I personally gotta go Hakeem just every so slightly because of how dominant he was two way.
After this latest Denver trade it is obvious the owners don’t want to pay big luxury tax and want to rebuild. Jokic should request a trade. He is on a different timeline.
Rockets receive: Jokic
Denver receives: Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr and a crapload of picks
Why the Rockets do this? It is fricken Jokic that’s why. Jokic with KD seems like a perfect pairing.
FVV, Amen, Tari, KD and Jokic is a killer starting lineup. With Adams, Reed, Smart and Bogdan off the bench.
Why does Denver do this? They get a 2x All Star 24 year old center to build around. They get a 6’10” 3 and D wing. Plus an absolute haul of draft capital.
The Rockets picks available:
27 Swap rights with Nets
27 Suns pick - zero protection
28 first round
29 - most 2 favorable 1st round picks of Mavs, Suns or Rockets
30 first round
31 first round
32 first round
33 first round
Would ya’ll trade for Fox? The contract isn’t great, but the Rockets need a point guard to help a balance the roster.
I know he wasn’t averaging 40 like James, but he was still an important piece in our 2017-2018 team. He also stayed through the best and through the worst times in Rockets history. I feel like the organization should consider it
The shorts are a lot heavier, and thicker than I for only four dollars! The material is very high-quality and I’m very impressed with the fabric and look!
In the summer of 2004, Mike D’Antoni was 53 years old and had a career record of 35-76 as an NBA coach.
His future induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame seemed … unlikely.
Yet here we are, more than two decades later, and D’Antoni is heading into the Hall of Fame this weekend. From 2004 to 2020, he won 672 games, two Coach of the Year awards and six division titles. He made three conference finals, delivered seven 50-win seasons and three 60-win seasons. His 65-win Houston Rockets team in 2018 has a strong case as the best team in NBA annals to not win a title.
