Rockets blowing it up?

[13 - 3]

Blowing it up or does Morey have a hint wee are about to be stacked in good talent?

Sources: In calls to front offices, Houston GM Daryl Morey is showing an aggressive desire to improve roster with all players and picks available in talks. Hard to imagine James Harden scenario, but the rest under contract - perhaps even Chris Paul - could be moved in right deal.

Nope

AD for Harden straight up?

I wouldn't

Davis for Capella and CP3 does work on trade machine. I know I need to take a break from Fletcher

Burn that idea with fire.

I would trade AD for harden in a heartbeat and I’m not a great fan of harden. This is a wings league

How old is Harden? Perhaps it is better to look younger. Like in Boston?

Interesting take

I know the knee jerk reaction is to say Capela isnt the right center next to Zion, but look at what Draymond and Looney are doing. No, Capela probably doesnt finish games in the WCF, but lets worry about that when we get there.

Why do that when Robinson has all the potential Capela does from NY, but for less than a quarter of the money, and also the picks NY has are better? I know MM has it in his head that the Knicks players are all ''too dumb'' but is Robinson really less functional than Ojeleye? Nah. And it's better to have more picks spread out across several years rather than just a ton of mediocre-to-crap picks all this year.

Owner is on board with whatever Morey has in mind

I had someone tell me last night "'Run it back' is not what we do.' He obviously knew it sort of was last season. When I pressed he said the entire bench in unsigned so there will be a lot of turnover. But if he is to talk at all, and he always does, it has to be about starters. https://t.co/95Ghqrd4LY

It seems MM is all over the place with his proposed trades. He also is saying that the best odds (50%) are that AD is on the Pels roster on opening night. He is convinced the Jaylen Brown will get a max deal and that is why we should not trade for him and instead go for a package from the Nets that is more quantity over quality.

Fixed that for you.

That doesn't sound foreboding at all.

I wouldn't

I wouldn’t hesitate. Jrue/Harden/Zion would be absolutely incredible! Yes please! That trio can win a championship together. Harden has been so close to knocking the Warriors off without much help. You give him arguably the best compliment PG in the NBA next to Harden along with a potential super star in Zion and things for Harden might look a little different..

Robinson is going to be a beast and I was upset we didn’t draft him. Kid is just learning the game and already has a big impact when he plays. He reminds me a lot of a young Tyson Chandler with more potential as a scorer. Just getting stronger and growing into his body along with a slightly better grasp of the game gives you a very solid center. The Knicks IMO hands down have the best trade package if RJ is included with that 3rd pick. So many different routes we can go once we acquire some of the Knicks valuable young assets like Dennis Smith Jr. and Kyle Knox that can then be flipped.
I like the Boston deal and paying Brown who I’m very high on doesn’t scare me. No way will he get the max and if he gets somewhere near it then that’s a very good thing meaning he had one hell of a season. I can promise you another average season will not get Brown a huge pay day.
