I also want someone to sign both Cody and Caleb Martin.

Too late. Charlotte already did and let one of them walk to Miami...

Love this trade for.Dallas.

They really needed a big.

Both Bro-pez were in Milwaukee.

Yes. I’m a fan of reunions

Is that really the best Houston could do for Wood? Cuz that return is, yeeesh.

I’m really starting to believe that Nico Harrison understands this GM thing way better than anyone might have suspected when Cuban hired him.

I’m also getting a sense that he’s not done yet.

Seems so. Miami could have done that same deal with bettter role players involved

It doesn’t seem they did tho.

Also couldn’t offer Martin lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

I get Wood was on an expiring deal but he averaged 18 and 10 on 50% shooting and he shot 39% from 3. Last year he averaged 21 and 10 shooting 37% from 3. He's only 26.

That is an absolutely horrendous return, that might be one of the worst trades I've seen in some time actually. You should at least be able to get one young player. The best thing they got in the trade was the 26th pick and they got like 9 players in the trade LOL.

They def didn't.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Mavs are out of the 1st round…

That would be a great deal. Love Christian Wood and think he pairs well with Luka.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Wtf are the Rockets doing????

Like OKC and so many others, they’re tanking again. But the rule is if you do that and you’re the Sixers they cut the legs out from under your franchise and make you hire Colangelos to fuck shit up. If you’re not the Sixers, they don’t give a fuck.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Thybulle springer 23 and salary floatsam for grant works

Yes please! Sixers really lack for athleticism

I mean how many contenders need a center?

It seems clear Charlotte wasn’t giving up a top 15 pick for him.

East Coast bias apparently

Still need to move Harris if that trade happened IMO.

Suns will soon.

They also openly admitted it.

I’m curious if presti gets whacked

But the sixers also were openly making a mockery signing guys who were not legit nba players to keep the tank strong

Kinda like trading a proven big for table scraps?

Still need to reform the draft process IMO. Teams should not be eligible for top 5 picks in consecutive years (unless by trade). You could even get rid of the lottery with that format, or some stepped version of it over multiple years, maybe 3? After receiving a top 3 pick, the team can't be top 6 the next year, then can't be top 3 the year after that.

They are tanking, but they are doing it totally wrong.

This is the 3rd young, talented player with positive trade value they have essentially given away in salary dumps to make the team worse.

You MUST get back future value while making the roster short term worse.

The Rockets have not done that in their trades of Lavert, Allen and now Wood.
