    Sadly, and this isn't my wish or opinion, the Rockets are SOOOO unlikely to ever trade Fred. We as fans, are stuck with him and he'll likely slide right into a job with the team after retirement.

    I picture Ime and Stone chilling together scrolling through basketball reference trying to find some bargain bin non shooters to also add to this roster of non shooters. They are purposely trying to be anti modern NBA and win will a team for of bullies and brick layers.

    Yeah - it isn’t a secret. Brad Stevens referred to Brown in the past tense when talking about him yesterday.

    Rockets will likely have some level of involvement - but Brown is 29 years old and the Celtics are a smarter organization than the Rockets. If the Celtics really want to move him - maybe the Rockets should wonder why.

    everything and I mean everything that anyone with any connections to the team has said is that the Rockets are not interested in Jaylen Brown. The national media attaching them to Giannis and Brown is simply because it made some amount of sense and the Rockets have very attractive assets. I have NO IDEA who the Rockets are interested in at this point but I just know they weren't interested in those two at the a) asking price b) ages c) contracts.

    It's because they don't have the balls to make any meaningful move. They are afraid of the ramifications if the trade fails. They proved this last year by not addressing anything at the trade deadline.

    I’m interested to see who else they think they can get that will be pivotal and impactful?

    Literally the only other star players would be Ja Morant (who killed his own career), Kawhi (old & injury prone), Embiid (old & injury prone).

    Mazzulla replaced Udoka, then got a title after.

    Udoka has Sengun right now, if Mazzulla get his hand on Sengun, he might one of the few coahces who can unlock Alp. If that happens, would not be a good look for us.

    dayum.

    I think the Astros should trade Jake Meyers and Paredes to Boston for Jaylen Brown and Jarren Duran. Then flip Brown to the Rockets for cash.

    Rockets get their starting all-star guard they need

    Astros get their outfielder they need

    Red Sox get their infielder they need

    Boston gets rid of Brown.

    Win/Win/Win/Win
