I'm gonna guess that option isn't getting picked up
So what did we get for gordan other than wall?

Wall was just talking trash about Rockets
Zero chance he steps foot in the building IMO

The script writers deserve an Emmy for this season
Yep. The takeback option vested.Guitarsoup said:Wait, Wall and Russ were traded for each other before? There was gonna be takebacks?Head Ninja In Charge said:
There's was talk about trading John Wall for Russ last year, right? For the same reason? I think it would be a complete disaster. Russ is his best version when he's allowed to be Russ (IE, let him do whatever he wants on the court and take the good with the bad). But we're already doing that with Jalen to grow him so having Russ reintroduced would be self-sabotage.
Sounds like he decided that getting paid to chill out in Miami and come out and say hi to us on our occasional road trip there beats having to work for your money.WES2006AG said:Time to welcome back an all time Rockets great who really left it all on the floor the first go round.YNWA_AG said:The Houston Rockets are acquiring John Wall in three-team deal with the Grizzlies and Clippers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Now they are just making up names to be the first to report *****Harry Dunne said:
2:02 p.m. ET: The Atlanta Hawks are trading Justin Holiday and Frank Kaminsky to the Houston Rockets for Garrison Mathews and Bruno Fernando, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Hawks will send the Rockets two second-round picks as part of the deal.
2:42 p.m. ET: The Philadelpha 76ers are trading Danuel House and A Large Bag of Dicks to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green and Chrystal the Stripper for Dreams, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Sixers will send the Rockets eleven second-round picks as part of the deal.
Why did the Warriors trade former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman for five second-round picks?

It saved them $131,000,000, per @johnhollinger.https://t.co/kzWpHu7d4T pic.twitter.com/NEPze5k6YB
So the Gordon deal comes with a pick swap option between the Bucks and Clippers 1st rounders
Nice move. Drops that pick about 10 spots
So, what is a better return on Eric Gordon? A late (maybe very late) first they could have had last year or a move up from late to middle of the first round? Would think given how many recent firsts on the team, better with a move up than an extra. https://t.co/iyjEbc220Q

I like how a "large bag of dicks" links to Garrison Mathew's bio and "Chrystal the stripper" links to Bruno Fernandez....seems apt.
Didn't that earlier offer come with having to take on a non-expiring contract?
Freeing up minutes, not absorbing any future baggage and sending a loyal franchise guy to a good destination sounds like a W to me.

What a way to lose

The amazing part was with 0.7 sec they scored the basket and left 0.3 on the clock.
Stephen Silas subbed Daishen Nix in specifically to defend on the last play of the game and Nix blew his coverage and gave up a buzzer-beating alley-oop dunk.

Coaching incompetence or tanking masterclass?
Nix is so bad. He looks like a guy you would pick up for a ymca game. But was green supposed to switch on that play?

Watch Nix the whole time. He's not even looking at Butler. I don't know who he's guarding. The guy he's looking at is guarded and way outside the 3 point line.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Silas said that he told everyone to stay at home on their man and to not switch anything. I'd rather get blown out than to lose the way we lost the past two.

Tate looks right at Nix and gives him a "wtf man."
Nix was clueless on this play.
You can't blame that play on Nix alone. First, its ridiculous that Silas subbed him in at that point over Christopher who is a much better defender. Second, Tate actually made the biggest screw up on the play.
At the start of the play, Caleb Martin fakes a screen for Bam and Nix completely loses him (possibly trying to switch with KJM). It was a massive mistake, but not the worst on the play. After Nix gets lost, Caleb Martin runs past Jimmy Butler, who is supposed to be guarded by Tate. Tate responds by guarding neither player. He doesn't really pick up Martin, nor does he follow Butler. He just stands there and then blames Nix. If Tate follows Butler, Martin gets a wide open deep 3 with barely any time...a much better outcome.
Silas told them not to switch on the play. Both Nix and Tate completely ignored that message.
Garbage defense. Garbage coaching. Garbage team.

Wow, Spurs are coming on strong for that lotto pic. 12 straight losses. It's Duncan 2.0.
