That was my initial, thought, too. KAT doesn't exactly fit the modern NBA PF model. I can't imagine him on the perimeter defending smaller forwards. But Gobert in the paint should help address some...

Not sure how I feel about this trade for both sides, but it kinda makes sense. On paper, I like the idea of Minnesota trying to improve its defense, but not sure how that looks like with KAT next to...

You notice how every single player Philly has added so far was a Rocket he acquired? Morey loves his guys.

Anyone else think KD's contract is legitimately pretty bad, and the Nets are going to get pennies on the dollar for him? If you're Miami or Phoenix, I would laugh at including Bam or Booker in that...

Memphis would be crazy to make that deal. Morant is a bordeline top 10 guy just entering his prime. Durant is a 34-year-old who can't stay on the court and is making $50 million a year. I wouldn't...

I didn't love the deal at the time, but I still contend that it was the right move. They needed to tank hard, and I'll be damned if it's not working. Back-to-back top 3 picks, some very solid first...

It's a damn good day to be a Rockets fan. This Brooklyn implosion has been an absolute delight to watch (although I do feel at least a little bad for Nets fans, who didn't deserve this).

Yeah, I can't believe there isn't a thread for this already. There's never a good time for someone to commit domestic violence, but it's especially poor timing on his part.

I haven't read the...

Watching another person try to single-handedly defend Harden, I remember how exhausting it was. It's nice being on the outside looking in for once.

I'm Switzerland in this. I think it's great...

This feels like a lot for Murray, but the fact that they kept Collins feels like a huge win and none of those picks is likely to be great. Have to think Atlanta jumps up some playoff seeds this...

You built your team based on offensive dominance. I built mine on defense and sheer versatility. Also, I don't love the Shaq and Giannis pairing since Shaq lives in the paint. Defensively, your 1-3...

C KG
PF Giannis
SF Kawhi
SG Allen
PG Lebron

That's as elite a defense as I think you could build with this group. The only struggle might be against the bigger centers, but this five could...

Meh. Sorta. I think it was already a foregone conclusion that he'd played his last game in a Rockets jersey. But at least this ensures that and it ends any questions about what they were going to do...

If the Lakers whiff in free agency and fail to make a splash when they easily could have swapped Westbrook for Wall, it's kind of on them. Now that being said, I don't think for a second that Wall is...

Obviously I'm biased, but I think the Rockets had back-to-back stud drafts. If I sat down and wrote down my dream draft vision for the night, I'm not sure it would have gone this well. Jabari wasn't...

:hi5::cheers:

Detroit did have a killer draft! Good night for both franchises again!

Houston turned the 26th pick around tonight for the 29th pick and two 2nd rounders tonight. So the final haul was Wood for cap filler, TyTy Washington and two 2nd rounders. I'm good with that.

Green also included in the deal, which is interesting to me. In terms of value, I don't love it for Morey considering Christian Wood and Jerami Grant were got with similar/worse deals than Melton,...

That's a classic Morey trade. The man never met a first round pick he couldn't get rid of. But he always manages to find impact players with those late first round picks via trade. I really like that...

I ****ing LOVE what the Rockets have done so far. If I had two big weaknesses heading into the draft with their young core, it was length and defense. And they went out and got two of the best, most...

I'm more shocked than anything. There was some noise overnight that Vegas odds has shifted on the No. 1 pick to Banchero, and I think most Rockets fans assumed it was because they were trading up to...

TyTy is way too high and Dieng is way too low, and if th Rockets take Wesley at 17, I won't be happy. Sochan at 15 also seems too low. Other that that, this is solid overall.

I don't have a super strong opinion either way on Ivey, except I really don't want the Rockets to take him and would prefer Banchero. But two things on this take:

1. Zero chance they trade the...

Yeah, I'm sure the rebuilding discussion is exactly what angle they took, and that's not going to work with Westy. I think you're right. You take the "reduced role" angle first, and if it angers...

He's not really a 4, though. He's a 2-3 who's playing a 4 half the time because the Rockets don't really have a true 4 or much length at all on the roster. Even by today's NBA standards, he's a...
