Trade deadline discussion

Yeah, Hou FO is dumb AF for not keeping Levert and Allen.

I think it is too early to pass judgement. One of the benefits of the Oladipo trade is that the rockets got worse which was the goal. Their 1st rd pick is top 4 protected otherwise the thunder can do a pick swap which is a big deal when the top 4 is this stacked. If the rockets get a top 4 pick then they definitely made the right decision.
 
I'm not complaining about Favors. I know his personality is a big reason for our consistency this year.

But I do think he's overpaid.
1 less year or a little less than full MLE and we could duck the tax this year... again... DL is just a little sloppy sometimes. Barely being a tax team is super dumb if you are staring at the repeater tax in two years to keep your team together.

If only DL could dictate everything and the players simply had to agree.

Having Caris would likely not have changed their ultimate fortune as a lotto team... they got Oladipo because they thought he'd help them... not to tank. Having Caris likely nets them at least one more first rounder for trading their former MVP.

They dumb AF... if they luck into something good it does not change the fact they dumb AF.
 
There's no such thing as garbage time. In a game where we're up 40 to players you've never heard of, Quin still finds <4 minutes for the bench guys.
Yeah that burned me. Should have played bench damn near the entire 4th.

He has given up extra money in deals several times... he isn't a good negotiator... the one time he dug his heels in on Hayward he completely misread the market and lost big time over a couple million.

Backup centers are fairly easy to find... if Favs walks over $1.5M then so be it. I don't think he would have done better than what we were offering.
