I like FVV, but the extension talks are scary. They are likely doing that only if they are planning to do something win now that requires...
19 ppg is not a star. He hardly played his 3rd year. Amen put up 18 ppg last season. If LAC didn't want to trade him, they wouldn't have. You do...
75% of improvement typically happens in the 1st 4 years of a player's career more or less. Amen will be in his 4th season, and Sengun in his 6th....
I don't disagree with the ideals. My thought is that Quickley likely locks up the salary once Amen's extension kicks in. It is likely to take at...
LAC would not have traded SGA if he was already a star. He showed signs. He got hurt.* Amen and Sengun show signs. * I will say, SGA always...
I would like Ware from Miami. Not as much as some here.
SGA is a good counterexample. He didn’t look like a no-doubt superstar immediately, his real leap came around years 4–5. Giannis was not a...
Amen, Sengun, Quickley are all win-now guys. They are producing value now. In a couple of years, the Rockets are likely worse than they will be...
I don't think the NBA would be against this as long as 2 deals work separately, as they approve several deals that don't fit the rules if treated...
Quickley is getting to the good portion of his contract. Toronto was wise to sign him to a contract that doesn't increase per year. Obtaining...
Adams and Reed not playing 500 minutes together sticks out to me. Adams and Thompson numbers are good, but the minutes of those 2 with Reed really...
If I concede that Amen is not good enough to win with KD in the short term, are you willing to concede that Amen is not good enough to win without...
Being tall helps a player get their shot off. It helps with weakside defense. I don't see JSJ being more than a high-end role player, but I'm not...
I do not really see this as resetting the rebuild. It downgrades the upside of two future picks into nearer-term, probably less valuable 2026...
Tari's average gravity was still above average. There were some games that he sucked really hard, but for most of the time, he was slightly above...
I've gotten things right. I've gotten things wrong. Overall, I am a decisive person when I need to be. When a decision doesn't have to be made...
I see this as the Amen/Sengun window. While I have soured a lot on Amen and Sengun this year as likely multiple All-NBA guys, I would not give up...
None of the above. The Rockets are not in a place where they should spend much to build around either player. I don't mind small moves to see if...
OMG! I thought this was an AI joke. I don't mind a teaser a day or 2 before the announcement. This is going to be almost a week and a half.
I would not build around either at this point. I lean Amen as the one most likely to get to the point to build around. I don't like posts that try...
