Morey needs another shooter with Curry being traded. Time to send him Gordon for Maxey and Thybulle.

He 100% won this trade. Any LeBron-less team where Kyrie Irving is a core component is doomed to fail. Easy money for Morey.CoachRTM said:

I like embiid and harden together
Out of total ignorance, how does Embiid do on the pick and roll? I know Harden loves iso ball, but P&R will have to be a big part of the strategy.

He's great because his jumper range extends to the three-point line. He can roll, stay put, space out, drop back, all of it. The most offensively gifted big in the league and it's honestly not even close.Bulldog73 said:YNWA_AG said:zooguy96 said:

Schroder is on a $5.9 mil expiring deal. Theis signed a 4 yr deal (4th year player option for roughly $9 mil per season https://t.co/2YOjlDyPmW

Houston gets Enes Freedom and Bruno Fernando in the deal too, sources tell ESPN.

Who else is involved to make the money work?
Seems like he should be bought out, doesn't make much sense on this team.

I think Schroder and Enes both get bought out. Was hoping to see Gordon move at the buzzerAggie09Derek said:

Thank Buddha. Didn't want Enes here.
So the Rockets exited the NBA Trade Deadline with both Eric Gordon and Christian Wood still on the roster, no additional draft picks or young players, and ended with an admission that their big offseason signing was a mistake.

On the bright side the Nets are down a superstar, so those picks are looking better and better.
A few more moves....

How the hell do you not move eric Gordon?

Guess no takers
If you think the Nets won the trade, you have to believe in Simmons. That's fair. Outside of that they gave up nothing for James Harden. A guy who peaked as the 3rd or 4th best player in the league. And a clear top 10 player in the league for a decade when healthy.

We have time. He becomes even more attractive next year as an expiring contract.
Folks (Rockets Twitter) need to relax a bit. Yeah I wish some big stuff had happened too, but Wood, Wall, and Gordon are all still under contract after this year. We have the ability to slow play this. Stone has earned the right to some trust.

This may be the most level headed take I've ever seen from you. I was ready to cliff jump this afternoon but I think you might be right. We won't be winning next year whether we trade these guys or not so pushing the incoming assets back a year may not be a big deal.HotardRat said:shano0603 said:

If you didn't watch LeBron and KD pick their All-Star teams, it's an absolute MUST. Start watching at the 10 minute mark and you'll hear Barkley start laughing when he realizes that both guys are purposely not picking Harden.
Barkley continues to destroy Harden indirectly, and the whole studio is on the joke that Harden is getting frozen out, as are James and Durant. Really funny stuff.

I've been telling you guys this for years
Harden is definitely regretting leaving Houston
Reminds me of some classic Chicago lyrics:
Reminds me of some classic Chicago lyrics:
Quote:
"I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what you got until it's gone
And I found out a little too late
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone, and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared"

I have pretty thick skin, but if I got roasted on national TV by two of the 10 players of all-time while I'm still in my prime and the entire TNT crew (ERNIE INCLUDED) is laughing at me...I think I would retire on the spot.helloimustbegoing said:

Around the same time, the Nets started losing games. Harden had seemed off all season both during games and with his comments after them and was growing frustrated with the situation in Brooklyn. He wanted everything catered to him the way it was in Houston, especially the offense. Kevin Durant and head coach Steve Nash disagreed. Both wanted the Nets' offense to feature ball and player movement, and Harden, upon being rebuffed, ducked into his shell at times, according to sources, and even criticized teammates and coaches to NBA insiders sitting courtside at games.Quote:
"With James, if you're not 100 percent on his side, you're his enemy," a former Rockets staffer said.
He is such a child.

NBA source: Rockets agreed to a four-year contract with point guard Daishen Nix (6-4/230). Widely considered the best prospect in the G League with remarkable numbers at RGV for a player who just turned 20 yesterday.

...and then promptly gave Dennis Schroder 18 minutes.
I'm not sure I understand the strategy of playing a mediocre veteran on an expiring deal over the rookies you are trying to develop.

Agree. Seems like would be a buyout candidate no?
Definitely. Should have done it immediately like Enes Freedom.Aggie09Derek said:AG@RICE said:

I think the FO is over thinking this one. Maybe they are interested in a "veteran" presence, but I'm not sure Schroder is the guy they want mentoring the kids.
As Nets personnel faced their growing James Harden reality, Kevin Durant’s approval of the trade mattered more than most.
