Texansfan713 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 12 minutes ago, Pastor Dillon said: heres the deal, these picks are not worthless....3 1sts from the nets and 4 pick swaps. That means we have 7 years for the nets to suck and for us to get those picks. Harden and Durant will be long gone before we get to some of that stuff....We could end up with some really good picks unless they are protected heavily. I would rather have levert than Victor...this is clearly a "clear cap space and tank" move. The rockets own their own picks in 2022 and 2023, so it makes sense to get really bad for 2 years. Levert makes 17.5 million next year and Oladipo is a free agent. pick swaps arent picks. at best we will be keeping our 1st round picks in the swaps. the 1sts will be in the late 20's. our only hope is it the later picks turn into a kd/pierce to the nets type situation.

Our GM is trash until proven otherwise. All he does is trade and sign bigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummond maybe but he makes a lot so getting salaries to match will be an issue. People definitely want Love, he's still an accomplished shooter, I just can't imagine anyone giving up much for him at this point with his broken down body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensTillIDie Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Honestly though, I think Pacers are lowkey the biggest winners here. My love for Levert is obvious, but I think he could be the piece that really helps propel the Pacers to the next level - assuming Lamb, Warren & Bitadze can come back healthy this season.

J-ALL-DAY Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 So which big gets bought out that the Nets target later in the season? 3 minutes ago, sdrawkcab321 said: I can’t believe we just snuck in there and stole Allen. The 2nd best player in that trade for nothing. Hell of a pick up man. Drummond doesn't need to be re-signed and you guys continue to build your young core.

Sure I agree it would have been better, point was that Philly didn't want to give up Simmons and their 2 best "prospects" and draft capital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummond will be appealing to a team looking to clear up cap room to pursue a top tier free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they start him over McGee in the 5.5 lineup they were running lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it would take playoff series win for the rockets to resign him. i think the rockets can get in that 7-10 play in games, but no way they win a series.

Pastor Dillon Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I really like Allen, wish the rockets had gotten him, but it seems like every year we expect him to take a jump and he doesnt seem to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those three alone with a pick could have likely gotten this done. Not sure the thinking behind this for Houston. Oh well, trade Tucker to the Warriors now you cowards!

Now, that's not to say I couldn't envision a scenario where Houston gives him an offer, but will he take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
