I'll repost what I said in NBA observations. I still don't know why this is news today. This has been reported before.


That's a bad offer for Brooklyn though (this has been known for a while now)
Trading Mikal Bridges is something they should have done.
All this package does is allow them to be garbage for a long time because nothing good comes of this. This is a "let us tank in silence" trade.
There's 2 teams that woulda been way better for the Nets to accept dealing Bridges:
Memphis they coulda got GG, Ziaire and 2-3 1's.
OKC (and I've told Nets fans on here this): The #1 guy I woulda been trying to get is Cason Wallace along with a bunch of picks. They woulda thrown in Giddey just to avoid any more headaches.
The negatives to the Houston offer is this:
This year's draft is garbage, and even if you think Jalen Green is Pinoy Kobe, now he's extension eligible. You're gonna offer him a max deal to go back to ground zero of a rebuild when you've already seen how he plays in those situations? Whatever he learned in the last month would all go away, only now there's no Sengun to pivot to and no PG to pass him the rock.
A month ago the NBA world was too busy dikkriding Cam Whitmore (who is a bench player at best) and considering Green as worse than Sengun, worse than Cam, worse than Tari, worse than Bari, and maybe even worse than Amen.

Based off recent data, do you still agree with that? I would take Jalen and own picks back over those other offers. Also do you still agree with those takes about Jalen? He's not worse than Jabari or Cam. He's not reliant on Sengun either and he slows down Jalen's game.

That's not what was being said as late as a month ago.

Rockets go on a nice run against mostly shyt comp and now Jalen Green is back to "build around him" status? The Nets wouldn't even be paying him because they believe in him so much and he can be one of the league's great players. Nobody believes that. They'd be paying him because what the fukk else are they gonna do? At least on the Rockets, they can dare him to keep playing this way and then match whatever the market bears. If you're cornered into having to pay someone a max deal, that's not a plan. a maxed out Jalen Green and a rookie Dalton Knecht or Reed Sheppard is not a plan. Throw in Clowney and Whitehead and that core maybe finishes 2nd in the Big East unless you wanna pay Claxton $18-20 mil on top of this.

Like I said there, what's gonna happen to Jalen if he gets a max deal on a shyt team with not much help coming? "Hey Jalen remember all the stupid shyt you did when the Rockets weren't shyt. Do that in Brooklyn. What are we gonna do? Not pay you?" The picks are gone. It would be like Houston offering up Sengun for THEIR picks back. They're gone. Losing Tari Eason in the Harden trade is worse than anything that can happen this year. Only reason why fans are so mad about the losing itself is because they can't go on Tankathon and see who's out there, but if they did they'd know there ain't shyt there anyway.

Bridges is a solid 3 on a championship team. What is Green? Green is potential. This little month run, he has blossomed but is it sustainable?

I have stock in Ime. I think he can keep Green in line, but what do you do with Sengun?

I don’t envy the Rockets GM. A max Green can make or break your next 5 years. In the NBA, there are very few untradable contracts. If Green goes to shyt, what do you do next?

Bridges is a known asset.

They're forcing Bridges into the #1 guy role because he's a "character guy."
They’re legit traumatized by

its not about the player they get for bridges, its about recognizing bridges at the #1 guy is a waste of everyone's time and they need all the picks they can get to start a real rebuild


mikal is not that guy and they needed to sell high
I agree with this

If Green becomes a star, that’s a bonus, but not the intent.
