This shows you Houston was not able to get a young 'star" player. They got greedy. I'm sure Boston or Philly would have offer any of their role players plus the same draft picks.
All Houston has is wishing the Nets implode after the 2022 season with Harden/KD/Irving walking away. If they don't walk away, the Rockets are looking at no draft swaps till at least 2025 that is any value. And 2 future first late 1st round picks.
The Nets didn't trade for 36/37 year old KG/Paul Pierce here. They got 28 year old Irving/32 year old KD/31 year old Harden. These guys with modern NBA load management can easily play 4 years together at or near their peak. counting on an implosion is wishful thinking.
I think they could have gotten a young “star”. I think we could have gotten Ben Simmons
Our owner just wanted to save money by getting expiring and picks. Tillman is the worst.
It was honestly shocking to me that Simmons was offered and Tillman went with the Nets deal.
Clearly he was acting out of spite instead of doing whats best for the team.
Simmons. Thybulle, a first rounder to me is far better than the Brooklyn offer.
They better hope the Nets are terrible by 2027, of they won't get anyone close to as good as Simmons.
Houston used sixers as leveraged plus tried to bluff Morey.
Simmons plus thybulle plus a first round pick is enough. Remember Simmons is locked in for 4.5 years with no player option. Thybulle on rookie contract
Houston wanted 3-4 unprotected first round picks on top of that plus maxey. It’s crazy what they wanted.
That’s the equivalent of 6 first round picks (thybulle and maxey are first round picks the last two season) plus Simmons
