He didn't get an identical leverage play on Phoenix. First, he didn't get control of Phoenix's draft for 3 straight years. Second, the Nets had...
Look in the mirror.
I have no idea if Stone got more or less than he wanted in the previous negotiations - that is irrelevant to me, because the only thing that...
I don't think he is saying that Stone didn't counter - what he is saying is that Stone should have gotten more than he did when you consider that...
It does matter - because the value of the picks is based on the perceived likelihood of them being high in the draft and the quality of the draft...
It isn't really 4 high level assets. It is three possible high-level assets for two all but certain to be high level assets. It also doesn't...
It wasn't a horrible trade - Stone very seldom makes horrible trades.... It just wasn't as good as it should have been.
So basically for the #3 pick they want to give up #9 and two lottery protected first rounders? Those types or picks are not worth much at all. The...
Four assets for two? It is really three assets for two because the Rockets are not going to want to swap their 2025 first rounder for the Suns. At...
They should have gotten more - period - Did they add value with the trade? Yes - but they left more at the table.
I think you hit the nail on the head perfectly. The Rockets (and this includes Stone) have done a good job of player evaluation in the draft. I...
Really? I flat out said that the Rockets had leverage, that they were in a situation to get MORE back from the Nets in this deal and they did not...

This. The reality is that Stone had a lot of leverage, and he could have gotten back more than he did. This is part of a pattern with the...
NETS HANDLING OF ASSETS The Nets wanted a star to put next to Bridges. Their GM has admitted there wasn't one out there and there wasn't a...
The deal has actually been brought up before - the Rockets want to push the date the picks are realized down the road so they can hold onto it longer.
Yeah they “redid” him and made him work on delivery repeatability. Good for him that he actually listened to possibly the best pitching coach duo...
What do you want him go apologize for? “Hey I’m sorry for the Astros signing a player I had no real input on and then defending that player in...
The Astros are petty as **** too. If the Astros manage to catch the M’s - they will let everyone (including the M’s) know they are back…. Between...
Yup - zero excuse for that either, we were clearly the more talented team… yet we gave them games… same with Framber and that 7 run inning… he and...
