I think at this point, just about every team is exploring deals to move up in the draft. Rockets really don't have anything to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would cost more? In a vacuum Kawhi is the most valuable. But with his injury history, his expiring contract, and the situation where he is forcing his way out it lowers his value.

Kawhi is coming off a major injury, his contract is set to expire, and has pretty much said the only teams he'll sign long-term with is one of the Los Angeles teams. Bamba clearly is the inferior player, but you're getting him for at a bare minimum 5 years and doesn't come with injury concerns. I'd argue that Bamba costs more than Kawhi given all of those.

RandyMossIsBoss Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 This Kawhi situation is wild. Who would have ever pegged him as such a diva? LA might as well wait on Lebron, if he comes over then you move assets to get Kawhi now, otherwise just wait until he hits FA next season and comes over. I will never understand players' fascination with LA or NY in a capped league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, all it had to do was his teammates keep his mouth shut, and this wasn't an issue. I have to say, I'm with Kawhi on this one regardless of his demand to be traded.

I have to say, I'm with Kawhi on this one regardless of his demand to be traded. Alternatively, he completely turned his back on his own teammates. We still don't know the details of the situation, and maybe we never will. If the doctors on your team cleared your central player, but he refused to play, how are you suppose to interpret that? However, if that is how it went down, I wouldn't blame Kawhi for being mad either, since you obviously want your teammates to trust you. Regardless, the diva comment is more about how he is now only willing to sign with 1 team, and for what I can only assume is because he wants the large spotlight that place provides (why else would it be LA? It's not like they've already acquired Lebron and PG). This completely screws SA in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in a few years when CP3's new deal becomes an albatross. Seriously, I can't even begin to say how much the Rockets are going to kick themselves if they hand him that 5 year extension.
