Rockets going on all in, can't be mad at it. Hopefully their 3s stay going in come playoff time.

The rockets have an incredible amount of firepower right now, and the fact they will always have harden or cp3 on the floor to spoon feed all these scorers is scary. This team can legit beat GS.

Suns got a steal from the one of the few teams in the league with as bad or worse FO, the Magic. :snoop:

so....the Magic traded Saric, a 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder. for Payton :patrice:

the Magic got rid of Oladipo, Sabonis, and Illyasova....all for Ibaka. all because they thought Payton was the future and not Oladipo. ended up getting rid of Ibaka, so all they got out of this was T. Ross :snoop:

then they get rid of Payton for a fukkin 2nd rounder :gucci:

D. Rose would fit great in Washington, I love that if it happens. I wouldnt mind seeing him go to PHX though and see if some of that med staff magic can rub off on him. :jbhmm:

Houston getting Joe is huge. Joe is a clutch time performer. Should help them down the stretch in playoff games

breh, Joe losing more and more by the minute, just dont know how much he has left. I dont see how he helps. The Rockets need a backcourt defender if they have any hopes of getting past OKC, much less GSW.

So Lonzo Ball is starting tonight??

edit


"This is about Isaiah and what he can do to help this young team continue to grow and to win," Thomas' agent, Aaron Goodwin, told ESPN on Saturday morning. "He's met with Luke and [assistant coach] Brian Shaw and he understands the direction of the team, and wants to come in and contribute the right way. Everything else will work itself out."

Honestly the euro they have starting while wall is out is a better fit.

Did brogdon and deli get hurt for the bucks? He should probably head there.

I dont think so. Postseason is so much different and Harden has to output so much offense. He is a capable defender when he tries but I just see them really struggling because he cant get it done on defense if he has to put out the same amount of offense he has been putting out. Also its yet to be seen if CP3 can defend at a high level anymore for the course of a full game come playoff time.

I like OKC better, especially if Ferguson steps up.

Satoransky is playing good, but Rose is very similar to Wall so I think he would be a great backup when Wall returns. Yes, Deli and Brogdon are out, but I dont think they will be out very long so someone would fall out of rotation. Rose would stay in rotation even when Wall gets back.

Rockets are fine as is. Joe probably won’t play much but he’s good insurance and more importantly, it stops another contender from getting him.

I don’t think OKC can beat the rockets because as soon as the bench comes in the rockets will destroy them. Westbrook can’t rest a minute. They desperately need bellineli or someone that can give them some consistent scoring off the bench.
