The Rockets are expected to give more minutes to Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard at point guard.

Thats just a textbook classic thing to say at first…next man up type of thing but zero chance they don’t try to trade for a starting PG and waste a year on a super short KD window.

I was thinking Van Vleet was much older than White, but I looked it up and they are both 31. The trade might work for both teams.

I think it would be a very questionable move for Boston to trade Derrick White. He’s an outstanding player on a value long-term contract.

And I haven’t quite figured out how the repeater tax works but based on what I’ve read this summer I think if Boston trades White ($28M) for FVV ($25M) then somehow they might save $50 million.

I’m all for getting White out of Boston…

Wake me up when OKC tears one.

The way things are going for us right now I’d put even money on SGA having a season-ending injury.

but I’m sure Stevens is not gonna let anyone off the hook with a fair trade.

Houston has plenty more picks to throw in but their GM is as much a shark as anyone. I don’t think he’s going to get fleeced by boy wonder.

I’m not crazy about the DeRozan comp because DeMar has always been a very high usage player (i.e more of a poor man’s first option) who took lots of 2’s and got to the line a ton, while being a sub-par defender but pretty good rebounder and passer.

Yeah Z-man legit points, I only brought up DeRozan because he and Bridges are anomalies in today’s NBA – guys who rely almost exclusively on midrange shots.

But if Mikal can get to the line more and hit a higher percentage of 3’s, he’d obviously be a much more useful player than DeRozan.

Like Jeff Van Gundy used to say: “the season doesn’t really start until every player tears a tendon.” Wake me up when OKC tears one.
