That's what we do. Analyze and predict with the information available. He's the perfect piece to complete this Rockets puzzle. I think Brooks will be seeing less and less playing time in lieu of Yung Curry.
What i like about the houston rockets is that they really drafted many good players made some agressive moves, drafts and trades. If Reed Sheppard can develop into a great player but he is not yet at curry's level or even a superstar. If the Rockets are planning to trade for superstars they need to be strategic on these trades.
Your out of the mind if you think Suns are trading Book, Suns owner Matt Ishbia already has already said he's the franchise and has no interest in trading him , so don't count on it
@@screech517 back to back 40 point games on the road in the NBA Finals? 4 time All-Star, All NBA First Team, Western Conference Finals MVP, was the best player on a 64 win Team, 28 years old, had the best playoff run in NBA history when it comes to the nunvers alone in 2023. Do you need more?
Cant send two players in a trade cause of the tax apron with the Greyson trade they’d probably trade Greyson but Book wants to stay in Phoenix and Phoenix wants Book no matter what happens
thank you. everyone’s clowning you in the comments but this is literally our exact plan if jalen doesn’t work out. it all depends on him next season, if he plays consistent and we get better we can just use those picks to draft cheap good role players
No one is giving up that much anymore in the new cba. Any team that would give up that many young player's and picks is insane. No one player is worth that. Let them grow together and sign in FA. That Gobert bs trade was a joke and sure wouldn't set the foundation for any trade I'd be making as a GM for sure.
Booker is good, but idk about him. If i were the Rockets, i would trade Green to the Pelicans for Brandon Ingram, he was an all-star, his role being reduced. I think him coming to the Rockets and would fit right in. He is a scorer, and a lot more efficient than Green. that would give Rockets 3 main players that have playoff experience in Van Fleet, Brooks, and Ingram.
6 firsts is pre this cba. No way someone gives up picks like that now. Cost controlled players are paramount now and when your team gets good u need firsts cuz you cant fill out that team any other way. The only way a team gices up firsts like that is ifnthey are the celtics with everyone aigned the next 2 to 3 yrs and are going for it and maxing out Or Someone like the thunder who kinda are in same boat but with everyone locked up and just a million extra first that they cant possibly roster.
The Rockets do not have a better offer than the Spurs. That’s ridiculous! Spurs have all their own picks, and multiple other teams picks every year until 2031, including the Hawks picks. Sheer volume of picks they have easily outrank the Rockets.
Booker hate once again. 2023-only player to avg 36 pts on 60-50-87 shooting splits in the playoffs including 2 games of 40 +pts on 80% shooting. -As a gold medalist, led USA in plus minus, 2nd in assists, 60% shooting from the field, near 60% shooting from 3, played amazing defense -in every playoffs, avg's a consistent true shooting % of 62%. He's as elite as they come.
Fred VanVleet is important to the Rockets in teaching Reed, Jalen, Amen. Fred I don't think is going anywhere, Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore are improving.
This is interesting. The Rockets hit every pick except none of the first 3 picks have recieved a rookie extension. Not Green or Sengun. Then is Smith Jr going to get one. I think this video overstates the success of these draft picks. Green was in trade rumors last year and has Smith Jr lived up to number 3. Good to solid players but not one is a star in the making. Reed will be a solid starting guard but does he have star potential. Don't think so. Where I do agree is the Rockets do have the ammunition to go get Booker but it's never that easy ask Utah or the Thunder who have picks and assets and still haven't made the big move yet.
Sengun is going to be an all star this year probably and would have been an all star if he was in the east last year: Paolo banchero(All star) 23/7/5 on 53% TS Sengun 21/9/5 on 59% TS. So by definition he’s provsbly a “star” level player maybe not all nba though. But the reason none of their picks have been extended is because first of all Jabari is not eligible for one and they are waiting for green and Sengun like how Philadelphia waited for Tyrese Maxey last off season when he was elegible for an extension. Cap flexibility
@@Truthtella dude did u read the last part I said, did u watch the video? The sixers didn’t give Maxey the extension last offseason when he was eligible so they could have max cap flexibility next offseason. R u being dense?
The Ringer article about the Rockets said the same thing. Casey even used the exact words about acquiring Devin Booker - a "longer runway". Nice presentation nonetheless.
D Book is the most popular athlete in all of AZ, it would have to get really bad and him request to leave for the suns to deal him. He didn’t even leave or complain when we sucked his first 5 years
If the Rockets make the mistake of thinking Booker is a franchise player, their failure will be on them. Booker is a super talented scorer, but he's not THAT GUY.
