Rockets come out of this with Oladipo fitting much better with Wall.
Amazing trade by the rockets if Oladipo stays healthy

KD never gonna live down the superteam slights. I’m getting strong last seasons Clippers vibes from this team.

They re-signed Giannis so unless he requests a trade, they're fine

But they'll never win a damn thing

Never know maybe he signed due to covid and uncertainty and could ask for a trade once bucks lose to nets in ECF

Man everyone is obsessed with the picks but if you are trading a talent like Harden who has term you should at the very least be able to get a good young player in return in addition to the picks.

Rockets are gonna move up the standings now that the chemistry issues will be alleviated and adding Oladipo next to Wall. Helps our tank

WTF are the Cavs going to do with both Drummond and Allen?

Man...gotta wait to see what those picks are but I have very little confidence I'm where the nets will be after next season. This could end up being multiple (as in 4 to 6) lottery picks when all is said and done.

Great trade for Houston.

calling it now, Kyrie will end up a clipper by the deadline with ibaka, Beverly and parts to the nets

True, but I mean Oladipo is a pretty damn good consolation prize + all of those 1st round picks. Still just 28 (29 in a few months) and he's looking good so far this year.

Rockets made out like bandits here.

Objective is clear this season for Raptors.

Good for the Nets though

So all Cleveland gave up was Exum and they got Jared Allen and Taurean Prince back?

Harden, KD, and Kyrie are 31, 32, and 28. They're going to be good for another 2-3 years at least. I don't see more than maybe one of those picks being high.

Swaps and every pick past 2024 has a good chance of being a torn-down Nets team by that point... Pick Swaps in 2025 & 2027 plus an unprotected pick in 2026 will all be highly coveted...

Right now Kyrie is AWOL with Stephen A telling him to retire and even when he comes you have 3 players that need the ball in their hands to figure out. They will be good and as I said, all the picks from 2021-2024, are pretty small in the broad scheme of things, but there is some juice at the end.

Yeah, you're right. I overreacted to the news. Looking at it by year, it'll probably be 3 good picks, maybe even 4.
