    What would it take for the Rockets to give up on Amen? Seriously.

    way more than we are probably willing to give.... they dont have bad contracts other than the ones they just signed so unless dillon brooks turns into more of a terrible human or fred gets a career injury i dont think they are wanting to move their newest pick.

    I would love to snap up Jabari Smith Jr. or Amen Thompson from the Rockets. I wonder if they would have any interest in Simons or Grant, or both? Sure I know they got FVV and Brooks(lol). I legit think Simons is better than either of them, and younger than FVV. I also like Eason. Would love to get any of those guys for Grant or Simons.

    I was kind of being facetious with that question because I know there’s no way they give him up right now lol. But I with you, the Rockets are like the Raptors to me, a ton of talented forwards, any of them I’d love on the Blazers.

    I do think Ant and Shae and both be 24+ppg guys in the same season. That’s when I could see Ant being worth any of their young forwards. I don’t see the Rockets even thinking about Grant with Jabari already on the roster. A Grant for Allen trade really does make sense eventually though, is there a team that would be interested in Allen and willing to give up players of interest to Houston?

    Scoot + Ant + Shae + Amen + DA
    Scoot + Ant + Shae + JSJ + DA
    Scoot + Shae + Buzelis + JSJ + DA
    Scoot + Shae + Amen + Buzelis + DA
    Ant + Shae + Amen + Camara + DA
    Amen + Ant + Shae + Sarr + DA
    Amen + Shae + Holland + Camara + DA

    These aren’t potential starting lineups, just potentially really interesting lineups at any point in a game next year depending on who we could nab from the Rockets and who we draft. Amen needs to be rescued, for sure.

    Rookie of the Year is Over. Wemby 38 and 10 to lead the Suns to victory including being clutch in the 4th. That as a 19 year old in his 6th NBA game!

    You must be high... Spurs win, and Wemby shut down Nurk.

    I really do as well. With good luck, we can draft Sarr and just start him day 1 and go through the growing pains. It really sucks Amen isn’t getting any chance to develop, while Ausar is out here with all the opportunity in the world.

    Guarantee that Scoot won’t drop 30, or 20, or even 10 tomorrow.

    Yeah. That was the beauty of the sarcasm. It was already out there he wasn’t playing and I wanted to poke at the “Scoot is a bust” crowd.

    just like Scoot he sprained his ankle. I believe he played 20 minutes of the game before he was injured. He will get his chance to develop
