I'd rather trust Aaron Holiday than him.

Wow, that really sucks, speedy recovery FVV.

Sucks for FVV. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Would the Lakers trade AR to the Rockets? Would the Rockets be interested?

Wouldn’t Amen just slide to the 1?

Thompson
Sheppard
Durant
Smith
Sengun

Regardless, tough blow to Houston. Maybe just maybe he’s able to return if they make a deep deep playoff run?

Coming from the Mavs, who lost Kyrie. It is fking death because there is nobody you can pick up to fill the role. There are not a bunch of Dennis Schroder hanging around, waiting for a team with no cap space to sign them for the minimum.

Rockets are in a good spot, though, because they can play through Sengun, who is looking to make a name for himself. Watch out, fantasy guys!

Although he's short, he's a cerebral player who mainly relies on strength and shooting. He should be able to get both of those back post recovery.

I'm guessing he got hurt during one of his workouts or pick up games.

Damn, feel horrible for Fred. At least he got a new contract for is and next year.

Amen isn't really able play the one like a full time lead ball handler could.

Skeptical Reed can, but looks like we will see.

Awful luck for the rockets, he’s their best lead guard by far, don’t know Id trust reed at this stage on a win now durant team

Rockets will still be good wit KD and all of the depth they have but this is a huge blow, FVV was most likely gonna be 60%- 70% of their ball handling atleast
