No wonder the Rockets are a joke throughout the league when our own beat reporter is making trades like this. I wouldn’t even trade Sengun for those two straight up

If this is another Kelly Iko trade he should be put down

We gotta start assuming Iko got hacked

It’s not like there are reporters out there who have sane trade proposals. They probably don’t even watch most of the games.

These are just insane, Myles turner has been on the trade block for the past 5 years, we could probably get him for #20 and like KJ Martin Jr.š whoever makes these doesnāt know ball

Does the Athletic test their reporters for drug usage?

Those two couldnāt even lead Indiani to a playin game. What can they do for our younger roster?

There were rumors earlier this season that the Lakers would have traded those two for Westbrook and 2 future firsts. Not sure why he thinks the Rockets have to pay 5x as much.

Who did this? This shit is stupid. If this one of our writers we need to message them cause this some laughing stock shit
PotentialShotX
What is up with undervaluing all our talent? I get we were bad but our players aren’t

Both things can be true but separate. I donāt think NBA insiders are making definitive judgments about the franchise based off one goofy beat writer.

Assuming we also get James, this aināt too too crazyā¦ especially if the pacers send us picks and/or role player

I donāt think most league decision-makers conflate beat writers and front offices.

Yeah all of his proposed trades are pretty fucking stupid
And Iko having to respond to the fanbase absolutely sh!tting on him on Twitter (he also occasionally shows up here): >[[Iko] Iāve literally written a hundred times that this team can take a bunch of different options. Literally have a big board coming Monday assuming they keep the pick. Like relax.](https://twitter.com/kellyiko/status/1662537784219795456?s=46&t=IVwCnWBGBmlVtsz55wyv1w)
This fucking awful. A great young center, great upside guard, solid future starter, a top 4 pick, and a 1st round pick from a bad team for a good starting center and an old role shooter?

Throw in Jalen Green and we got a deal!

Wow! This is an embarrassingly bad trade!

This was a recent cohort of Iko trades. Wouldnāt call the Rockets a joke re: one beat writers **unsourced** trades:
