    Part of me wants to see John Wall play out the end of the season with the Rockets. I would love to see what a real point guard could do with the young guys. I don't think that's happening but you can dream. I love the pick swap – I have to give credit to Stone for doing something.

  7. Ryan Richardson

    I did the math. Instead of just clearing off EG contract of like 18mil, with all the players we acquired with expiring contracts, Stone cleared about 33mil. So I guess that’s something

  8. Bryan

    What are we gonna do with wall tho? Hopefully he can be our starter pg, he deserves a second chance tbh

  10. Freddyb

    Eric Gordon, thank you for your service…we'll be rooting for you from afar…

  11. Aldebaran Alazar

    Is he getting traded all because he made that unnecessary foul in the last second of the game last night? lol only kidding.

  12. Antoine Brown

    FINALLY!!! no more eg at the 3, he gets to go compete for a title in LA (hopefully lakers won't regret not picking him up 😂) kj gets to start at sf full-time, Josh & uzi get consistent min now that garry & Bruno are gone & the bk picks look great atp. Everything's looking up 👏🏾

    So summary of rockets trade deadline to my understanding:

    1) nets blew up team so if they are tanking then we benefit from the harden trade tremendously

    2) sent Bruno and matthews who I have np with since they are dog for 2 trash expiring veterans which will free up cap and roster space and obtained 2 2nd rd picks via okc

    3) sent Gordon to clips to move up from the bucks pick hopefully 10-12 spots and got wall (which will be waived) and Danny green

    Rockets are cleaning off their books for next season. Fernando, Gordon and Matthews off the books is close to $60M. Getting Wall's contract and waiving him is $10-$11M. If they keep Green or waive him that's $6.9M off the books. That's between $70M-$80M they'll have.

    This will open up roster spots and min for our young guys. Way to clean up!

    Should have thrown Silas in with the deal. Losing faith in our GM too. He Forrest Gumped any discernible favorable position as a result of the Harden trade. No one in a million years would think the Nets would implode this soon. We need a HC and we need some free agent talent. Trade some of this draft capital and spend some money!! Now Wall is back, Green? Wtf. Bruno is gone? Median age just dropped big time haha! Maybe we can use all our first round picks to move up to number two pick. You know the Assn ain’t giving the Rockets the First pick. I’m assuming they give it to SA or DET. Yes I believe the lottery is rigged like a lot of other things that can be bet on.

  19. Mikee C

    Didn’t John wall just spoke mad shit about the Rockets in one of the podcasts lol

  21. Redd

    Gordon is a Rockets legend. He’s been playing in houston since i was in 6th grade now im in 12th grade 😂😂

  23. LA

    Even the refs got the NBA script helping the Rockets tank 🙌

  27. Pedro L

    I think John a wall really puts us over the top and gives us the best chance at a championship this year

  29. Robert Mediado

    Silas should learn first to hold the Assistant Coach instead of learning the NBA games thru the head coach position. Fans are disappointed with him as a coach.
