    KD will be 38 before the start of next season and hasn’t done sh*t since 2021

    all that efficiency while he poisons the locker room

    KD with a 5-14 record his last 19 playoff games including 2 sweeps…couldn’t even play more than 1 game these playoffs, and the game he did play, he was a disaster

    Poison the locker room?

    It's a mens league, if your feelings get hurt because you're being called out for sucking then play somewhere else.

    You want KD traded for more emo players?

    Stone traded for KD and thought he did something

    rubbed his hands together and said “my work here is done”

    dude ain’t even trying anymore, so I’m not trying to go to anymore games at Toyota Center…he’s toying with the fanbase now

    he better have something up his sleeve

    Good. Everyone needs to do this. I won’t even buy rockets themed cups or bubble gum at this point

    I'm not sure what the plan is, but I'm not too concerned, the odds of fielding a team that could beat OKC or San Antonio are so low.

    yes, poison the locker room

    BK locker room? Disaster
    PHX locker room? Disaster
    HOU locker room? A joke, making it the trifecta

    And even if he was some model teammate, you have nothing to say about his age or abysmal playoff record since 2021? You think any of that is getting better moving forward? Dude ended up with 2 different injuries these playoffs. He had more injuries than games played in the 1st round.

    Brown's value was clearly much worse than I expected. PG's contract is much worse considering he is six years older and has been on the decline for four straight seasons now. The two 1st round picks are also two and five years out respectively. And Philly has a promising young backcourt so it's not too likely that Philly crashes out and gives Boston lotto picks. This trade closes Boston's window completely.

    all my Rockets sh*t is going in storage

    you’re not about to sell me on Marcus Smart, Bogdan, obese FVV off an exploded knee, and Steven Adams like that’s doing anything for a team that was down 3-0 to a geriatric Lebron who was moving around the arena pregame with a mobility scooter and a bunch of bums and no-names

    I bet you they were so focused on Smart because the Lakers beat our ass so badly they developed an outsized opinion of him

    Shockingly light package for Brown right? Basically 1 pick (when factoring in the tax for taking PG's contract)? Wonder if we could've gotten him for KD straight up.

    WTF this is nothing. Can someone tell me what Stone is doing? Sleeping at the wheel?

    Now this is a player Stone should have pulled the trigger on. Jaylen Brown is the young nucleus we have waited for a long time and we should have traded KD for him.

    They didn’t trade for Jaylen because the money wasn’t going to work in the future and there were no really good Centers out there to be had. All signs point to Jrue Holiday now.

    KD alone would've been a better return than this. Sad we didn't go for it

    That's crazy JB went for so little. I wasn't a fan of pursuing him b/c I thought it would cost too much.

    FVV, DFS and Capela + picks would have worked under the cap. I wonder if we ever put that on the table. Getting JB without losing Alp, KD or Amen would have been amazing. This has been one of the wildest off seasons I can remember.

    I thought it would cost more too. I think I could've been talked in for that price too. Or KD straight up.

    All Brown costs was 2 frp & a salary? Come on man. I don't love Jaylen Brown but that's cheap as hell for a 29 yo all NBA guy. But no I guess we're happy with a 38 yo one?
