RC_Drunkford get in here and spin this
Wow, threw in 5 second round picks plus the 10th pick. Spurs were never going to go up on that offer. Would have looked good in silver & black. Oh well. I hope Jeremy, Devin, Keldon and those guys have a good season, or are traded elsewhere before the season.

Lol. You're about 15 posts late but thank you for this update.
I really hope Sochan and Vassell have good seasons. It’s about to get ugly around here
I suspected it would be Houston - that’s why I question the fit. I still don’t get it.
Good deal for Rockets.
Shame about Spurs, he would have fit in so nicely.
Damn. I really want Vassell gone out of this. If he isn’t hurt he’s putting up too many single digit games for my liking tbh. I hope we can package him with some picks or another player to get someone else…
Oh stop it, you were talking about it as if it was a done deal for weeks.
Btw,

What a world we live in.
Congrats. Are you happy with what was given up for him? What's Rockets fan's take on the assets?
I hate to say it but this is a great win for Houston. Getting rid of Jalen Green is probably a positive in and of itself, regardless of who is replacing him. Getting rid of Brooks opens up more minutes for Eason who is a much better player anyways. There will be good prospects on the board at #10 but Houston is in position to make a push and I don’t blame them for opting to go all-in.
Let’s really hope Vassell/Sochan/whoever we pick at 14 turn out to be worth it. Obviously still plenty of opportunities for us to still make moves this offseason so we’ll see what happens.
Rockets forum must have gotten to 100 faster than we did.
But I bet we mixed in more political posts, so joke's on them!Rockets forum must have gotten to 100 faster than we did.
Honestly kinda relieved. I was open to it if it wasn't an overpay and liked the fit and mentorship potential but somehow this feels like a dodged bullet. We still need help though and if they target say Cam Johnson after not landing a KD it's going to feel diminished a bit.

Just announce 120M/2 extension so we can put this thread to sleep
I’m ecstatic. We kept the other picks from the Suns, got rid of Green, and kept Jabari.
Good get for the rockets. They are a top contender for the next couple of years. This is precisely the player they need in their heavily iso offense. Get rid of a psycho in Brooks and a bad player in Green. Durant can initiate their offense and this actually unlocks a player like Sheppard.
For the Spurs, it was always going to be extremely hard to figure out the touches if Durant came on. It would have buried Harper.
Glad we didn't overpay for him, relief tbh
The Rockets really got Harden, Westbrook, and now Durant to play for them
Glad for you djohn. This really levels up the Rockets, you must be thrilled. Hate to say it but HOU is getting scary lately.
I don't know about that, this is better for Phoenix than a Vassell + Barnes/Keldon + 14/Sochan offer. Houston did well calling the Suns bluff (pretty obvious, though), for Phoenix I don't know that they could have done much better under the cir stances, this will come down to what they flip Jalen Green for. If they can get a decent center and/or 3&D wing for him, it's a good deal. If I were them I'd be calling Brooklyn and trying to work out something around Claxton + Cam Johnson + 26 for Jalen Green + filler + 10
Obviously the Suns never liked the Spurs offer or it would have happened. They liked the Rockets offer the most.
That was honestly quite a bit to pay for Durant. Not sure on the fit still. Want to see how him and seg fit. They're both ballers so should mesh well. They'll be a fun team to watch with Durant slowing them down. They were so messy last year.
Really looking forward to the draft now though. 14 is the only thing that isn't a certainty. Addw excitement back to the draft. They also have their assets to move in for another pick as well now.
Could be a fun night.
We landed Wemby over the Rockets, they can have 37 year old KD.
As a Spursfan, #14 is back on the menu!
A little exciting after weeks of not really expecting to keep #14 now the pick is interesting again.
