Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses the Houston Rockets impact of the Brooklyn Nets trading Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, what that does to the value of the Brooklyn picks Houston currently owns, the possibility of Kevin Durant being traded next and how the Rockets have unique leverage in any potential KD trade scenarios, either to land him themselves or facilitating the trade as a third team. Jackson also shares takeaways from the back-to-back games over the weekend against the Toronto Raptors and OKC Thunder, including Alperen Sengun adjusting to opposing defenses game planning for him, Josh Christopher finding his rhythm and downhill play, and why TyTy Washington should NEVER play behind Daishen Nix ever again.

Would you trade pick No. 2(ONLY) for KD if Harden was signed?
Keeps current roster, Adds KD/Harden
What should Houston do with the Brooklyn picks in the aftermath of the Kyrie trade?
Would you want to see them trade for Durant?
Brooklyn went from having a solid good managed organization that came back from disastrous moves and a poor draft situation and created a playoff bound promising team with draft picks again
to then a possible all-time all talent team with top superstars in their prime
And then back to a poorly managed organization with no draft picks and only 1 aging superstar left and quickly heading back to the same situation they were in post Leaving Garnett & Paul Pierce.
Are they bound to continue this cycle forever?
Go back and ask the astros if all the 100 lost seasons was worth it. Pretty sure looking at the outcome and results of all that losing would be yes it was worth it. Rockets could be the same but if you take shortcuts and quick fixes it won't turn out well for the Rockets. Take a page from the astros
Nix and Matthew at least play hard I'd rather have them.
You build around segun dummywhat are you talking about
All season stupid..
Nah if kyrie harden and Durant weren’t enough to win it all I wouldn’t want to run it back with them being 35
Durant is good but he is 34, no way would I give up all those assets for Durant. You are giving up way too much bro!
If Houston lands the top pick in this year’s draft, that alone would be enough for KD.
Should we send nix back to the g league or trade him?
Man I couldn’t do a KD trade if it came down to Jalen and/or Sengun I’ve grown too attached 😭😂
I would have made an offer for Kyrie Irving that was cheaper than I thought
Durant is 51 next year !!!did you hear that ?he just broke a bone
I have no interest in aging stars
Durant and harden I just threw up …that was the dumbest thing I've heard since trade Sengun what doing staring a retirement home basketball team
Ohhh god please no!!!! We don’t own our own picks why trade these valuable picks for an over the hill player?
You're a good dude Jackson but im not gonna lie these, James Harden theories Rockets fans be having are delusional. Bro James Harden made it very clear 🤣 HE DOES NOT WANT HOUSTON. He doesnt like the owners, doesnt like the coach, WE SUCK. That man is not coming back stop it. If you want a virtual hug Ill send you one but you need to let it go. This is not healthy its like hoping an ex will come back, let it go brotha lol
