18 Nov 2025 12:40:35
Spurs say no they are not rebuilding.

18 Nov 2025 17:29:41
The Spurs say heck yes. The value is too good, especially for a player like Fox.

18 Nov 2025 21:35:22
If Wemby was out longer it might make some sense but at the same time if you're the Spurs why would you help the Rockets and add another strong contender to compete against.

Bucks-Heat-

Bucks
- Kelel Ware
- Tari Eason
- Andrew Wiggins
- Terry Rozier (waive)
- 3 1st round picks Miami
- 1st round pick Houston
- 1st round pick swaps from Houston & Miami

Heat
- Giannis Antetokounmpo
- Thanassis Antetokounmpo
- Taurean Prince
- Fred VanVleet

Rockets
- Tyler Herro

The Bucks basically have Giannis, a young Rollins and full of crap, no aseets at all. They need to rebuild if Giannis wants out.

Miami gets their superstar

Rockets brings more firepower


Rockets
Herro
Thompson
Durant
Smith Jr
Sengun

Heat
Mitchell
Powell
Jacquez Jr
Giannis
Adebayo

Bucks
Rollins
Wiggins
Eason
Ware
Turner

19 Nov 2025 12:50:51
Heat w/ o healthy VanVleet are not contenders, they do not have enough shooting around Giannis and depth on this team.

18 Nov 2025 05:47:10
Hawks-Rockets

Hawks get Fred Vanvleet, Jabari Smith Jr & Reed Sheppard + 1st round pick

Alexander-Walker/Krejci/Vanvleet
Daniels/Sheppard

Johnson/Smith Jr
Porzingis/Okongwu/Gueye

Rockets get Trae Young & Keaton Wallace

Young/Holiday
Thompson/Wallace
Durant/Okogie
Eason/DFS/Green
Sengun/Adams/Capela

19 Nov 2025 12:54:08
Still a yes, but probably they have to give up Krejci instead of K. Wallace.

06 Nov 2025 22:16:45

03 Nov 2025 22:42:21
Seems terrible for the Kings. Carter is their best PG, Capela is a back-up.

03 Nov 2025 08:18:50

NOLA Rebuild

NOLA KEEP J Fears and T Murphy

NOLA - PHI

NOLA - Paul George horrible contract along with Jared McCain, Adem Bona & 3 1st round picks + maybe a pick swap

PHI - Zion Williamson, Kevon Looney & Sadiq Bey

PHI gets a star and some pieces to help them win now. Pels let go of Zion and gets 2 interesting young players


NOLA - DET

NOLA - Jaden Ivey & 1st round pick

DET - Herb Jones

DET gets another defensive monster to pair with Ausar Thompson


PHX - NOLA

PHX - Dejounte Murray

NOLA - Royce Oneale, Grayson Allen & 1st round pick

PHX get a good PG to better balance their roster

NOLA - HOU

NOLA - Fred VanVleet & 2 2nd round picks

HOU - Jordan Poole

Rockets get backcourt help

NOLA is tiring and anything they can do now is a go as a fan ?

03 Nov 2025 12:39:05
Pelicans should just beg the hawks for their pick back that looks like it’s going to be top 3 lol.

27 Oct 2025 22:48:09
In December when VanVleet trade eligible

Houston gets-
Derrick White
Sam Hauser

Boston gets-
VanVleet
Jabari Smith Jr
Unprotected 27 1st via Phoenix
Unprotected swap rights 27 1st via Brooklyn

27 Oct 2025 10:04:13
rockets: Nembhard
Pacers: Sheppard+Eason+Holiday+ 1rnd pick Phoe 27

27 Oct 2025 17:57:01
I like it for both teams, Pacers should jump at this package. Houston obviously needs a PG so it makes sense for them as well.

28 Sep 2025 02:26:52
Kings offer same package they offered the warriors now to the rockets for Jabari smith. Monk and protected first..rockets now need guard help with van fleet injury

24 Sep 2025 21:03:54
Miami Heat: Dorian Finney-Smith, Steven Adams


Houston Rockets: Terry Rozier III

24 Sep 2025 23:23:14
Miami owes value. Finney Smith and Adams are important role players for Houston.

25 Sep 2025 00:34:33
Joke of the year candidate.

22 Sep 2025 23:18:14
Rockets - Celtics

Rockets get Derrick White, Sam Hauser

White-Holiday
Thompson-Sheppard-Hauser
Durant-Okogie-Green
Finney-Smith-Eason
Sengun-Adams-Capela

Hornets get Fred VanVleet (inj), Jabari Smith Jr & 2 1st round picks + pick swap
- next season

Vanvleet-Pritchard
Brown-Simons
Tatum-Shierman-Gonzales
Smith Jr-Walsh
Queta-Boucher-Tillman

23 Sep 2025 20:52:10
Love it for the Rockets. Not sure about Boston, the value seems fine but having to absorb FVV with such an expensive roster, don't know if they'd do it.

