If the Houston Rockets don't advance past the first round of the playoffs they may be "all in" on a Giannis trade this summer.
Smarter choice is to keep building around their young stars. But patience will be running thin if they continue to underachieve.


if Giannis goes anywhere I'd be fine with Houston, San Antonio, or OKC. if he goes to LA or NY its rigged

Glad to see ^vtrix still runs around this forum reporting everyone.


Probably MildSambal in this case. We won't see Vtrix for a while. 40% percent warn means the little guy is on a break. He fed MildSambal the Kool aid before he left tho. Good luck to you both.

Thunder and Spurs are less likely to shake up a successful roster that has some youth and great chemistry.
The Rockets will be more desperate and willing to make a major move this summer given their inconsistencies.
I'd be shocked if the Rockets simply "run it back" thinking Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams will fix all their issues.

OKC is in a talent overspill situation, they can't pay everyone so they need to consolidate their assets

the Spurs are probably fine to stay put

I'd rank it in order of likeliness 1) Rockets 2) Thunder 3) Spurs

You may be right about the Lakers or Knicks. The Lakers have nothing to lose trying to pair Giannis with Luka this summer.
But the Rockets have better assets to offer the Bucks in a trade. Including 2027 and 2029 unprotected first-round picks.
Rockets have Phoenix's 2027 and 2029 unprotected first. With option to swap Suns 2029 pick for Mavericks unprotected first.

The Houston Rockets are 8-2 in the 10 games Reed Sheppard has started.
Not sure why it's so difficult for Coach Ime Udoka to simply start the kid.
Reed only starts when there's an injury. He's the best point guard we have.

Seems like a game I would've bet on. I bet on the Bucks straight up a week ago. They were up 15 points at halftime.
But they still got blown out by 23 points. 120-97. Outscored 33-8 in the 4th quarter. I laughed watching the 4th quarter.

Outside of maybe the Cleveland Browns. The Los Angeles Clippers have to be the worst ran franchise in all of sports.
The NBA is still investigating the Clippers for that Kawhi Leonard payment scandal. We'll soon know their punishment.
Seems like the NBA is going to fine the Clippers owner upwards of $7 million and take away all their draft picks as well.
