I hope it works out..
I'm definitely looking forward to watching some rockets games when I can..
Good luck KD.
@Llano and @spider705, do y’all like the trade?
I like it overall. They got rid of Green and kept the rest of their young core. Rockets still have 2 of the Suns unprotected firsts too. Of course there's risk with injury prone KD but you gotta take a shot with him.
The shit that was talked was centered around not overpaying for an aging superstar and not gutting our young core if we did get him.
We kept Sengun, Amen, Shepard, Whitmore, Tari and Jabari. We're adding to that Durant and keeping Adams. I expect FVV to renegotiate a more cap friendly contract that will allow them to add another piece.
Right now, nothing to celebrate. Gotta wait and see how this plays out on the court.
As it stands now, our 9 man rotation is pretty fckn solid:
Van Vleet
Shepard
Amen
Whitmore
Eason
Jabari
Sengun
Adams
Durant
No real Rockets fan is celebrating just yet because we've seen this movie before... the aging superstar coming here giving us false hope they'll never achieve.
Are there any suns fans here?
The ones I saw on Twitter are pissed
Im sure they are, they've basically gave KD away for nothing. Lol
as they should be
They were just in the finals and then a 60 win team
How the fuck you go from a championship contender to a bottom three western conference team that fast.
Thank that owner
There are lots of Rockets fans celebrating lol.
But the fact is, een with KD, if the Warriors ran the same, blitz KD and force Sengun to shoot defense, the Rockets will still lose in the playoffs unless they actually implement a real offense.
And that's if KD is even healthy in the playoffs.
This shit crazy, only for them to be shitty next season.
I mean you gotta hope for the best.
Also, thunder got to pay a lot of guys who would a want more money which some of them could be gone or get traded.
Glad to hear that you like it, I like it for you guys too!
Not in the next year. KD is only signed for one more year. And if you sign him to a 2 year max, you probably can't afford VanVleet.
I saw a game he started snd still got no minutes lol.
He was probably doing dumb shit
like a cheap whore in the trap
I wished the sixers could've drafted cooper flagg. Iverson wouldve been cheering for Cooper in a sixers uniform.
Crazy that he CANNOT be WAIVED OR TRADED.
Damn.
Mark Bartelstein is the REAL MVP
He was smart when signed that no trade clause and doesn't care about winning since he got his check.
I hope if this is true?
That man realizes that in long run? He might really regret it.
Being a filthy rich punchline aint as fun as many may think.
Yeah, we'll probably get the truth about how he really feels when it's all said and done with him retiring telling it all on a podcast.
by then it will be too late.
