KD, Sengun, Amen mainly) so parting with either of the last two would suck at the moment for me, but Sengun would pretty much have to be in that deal.

Hoping there is another avenue to get someone that improves the team (not Giannis) where we can keep the core as well.

For me I would be willing to trade anyone else on the roster except maybe Adams.

Getting Giannis midseason would be a disaster. I mean y'all have barely figured out how to get Durant the ball. That's something you maybe kick the tires on in the offseason after the data set is larger. If you did anything before the deadline this season it would have to be like DFS plus a pick for a vet guard - which could be a good move. Tre Jones certainly looked good last night.

Sengun's contract is fucking awesome, by the way, and he just keeps getting better. Giannis is a better player but he's 8 years older and makes $20M more per season.

I'm fairly intrigued by what JD Davison did last night. Not sure you don't just let it ride this season at this point.

He has a player option for next season. Is there anything preventing the Rockets (rules) from trading him then resigning him in the offseason?

Although if you are trading FVV’s salary you are probably getting his actual replacement

I guess that's theoretically possible but it would almost assuredly not happen for various reasons.

It's unlikely he would come back because the Rockets would be past at least the 1st apron, and probably past the 2nd. They would not have free agent money and would only have the cheaper exceptions to sign new players.
