    We probably did reach out but the asking price is too much. Stone is probably going to wait until it comes down or live with somebody overpaying. I could see Detroit going for Brown or Kwahi.

    I think it’s going to happen. I have a feeling either we lose Amen or Durant. The move doesn’t make us overall better per se but could solidify a star to build around. Don’t like the move personally but seems a good fit with Udoka due to their relationship.

    I also think his athleticism is just kinda cooked due to all his injuries. John Wall/Derrick Rose with guns. You don't trade for a guy like this when he doesn't have his defining advantage anymore, and probably never will again. Especially when it's a guy who has shown absolutely zero signs of being willing or able to reinvent himself the way Rose kinda-sorta did. I think Morant will be out of the NBA within five years.

    *There is a price where I'd take his contract, of course (and promptly buy him out because the fit sucks ass). Can we have Cam Boozer? Pretty please?

    It's just that. I think some of us are done with the youth movement. I would trade any of our young guys for Isaiah Joe if he is really being shopped.
    If we resign Tari, we will deeply regret it. Thats the thing some of its coaching,but a lot of our picks that we brought in after tanking, have these glaring flaws that have not been corrected or at least improved on. Tari is basically the same player from when he first came in the league. Maybe a little more improved shooting, but he still can't dribble drive, can't really pass, and has low iq. Same can be said of all the young guys.
    I think that if Ime is going to be here, he will never tank. He will always try to make the playoffs, because it gives him some saving grace. I do want him, or an offensive guru as his assistant.

    The Rockets know why. And aren't interested.

    Media keeps attached Brown to the Rockets because of Ime but that is all it is. Media guessing.
