Covington was also amazing with his help defense and shot 50% from 3 in the playoffs. He's really damn good and was our second best player....I dont know whats going on.
Brother, WB demanded out a week ago, Harden demanded out days ago, just relax and let it go family. We all know whats going on lol Coving is turning 30 in a month and only had 2 seasons left on his deal, we simply recouped the value we spent on him.
This sucks. He’s worth more than these picks but we got a trade back essentially. Ariza is basically a last ditch effort to make Harden happy. I’m guessing these two picks are packaged soon. Higher pick or for a center like Myles Turner? We’ll see,
I don't know man, he at least gives you a bigger presence on the court. Not saying it's my choice, but size does matter in this league and although Rockets small ball experiment was fun, we did get killed on the boards constantly. RoCo was good on the team, but he wasn't that good that you can't trade him away if Stone actually does have another trade in mind. As we've seen multiple times, if you want to make moves, you better have expiring contracts and some FRPs. Once again, I am in denial and just attempting to find a positive spin.
But....why Ariza, that's the only part of this that doenst make sense? Are we really gonna use these picks for something or rebuild? I wanna know....uggggggggh
Aren’t we just trying to get a stretch big? https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/20...ick-houston-interviews-stretch-big-prospects/
It won’t be pretty. Tilman will **** it up like he has everything Houston basketball since he’s been here.
Ariza is simply a 12 million expiring to match salary for Portland. I'd like to believe we're gonna dump WB and land some deal for another great player and keep Harden... but that's looking like a fairy tale. Harden and WB have demanded out, it's safer to assume it's over then otherwsie.
Rebuilding teams can often be more fun to watch/be a fan of them teams with no future/disgruntled stars that don't have what it takes to win a ring. That being said, this is going to be Tilmans rebuilding team... so we're pretty ****ed.
it’s not possible. With pick swaps we’d be tanking for the Thunder. I don’t know why that’s so hard for people to understand.
