wanting the corpse of Chris Paul.
If you want Chris Paul, you really have to wait for the off-season or do it last off-season. His Non-guaranteed $30MM next season certainly won't be picked up, but he probably isn't resigning with the team who waives him. Even then, he'll likely have his pick of places to go on a cheap contract, and I doubt San Antonio will be on that list.
It's Alvarado who has fallen out of the Pelicans deep guard/wing rotation, not Daniels and the latter isn't "underperforming".
He's exactly as projected so far, which is a versatile, high impact defender and "connector" on offense, who lacks the dynamism to be a lead creator and the shooting to be a spacer.
He's not at all what the Spurs need.
Interesting, havent followed that team. I assumed they were giving him run at PG, which is wheret he draft people projected him to play. If he's not that, I agree, its not what we need. Sounds like Sochan bascially.
Right now Daniels is probably better than what we could hope to get in the 24 draft. Like you said he has two more years left on a rookie contract. It would be probably 2 years before any 24 draft pick could help us anyway. I'd offer the Charlotte pick or like 2 or 3 seconds and Branham for him. We could really use a backup point since Pop doesn't want to play our backup point Graham. Besides Graham is probably waived next year.
Rockets seem to be about to blow it up and trade they young players. I'd see what I could do to grab Jabari Smith while his stock is low.
Would be hilarious if they did, since they didn’t tank to save their last opportunity FRP 1-4 they owed this year. Lose the first ick, and suck for a few more years, although I wouldn’t trust the current FO to make that pick.
Where are you seeing this? Could understand dumping Jalen Green, that dude's looking like a bust. But Jabari Smith is a quality starting SF with some real upside to develop into AS level later down the road given his size and athleticism. Not a bad defender either. I'd love to get him but imagine the price would be very steep.
From The Athletic via HoopsHype:
The Rockets have joined the long line of teams showing extremely high interest in Nets forward Mikal Bridges, league sources say. Houston made an offer including multiple first-round draft picks for Bridges in recent weeks, but the Nets have zero interest in any deal involving Bridges, who is part of Brooklyn’s core moving forward.

Not sure if that's a typo, but Smith Jr. is clearly a PF.
I doubt the Rockets trade for a star, but they'll probably land a rim running/protecting C and/or combo guard that can shoot.
Yea, I'd be all over JS if he's on the table. He'd be #1 in this draft by a mile.
Just for fun, if Jabari were getable, what would you offer?
Honestly don't see a way he'd be gettable for what the Spurs could offer. Anything centered on the 2024 Spurs pick would have minimal appeal for the Rockets since Jabari is likely better than Risacher or Williams at the forward spots and they just invested in Amen Thompson at the PG. Gotta think Amen would probably go #2 in this draft. Only way I could see getting Jabari is maybe if the Spurs get the #1 pick and the Rockets really want Sarr to shore up their interior defense.
PJ Washington has come alive last few games
also.. s bag miles bridges continues to play very well
rockets have no reason to move off jabari... he's a good, young player who is showing improvement and still has untapped athleticism. he'd be an awesome pairing next to wemby fwiw
I’d offer a serious pick for him. He’d be perfect next to VW and Sochan.
Athletic report and some local reports saying that at the trade deadline and in free agency they are looking to obtain some star level players and that the only player they have on their roster that is untouchable is Sengun.
If they are really looking to get a star player there is no way they are going to be able to do that AND keep Jabari. He is the guy the other team would want in a trade for a star or he is the guy they would have to trade somewhere else to get multiple 1st round picks to give to a team for a star.
i think they're exploring trying to make that kind of deal happen where they keep jabari. i cant imagine he's on the table at this point.
I'm not sure. It'd probably be a 3 team kind of deal. I'd probably offer expirings, one of the Atlanta picks, and KJ.
When they're saying they're exploring trading young players and picks for a star, I think they mean Jalen Green and maybe one of Eason/Whitmore, not Jabari Smith Jr. Him alongside Sengun are their best young players, no chance they let him go unless we're talking Luka or Donovan Mitc at least.
No way I give up Jabari to get a one way chucker like mitc ...but the rockets probably would.
I agree. Obviously they love Bridges and have for some time, but i think a smaller deal for Robert Williams would make them really good
Robert Williams blew his knee out, the latest in a long line of injuries, and is lost for the season. If the one year timeline holds,he won’t even be back in time for training camp. He injured it in a game n November 5th.
RW is a nice player and i've rooted for him since he was at A&M, but his knees are shot and i don't see him lasting in the league for too long
