I agree but it's definitely possible they can acquire both. Unlikely but Pat Riley is just the man to pull it off if he wanted to.

It seems like Damian Lillard is forcing Portland to trade him specifically to the Miami Heat.
I haven't seen any traction on a James Harden trade yet. Miami is still favored to acquire him.

Is it possible that Jimmy Butler, Damian Lillard and James Harden are talking to each other behind the scenes?
They're probably laughing and having a great time chatting with each other on the phone. Setting all this up.

A new big three in South Beach? Wouldn't be quite as good as LeBron, Wade and Bosh in July of 2010 but still a lot of star power.

Let's fucking GOOOOOOO!!!

BRING DAME TO PHILLY BABYYYYYYY

Why haven't Brook Lopez and Dillon Brooks made their decision in free agency quite yet?
I'm so dead tired. Eating two ice cream sandwiches just to stay awake. Please sign soon!
Even if the Rockets can't land either guy I'd still feel like there are other options available.

Also Mr. 235 billion Elon Musk is ruining my Twitter experience today...
I easily read 10,000 tweets a day! 6000/600/300 is weak!! Come on.

Free agent center Brook Lopez has agreed to a two-year, $48 million deal to return to the Milwaukee Bucks, sources tell

Noooooo! Not the end of the world but what a terrible day it's been. But this does open up Dillon Brooks signing with the Rockets.
It's just that we have zero rim protection on defense. Alperen Sengun is baby Jokic, offensively gifted, but has no reliable defense yet.

The Rockets are desperately trying to acquire Clint Capela. 29 years old. Would be a nice reunion.
Younger than 35-year-old Lopez. Ideal and adds some rim protection, rebounding and block shots.
I don't know though. I wanted Brook Lopez. We'll see where Dillon Brooks lands. Mr. hot head. LOL

@ChrisBHaynes: Free agent guard Pat Beverley has reached an agreement with the Philadelphia 76ers on a one-year, $3.2 million deal, league sources tell @NBAonTNT @BleacherReport

I can't view tweets now. I reached my limit for the day. Sigh. Thanks, Elon Musk!
My ass is hurting like fire. I was trying to hit 50 FG Ladder Slashing but I'm too tired.

Just PM me later if the Houston Rockets sign Dillon Brooks or acquire Clint Capela.
It's been a fun free agency. I'll see you later guys. Happy 4th of July three days early.

Congrats to the Milwaukee Bucks for re-signing Brook Lopez and also Khris Middleton.
My early pick for the 2024 NBA Finals? Warriors vs. Bucks. Chris Paul finally wins a ring!

Chris Paul will be 39 years old by the time the 2024 NBA Finals is played next June. I'm cheering for him.

Also I highly recommend 'Ozark' on Netflix. I finished all 4 seasons and it was sensational! A++ series. I regret not seeing it sooner.

DM after striking out on every free agent and trade this off season:



this man is down BAD
