As draft day approaches, Rafael Stone and the #houstonrockets brain trust have a lot of big decisions to make. I explore the 3 scenarios that may occur, a draft night trade up, picking at 4, and trading back!#nba #podcast #basketball

Do any of these trade ideas move the needle for you?
I like the last one but the Nets are too incompetent to recognize the value.
These are the type of trades im looking for. Id take any of the 3.
Whatever happens, I will only believe Harden is coming to Houston when I see it. He just needs leverage and we are good for that. Harden only has loyalty for the contender holding the biggest bag. I think Philly will be holding that bag. After he gets paid, he will demand a trade from Philly if things start looking shaky.
Murica daddy!!!
If that last trade happens Iām completely sold on stone as a GM because I personally think scoot Henderson is THE guy
Praying for scoot hendersonšā¤š
Give me Cp3 and the small forward from the nets and good rim protector in free agency and with the 4th pick in the draft give me Aman Thompson off the bench to develop a decent outside shot to go along with his great athleticism and working with something š
Great trade proposals Frank. Get Scoot at all costs. Donāt think Brkln will give up Bridges but taking back Simmonās contract is very attractive. Kudos
Didn't Suns announce that they are releasing CP3? How do you trade him?
The trade up was the only one I like that was a great deal for all ends hopefully that plays out
At the end of the day ownerās would always go towards selling tickets so i wonāt be surprise if they take harden for 3 or even 4yrs. That doesnāt mean i like it.
1). Why would we give up picks for Chris when he was rumored to be waivedš§ Absorbing that contract would help Suns so I donāt understand why would we give up assets when Iāve literally heard you said we have limited picks.
2. Why would we give up a top 5 pick for Turner when no team was willing to give up two 1st for him and Hield? On top of that you want to throw in a BK pick just to move back for a player that overcrowds our front court? Turner, Alpe and Bari would get cooked. If Stone was that desperate to bring him in & bring Alpe off the bench, a Bk 1st, swap and Tate should be more than enough to land him.
3. So weāre trading 4, KPJ, BK picks for Scoot, Simmons with no upgrade at SF and no valuable picks leftover tilā 2029 to upgrade the wing?
Respectfully, these are all terrible trades and a misuse of our assets. Stone should be fired if he made any of these moves.
You, Mike Brown and David Weiner have shown over and over that yāall undervalue our players/assets and treat every move like itās 2k.
Time to hit that unsubscribe buttonš¶
Shoutout to Ben from Lager Line and Gatlin (most times) for doing great work and keeping it šÆ
a.try to move up for scoot b. draft cam whitmore at 4 thats your only 2 good options with that pick
If I was CP3 id join a contender bro, i dont have much years left i wanna retire a champion
CP3 is a great option, Iāve been saying that for a while now, but I think TYTY is the future at point for the š and Chris would help take his game to the next level.
Ya went dumb on that intro fam
Real h town Shi
Yea but can score better and not as injury-prone
Iām perfectly fine drafting Amen. We donāt need Harden nor Ivring. They will mess up our team again it they decide to leave. Harden ran out on us and it it makes no sense to mess up the team again to bring him back. CP3 is a far better option with less risk. We need to keep both of our picks.
Instead of taking on those two huge bad contracts to get Scoot, I would rather just draft Taylor Hendricks and sign a veteran point guard as a free agent.
Intro song has me wanting to make love to my woman
I like Naz Reid and Cam Johnson for FA targets. I also think absorbing Hayward for 1 season and 4, 20, plus any of KJM, JTate, UG, JC is worth it for Henderson. Would even consider top 10 protection for 2024 Nets (who's record after trade projects to put hem at about 8-10 draft position). The FA 2024 class is better with younger, better free agents. Clear a log jam at SF for Eason. Don't even care if Hayward plays. I want to see Scoot H at PG and Tari at SF. If Rockets offer Cam at >$22 per season, we may get him and if not, their match hampers Nets and makes it harder for roster building while we get their picks. Turner is a good fit but not sure about the pricetag, not too bad if we get #7 back.
CSGs š¤š¾šš
Van fleet or kyrie
I love that last trade idea. Would love to see the Rockets pull that off
My manās is giving up way too much in the move up trade. Why do we have to give them 1st rounders to take their terrible contracts?
I'm thinking of a three team trade;
Rockets get Brown, 3rd rd pick(Blazers), Gallinari, C's 2024 first rd pk.
Celtics get Dame, KPJ, Garuba and JC.
Blazers get Jabari Smith Jr, 4th pick(Rockets), and Brogdon.
It may be tough to trade Jabari after one szn but I don't believe he's apart of our final plan.
Nailed it, Frank
