@wojespn: "PICKS TRADE: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading three second-round picks to the Phoenix Suns for two first-round pick swaps (2024 and 2030) and Isaiah Todd, sources tell ESPN. The seconds are 2025 via Pels, and Memphis’ 2028 and 2029 picks.

In 2024 and 2030, Memphis will have the right to swap its own first for the lesser of the Suns/Wizards firsts, sources tell ESPN."

The Houston Rockets are loaded for a dominant team from 2025 to 2035. They're loaded with incredible young talent all up and down their roster. Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore and Tari Eason just to name a few... Now with a head coach in Ime Udoka who knows how to get the most out of young players.

All they needed was a couple decent veterans to help them learn how to win more games and make a playoff push at some point in the next few years. If nothing else Fred Van Vleet is an NBA champion and all-star. Dillon Brooks is an all NBA defender. At worse they'll become much better defensively.

Even if the Van Vleet and Brooks contracts don't pan out. Oh well. It was worth the try. The team will still have all that young talent developing, and hopefully hitting their peak, when both of those contracts come to an end. It's not like the Rockets can't afford those contracts of 3 and 4 years respectively.

People are acting like they didn't have the cap space to splurge this off-season. It was worth the gamble. Sure, I wish there was more talent available in free agency this summer. Next summer was supposed to be loaded in free agency but a lot of those guys are getting re-signed by their current teams.


Quote me on this… nothing they did this off-season will make them a contender in 25 moving forward.

Didn't expect this, but hey more depth.

"Signing doesn't change the team's desire to bring back Paul Reed, per team source."

If they re-sign Reed, it would leave Trez as 4th center? 🤔

Yeh, can't say any of us saw this coming. He apparently had locker room issues when his min got cut last season.

So, Lillard waited for the Blazers to give Grant a huge extension and requested a trade the day after...
Now, he and his agent are telling everyone that'll he'll only play for Miami?? That's while the Blazers have absolutely no interest in the only "asset" the Heat have

Portland doesn't owe him shit. I don't think they cave and give him away for a bag of basketballs

Holy Fuck another situation of a dumb mother fucking cunt bag who earned literally 0 litertally nothing in his life trying to demand he is the face of the nba and he can do wahtever he wants.

What have you done Dame? Brought Portland to the second round? NICE