08 Sep 2025 15:38:08
cle: Green+Finney smith+Richards+ return 1rnd pick Cle/Minny 27+ 1rnd pick Phoe 29 (or Dal Swap)

Suns: J Smith+ F Van vleet+ 1rnd pick Phoe 27

Hou: D Mitchell

Cle:
C:Allen
Pf:Mobley
SF:finney smith
SG:Green
PG:Garland

Hou:
C:Sengun
PF:Eason
SF:Durant
SG:Thompson
PG:Mitchell

Suns
C:Williams
PF:Smith
SF:D Brooks
SG:Booker
PG:Van Vleet

08 Sep 2025 23:11:14
There are many who believe that Green is a negative contract. If that's true, this is a terrible return for Mitchell.

09 Sep 2025 02:16:26
This is an insulting offer. Green is a negative, the rest of the package is underwhelming. That Cavs pick is more than likely going to be in the late 20's.

27 Aug 2025 09:37:14
SAC-HOU

Sacramento receives: Eason, Adams

Houston receives: Monk, Raynaud

Sac depth:
Schroder / Carter
LaVine / Ellis / Davis
DeRozan / Clifford / McDermott
Murray / Eason / Saric / Jones
Sabonis / Adams / Eubanks

Hou depth:
VanVleet / Sheppard / Holiday
Thompson / Monk
Durant / Okogie / Tate
Smith / Finney-Smith / Green
Sengun / Capela / Raynaud

Not sure if Adams is immediately trade eligible. Kings may look to buy out Saric to add another PG.

19 Jul 2025 03:11:41
Houston Rockets to complete their offseason should sign both or either Malcolm Brogdon & Alec Burks for vet mins since they need backcourt depth


Vanvleet - Brogdon - Holiday
Thompson - Sheppard - Burks
Durant - DFS - Tate
Smith Jr - Eason - Green
Sengun - Capela - Adams

This is a 15 deep roster with mix of Vets and youth at each position

01 Jul 2025 20:46:38
The Bucks traded away Jrue Holiday for Dame Lillard, Jrue won another title before them, now they are waiving Dame to free up space to get Turner. Turner is a great fit but waiving Dame just like that while having around 14.5% of dead money on their cap space for several years is not the best decision for a franchise. Now watch out for Giannis to request a trade unless they are really in a serious contention mode as the season starts.

Meanwhile, several teams would be more than happy to sign Lillard and let him heal on their facilities.

Miami - obvious one
LA Clippers - home
Portland - the return
Celtics - let him and Tatum heal and compete in 2027
Minnesota - needing a point guard, they can afford to rest him up now and still win a lot of games
Phoenix - can use an allstar guard alongside Booker
Others: Kings, Warriors, Rockets

27 Jun 2025 13:56:15
rockets: D white+S Hauser
Spurs: F Van Vleet+J smith+ 1rnd pick 28 Bos
Bos:D Fox

28 Jun 2025 11:23:30
Not going to work financially for Boston.

27 Jun 2025 11:28:44
Rockets-Kings

Rockets acquire: Demar Derozan & future 1st round pick top 10 protected

Kings acquire: Jabari Smith Jr & Jock Landale


Before you click unbelievable, hear me out.
Not a blockbuster but can help both teams

The Rockets acquire another vet "star" who is healthy and can carry the old just in case Durant needs some load management. This also opens up big opportunity for Tari Eason to be the main man off the bench

VanVleet - Holiday
Derozan - Sheppard
Thompson - Whitmore
Durant - Eason - Green
Sengun - Adams
- can sign a vet PG and Wing

The Kings get a stretch big who can stretch the floor and play D to compliment both Sabonis and Murray. They gave up a protected 1st only if teams think the Derozan's value is low

Ellis - Carter
Lavine - Monk
Murray - Laravia
Smith Jr - Lyles
Sabonis - Valanciunas - Landale

28 Jun 2025 01:35:23
Like this for the kings.

28 Jun 2025 03:14:07
I like this for both. DeRozan is a great player even at his age, would be a great fit in Houston.

03 Jul 2025 00:57:04
Not bad.
