Bro forget cooking him somebody needs to do a welfare checkup, mans is having a blood pressure episode or something I've considered Sengun + 4 for Turner + 7 myself but what is this? and then the Cam Johnson one... Damn son he's going to have to answer to the (CF) streets for that
I know and what saddens me is I bet he's reading the reaction of Rockets fans (terrible) thinking we're being homers about this. He's probably reading Nets fans lavish praise on him and think "what a great objective thinker I am". That's the BEST case scenario. The worst case scenario is he is actually intentionally posting things that infuriate us to get more clicks. We want to root for you Kelly. You don't have to make us happy all the time. I know you can't bite the hand that feeds you. This is further than all of that.
Here's where you can tell The Athletic what you think about how Iko is doing reporting for and representing us: https://theathletic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
My thinking was a younger big for 20... For example: Isaiah Stewart has lost time to Duren Maybe a sign/trade for Naz Reid or Jaxon Hayes... Could also draft someone.... Nurkic is just a guy. He's a solid nba player but is overpaid. I have him earmarked as a backup in Houston but first off bench. The main reason is they have to unload all salary not named Lillard or Simons to make figures work. They could move Simons instead but that creates a hole at the 2 guard. They could keep Sharpe but he's not nearly on Simons level yet and the goal is to win now for them.
Sweet mother, please don't let Iko be the mouth of the Rockets. If those trades are indicative of what the Rockets are thinking about doing, I'm seriously scared.
I’m reading the article, and holy sh*t Kelly Iko, are u ok? Rockets receive: Keldon Johnson Spurs receive: The No. 4 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and a 2025 first-round pick (top-3 protected) Rockets receive: Cam Johnson Nets receive: K.J. Martin, Jae’Sean Tate, the No. 4 pick in 2023, two future firsts (including Nets’ own 2024 first) Rockets receive: Myles Turner and Buddy Hield Pacers receive: Alperen Şengün, Kevin Porter Jr., K.J. Martin, the No. 4 pick in 2023 and a first-round pick in 2025 Rockets receive: Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga Warriors receive: Kevin Porter Jr., Jae’Sean Tate, K.J. Martin, the No. 4 pick in 2023, Houston’s first-round picks in 2025 and 2027 and he had the nerve to write paragraphs on each one for why the Rockets do any of these trades… Look Iko, if you’re not reporting inside information regarding the Rockets, we don’t want to hear from u. Wtf is this? If this was April Fool’s, I could let it slide
Yea those are beyond embarrassing. I have personally always thought that he was an absolutely terrible journalist. Not sure how some of these giys are paid for this.
