I can't believe that the Rockets couldn't get a single one of the young guys.

Also, where is Green going? No way he stays.
Love, Hurts.

More shooting guards. Great. We are 1 or 2 more shooting guards away from contending imo.


Who are the top shooting guards in the draft that we can get with the 10th pick?
You already know the answer. It’s Jase Richardson.
He’s way closer to 29 than 10….would be a catastrophic miss if we do that.

Green - yuck
Brooks - eh
#10 - Excellent (but was a no brainer)
5 2nd's - decent number
No other young talent - wtf
No other 1st's - wtf

I’m expecting Brooklyn for Claxton

Would be an interesting fit with Cam Thomas who is basically the same player.

This is a franchise crippling trade. We got essentially the worst of all rumored trades. We got not a single young player back with any kind of hope or promise. We got only one middling draft pick back. Houston didn't have to give up Jabari or Whitmore or Sheppard.

Absolutely pathetic negotiating from the Suns FO. They got completely hustled here. They should all resign in embarrassment.

I hope you guys realize that we are now going to be a really, really bad team through at least 2032. We are completely fucked now.

I’m putting out Ryan and Oso on the trading block to find another player who’s shooting guard. Preferably 6’4” or 6’3”.


6’5” is a little tall for my taste.
I would tweak da fuk out, lol.
I've spend the off-season buying hundreds of dollars worth of Oso and Ryan rookie cards

I don’t know that I’d call that 10th pick middling…it’s decent. I think this is a low value outcome, but honestly at best we were hoping for 1 more guy? Like Cam Whitmore turns this from franchise crippling to good value?

The franchise crippling trades already happened…this actually does set us up better than keeping Durant…it’s not great, I don’t like it that much, but it’s far from franchise crippling…

And apparently all Miami was offering was Wiggins, 20 and salary…you gotta remember that those rumored trades were almost certainly not true.
