After all the fireworks in the offseason and the season right around the corner, I'd say we're in a good position once the league kicks off again. Should be soon enough.

Should be a big uptick in activity when the player ratings get released, and obviously BAF's opening night.

I'll be damned if I'm watching the Rockets closely, but their lineup makes no sense to me. They're going to be terrible this year, I'd just throw Sengun into the fire instead of Theis just to get a little more playmaking out there. Having Green/Porter as the backcourt seems like a recipe for disaster if the Rockets even want to run an actual offense.
Green is oozing with talent and potential though, can't deny that.

I think it could work in time the more they play together but I think it would rely on Kevin porter focusing a lot on becoming a better playmaker he has 19 turnovers through 3 games already.

I agree. it'd be a bad thing if any of my role players got uptick and I traded him.

once he broke out I have stayed away

I feel a little better now with that role filled by Duarte but everyone can use a Desmond Bane on his contract too. So understandable he's attractive to want to acquire but they missed the boat now that he has broken out no way you are moving him.

Lol I’ve always inquired about Bane…in my head. Never bothered to pitch an offer though cause I was always sure it would be followed by rejection. As MPH said, he’s just one of those players you want to have on your team.
