No! No! No! No to trading for old guys on the downslide with huge contracts that cost a ton of assets! No! No Giannis, no Kyrie, no Kawhi, no Harden redux. None of them! They make too much money and they are hurt all the time and they cost too much to trade for! And they all have holes in their games that have to be covered for! No! No trades for big guys that can't shoot and make $30 million plus...like Gobert. BIg guys that can't shoot are a dime a dozen. The 1.5 extra blocked shots and 1 extra rebound they give you aren't worth 30% of the Salary Cap!! No to overpaid guys like Julius that think they can shoot but they can't and they hog the basketball and make low iq plays all the time. No! No to all knuckleheads like Ja! What an idiot! Send me 3 future first round picks so I can unload his sorry a... the first time he screws up again....and I'll give you fred and DFS. Otherwise NO!! No to trading up for guys like Yaxel! I don't care how good he looks. He won't last. He's going to wind up in trouble. 10 baby mamas and clubbing all the time when we need him most. No to giving up assets for that! No guys with more than 2 baby mamas! Get them out of town! Keep them off my team! They're stupid! No to guys wearing fingernail polish and worried about their styl'n contracts instead of their JUMP SHOT!!! NO to all of them idiots!! No to all guys drinking Henessey and smoking Mary Jane after the game! No!! NO to the second apron, the first apron....and No to all players that wear APRONS!!! No to dumb guys like Tari that make plays now and then and then they screw it all up by trying to be an offensive playmaker when they will never be good at it in the next 4 lifetimes! Just no! Get us out of the luxury tax now! We ain't a championship team and we need trade and salary fleibility until we arrive. No to piling up luxury tax season with rosters that cannot win a championship that then takes into the repeater tax which NO TEAM continues to pay before breaking it down! That's stupid! Just no! No to all dead end trades that don't leave us an out to get better, that leaves at the end and cannibalizing our team...like the r****ded CP3/RustyBrick trade that ENDED the Harden era....at his stupid demand! No to bringing back Morey and paying him millions! For what??? He deserted us after he cratered to Harden. Then he went chasing Harden! He's not worthy to be in our front office! No to MOREY!! Go get three guys that are DAWGS!!! That will work their tails off. That know how to shoot! That have great basketball iq and a CLEAR THINKING MIND! Guys in the lower end of the draft...vets...4 year college guys that know how to play and they are clean and smart! Convince them to stop working out for other teams and sign them to 4 year deals with team option on last season and pay them like pick 30. Get rid of over-the-hill guys like Capela who are just taking up cap space and burning minutes. Burn minutes with vet minimum bigs that can move and fly around and can possibly learn to shoot while they are switching everything and grinding for the boards and blocks....on a $1.5 million salary. This team at this point has 3 guys....Alpi, KD, and Amen. Everybody else is fodder save for possibly Reed. Even Stephen Adams. Dude can't stay healthy. Paying him $12 million to play a third of the games is the same thing as paying $35 million for another big to play all the games. That's stupid. He's almost overpaid if he can't stay on the court. As much as I like him....move him out if we can get assets for him and replace him with a young active big that has a brain and can and will work hard!! Clean the roster up. Get rid of mediocrity getting paid. Who needs mediocrity. Get mediocrity average play from guys making less than $2 million who are serious about getting better and earning a big contract. Not guys making $15-50million!! Just no to all that losing!! See if the Lakers will trade for Bari and give us a pick. Or the Pistons ...pick 21. With no salary coming back. Then sign Rui for about a third of what Bari makes. Better yet, go sign Skal Labisserie to a 4 year $10-15 million deal non-guaranteed and plug him into the lineup. He'll give us the shooting we always wanted from Bari. And use the pick for an older rookie that has brains and skills. Sign Kenneth Lofton Jr. to a small salary deal for 2 years or to a non-guaranteed deal like 3-12 or whatever. Get him on the court and let him work off the bench. Try to sign Collin Gillespie cheap....4 years $25 million or something like that. He's a dawg! Leaves it on the court. Plays defense even though undersized. And supersmart. Points and possessions creator. Same player since college. No trouble. Just works. Makes smart high iq plays. Get him cheap! If we want to hang out and wait for superstar trade candidate...wait on ANT! or Tatum! Not Jaylen! Not the rest of the old guys! Just NO to so many things!
Have a similar concern. We all know that in the next 4-5 years, western teams must go through the spurs to the top and thus provide answer to containing wemby. (At least slow him done significantly). Thus, the rockets must draft a big that has similar dimensions ( height and reach). Blazers has D.Clingan, Suns has maluach (potentially), grizzlies has Zach eddey, OKC has chat Holmgreen (need to gain strength) wolves has R.Gobert who was not good enough (same case with lakers and other 7 footer teams).
Should refer to OKC model to becoming a champion. (Same case with Celtics a few years back ... No trade to overpaid stars but building smartly thru the draft and a few solid good veterans)
Agreed to almost every item, except trading Bari. He's on a good contract. Jabari has shown growth. Keep him.
Rockets have Sengun. Why don't you pull up the comparison stats vs Wemby for all those players you mentioned, and then Sengun?
So tear it all down to add third or fourth tier players with Rui as your prized acquisition? Lol terrible Armchair GM Also is doing molly or coke after games ok? What about whiskey, ultra or budweiser?
I like his thinking but disagree on Jabari and Reed, they are keepers. The rest - well....as the op said....NO. Oh, and Trade KD's b****ing whiny ass for future FRPs. DD
