Not particularly novel, but I want Stone to shop that same deal around the league and take the best offer available before the draft.

rockets have to be careful here, kd nuked the nets and suns then skipped town 

Those teams had issues. Durant was wise to bounce in both cases.

 

Nets:

2019 - 2020 Nets... signed Kyrie and traded for KD. Covid season

2020-2021 Signed Steve Nash to coach (even though he'd never coached). 

2021 (Jan) traded for Harden.

2022 (Feb) traded Harden to PHI (for Ben Simmons, mostly).

2023 (Feb) traded Kyrie to Dallas and Durant to Suns.

(Durant, Harden, Kyrie played 16 games together.)

 

Suns:

2022 Dec Mat Ishbia buys team.

2023 Feb trade for KD

2023 May fire head coach (Monty Williams, NBA Coach of the Year the prior year) day after losing in 2nd round to DEN (champions). Hired Frank Vogel.

2024 June Fired head coach Frank Vogel. Hired Mike Budenholzer

2025 May Fired head coach Mike Budenholzer. Hired Joran Ott.

This will be a new coach every season after firing a winning coach because a team that played together for 4 months lost to the eventual champs. Mat Ishbia is a freak.

Maybe Holiday/Tate as well

Holiday has a 4.9m option that would need to be picked up to be traded, and that would further increase the gap of being above the 1st apron.  If they can give Fred a deal starting at 28m and escalates for 2 years, that could work, but they would need his buy-in on a deal like that.  Fred's the real wild card in all this, because these multiplayer trades only work if the team can change their apron status.  If he really takes a discount year 1 to help the team trade only Green/Landale/Holiday/#10 for KD that would be pretty cool of him.

The team option deadline for of FVV was mutually agreed to move to June 29... which is post draft and should allow them to create a flexible offer. They will absolutely come to a lower AAV deal. Nobody is going to offer FVV $45M AAV. 3/100 gets it done.

Yeah, I expect them to bring that number way down. It's a matter of how much, since I doubt anyone else is going to offer him 30m+ a year.  I heard 3 years ~90m thrown around, which I think is fair for him, but if he can help structure it a little lower to start, it really opens up the trade options by dropping under the 1st apron.  Also, the team can't go into the 2nd apron in this kind of trade, and I doubt management would want to do that anyways. If he helps make this happen for the least impactful amount of assets going out, it will be a huge help to the team and really show how committed Fred is to winning with the Rockets. I really hope we see that happen!

Game theory guys assumed the 3/90 would be front loaded and go down each year

 

*and the leaked trade offer is most likely missing Dylan Brooks contract. 
 

Young player (#10)

 Tradable asset - Green

Immediate rotation piece- Brooks (on short term $20 per yr)
