- Itโ€™s painfully obvious why Whitmore hasnโ€™t been playing more. The guy doesnโ€™t play team defense or offense. When his shot isnโ€™t falling, his only elite skill is crashing the boards and dunking junk around the basket. His ball handling isnโ€™t above average so I question his ability to be prolific driver. I think heโ€™s talked/played his way out of attractive trade bait. Iโ€™d love to get a conditional first for him, but thatโ€™s not happening. Maybe heโ€™s a piece we can package in the next big move.

Are you going to get a better player than Cam with a conditional first round pick? I think he needs more coaching and PT but has undeniable talent.ย

I think we could get a better fit or maybe a Euro Stash with high upside.ย

Cam is one of those guys that would immediately score 20+ every night if he was starting for a bad team. He's an immature player right now, but he's still so young. Would hate to see him blossom somewhere else, but I understand if the organization tries to trade him for a piece that gets us closer to championship contention.ย

ย Awesome analysis on Adams' impact on this team.ย  Dude is still a fucking mountain in the paint that almost nobody can match in strength. I hope we see some of this in the playoffs.ย

Adams was a great signing and has fully delivered on the court. Love him.ย 

ย 

We traded for him at the deadline last year. I think he will be even better next year as he gets healthier. The Rockets should do everything they can to resign him, unless they can get the C from Portland that played for Ime in Boston.

So glad Whitmore is healthy. That Harden foul was so much dirty bullshit.ย 
ย 

Yet Silver would rather get hair plugs than fine him.ย 

ย 

it's his time to shineย

Not here to troll (like I have on occasion in the Astros thread). ย But if the Lakers win, we pretty much lock the 3 seed. ย Then this would be the round 2 matchup. ย I think it would be a close series. ย But I think the Lakers would take it in 6. ย Luka and LeBron in the playoffs will be hard to beat. ย But I think Adams in the middle would be a problem.ย

What does Ime says during these timeouts lol.

Uhhhhh yeah guys just calling a timeout so it looks like we are "engaged". I really don't care wtf yall do so yeah go fuck around and shit

For the record i think the West playoffs is gonna be a bloodbath and could see pretty much any team winning a 7 game series... except maybe Kings unless they are fucking playing the rockets....and the Mavs

Luka is just rounding into form. ย Iโ€™m so we got him. But we have him, and are now the best team in the west, when it comes to playoff experience. ย We have to be top 4 chances to win this.S

Watching Luka on the Lakers really makes you know the league is rigged and corrupt.ย 
ย 

NBA so desperate for a return to their 90s peak they flat our engineered a trade rape.ย 
ย 

Hard to take it seriously and think there is anyway the NBA lets the Rockets win in the second round after forcing a superstar next to their falling star James.ย

So where does the suns pick need to land in the lottery for the rockets to get it?ย 

Donโ€™t we have it already with the Suns missing the playoffs?

I should have stated this better. The Suns winning potentially gives us a worse pick. I was hoping theyโ€™d lose out.ย

Getting ragey already

Playoff Jimmy Butler concerns me. Doesnโ€™t scare me, but he can be a problem. I hope they get bounced in the play in.ย

Hereโ€™s an updated look of the Harden/Nets trade with the Suns pick falling in the lottery:

James Harden for:

2022 โ€” FRP #17: Tari Eason
2024 โ€” FRP #3: Reed Sheppard
2025 โ€” Top 9 projected pick
2027 Suns FRP
2027 Nets FRP swap
2029 Suns and/or Mavs FRP
