KAT to the Knicks, Randle and DiVincenzo to Timberwolves [TRADE FINALIZED]

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

It needs to be pointed out that not only did Minny go cheap and bail on KAT, they also chose that overrated bozo Gobert over him AND gave him another ridiculous extension. He had 3/4 last night and was a team worst -37 in 22 minutes.

It makes sense from a value perspective considering KAT was always going to bring in more return compared to Gobert.

The wolves are the worse case scenario for building a contender. They jumped too soon. That’s why I be real cautious and conservative when team and media be trying to trade away all of Houston’s assets for so call “stars”. Minny was next for a season and now they’re just a 2nd round team at best squad and they made a lot of moves over the years to get to this point. Ant don’t show it on the floor but healing discontent quotes to the media after every loss

it's not the same thing.

Some situations have a) more margin for error and b) more time to build a situation without constant worry. Nobody's pressuring the Rockets to win or else because nobody knows who you're building around yet. Nobody's pressuring the Rockets to take advantage of a window because nobody's circling around any one guy. The only reason why anyone wants Houston to take advantage of its assets is because them shyts will depreciate immediately if they're not gonna be utilized.

I disagree. Once you’re over that 1st apron the margin for error is equivalent to for all the young up and comers. All it takes is bad contract to mess up your championship window and aspirations. That deal was the Gobert contract for
Minny. It capped and floored that Minny team that want even old really. Forced them to destroy their promising core of KAT and Ant. All the media has been pressuring Stone to trade for star players(Giannis, Lavine, Butler) . Once Houston makes a deal like that, that’s it. They have to make that situation work now or their window is over. Cu those guys are going to put them right at or over the second apron.

There was no such thing as 1st or 2nd aprons til recently, definitely didn't exist when that trade happened.

Minny is cooked, they are not getting back to the WCF. I'm dreading even watching that Randle/Rudy spacing

That shyt gonna be dumb and dumber with Randle thinking he's Melo and Rudy not knowing what the fukk to do with the ball if he gets it

I know this was a money move but still them dudes are cooked now

Who could've saw this coming?
