If you can decipher it….

More favorable of PHX and WAS 1-8 to WAS [or neither to WAS if WAS not conveyable]; two most favorable of (i) less favorable of PHX and WAS 1-8 [or (ii) PHX if WAS not conveyable], (ii) MEM and (iii) ORL to MEM then other to CHA (via WAS swap for PHX; via MEM swap of ORL for PHX or WAS; via MEM swap for PHX, WAS or ORL; via PHX to CHA)

What ? A 23-year-old rising star. A top 10 pick. A decent defender. And extra second round pics for a washed up veteran who’s almost 40 years old on the tail end of his career and is injured a lot. You’re crazy

Jalen Green sucks ****. The Rockets did good to get off that contract. A late lotto in a bad draft. Dillon Brooks, LOL.

Good trade for Houston. They get a #1 they need. Don't give up anything major. They have replacements for Brooks. Green is a YMMV player. PHX feigned they didn't even want him. 10 in this draft especially isn't worth a lot. And even the 2nds are fake looking at where they're coming from.

Ishiba's got to be the center of attention, doing this right before Game 7 of the Finals. And of course he's incompetent, even more so than our FO. We should be looking to deal w/ them and Sacto in the future, if we can.

Rockets got better for the '26 playoffs if KD is healthy. I'm assuming the young guys continue to improve.

Green’s trade value absolutely plummeted bc of the playoffs. Dude looks like total fools gold. Houston made out well to push for a couple years (assuming KD isn’t malcontent).

It was his 1st playoffs, like KPJ's. I'd be very leery of that criteria. More sympathetic to the ups & downs in the regular season, & that he's never been more than a mediocre efficiency guy. And Houston's a bad offense, but not totally bereft of talent lately to take some pressure off.

Speaking of which, & KPJ, when he was there, he beat Green's ts% by .03, while being more of a playmaker for teammates & rebounder.

Call Ishbia asap. He loves being fleeced. Kuz and Pat for literally anything.

Houston’s gonna be insanely tough next year barring KD falling off a cliff. 5th in SRS this past season and now replacing Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks with Kevin Durant lol. And that’s before considering the internal development potential for guys like Thompson, Sengun, Eason, Smith Jr, Sheppard, Whitmore

Why is the NBA allowing trades to happen on the day of Game 7? Does the league even like the actual game of basketball anymore? This will be all they talk about pregame now and I’m sure Giannis will come up and they will be pushing scenarios to get him to Houston too.

It's true. They highlight the off the court product, with "analysts" like Screamin' A too, who crap on the on court product. And then they complain the games don't get ratings so they need Giannis and co. to go to big markets. They're short-sighted & terrible at promotion.

2nd rounders for good teams are basically worthless. Picks will be 50-60 in the drafts where you’re throwing darts at a board. Good trade for Houston. Phoenix is just a mess so they can find a guy at 10 and hope he’s another stud, hopefully develop Green, and then basically be irrelevant for another 10 years.

nah, i dont think so at all. with the 2nd apron rules, and even the 1st apron rules, 2nd rounders are more important than ever.
