Should be 3 bkn picks & 3 swaps

2022 Bucks first
So 4 picks most likely, all in the 20's
Not really that impressive of a return. But I'm not sure what you could do about it as the Rockets.

Harden and Durant are reaching the ends of their primes and KD’s coming off an Achilles injury. Some of those later year picks could be really really high.

I don’t think that’s the right trade for the Rockets but this is good news for the Kings as Rockets with be a factor for awhile. Maybe Ben was never on the table to begin with.
This is one that could look a lot different between 25-27 then it looks today. Which is why I wanted no business with a Harden trade, beside the fact that I effing hate that guy.

Wait till Kyrie emplodes the Nets. They may get 3 top 5 picks out of it.

It’s an easy yes for the Nets. They have a 2-3 year window for a title and then they can trade Irving, Harden and or Durant for a bunch of picks

KD and Harden will probably be too old to flip for much by that point.

I still think Beal for Wiseman, wiggins and that Wolves pick makes a ton of sense for both teams

Considering we just saw Harden go for an all-star and a total of 8 first round picks of some sort, that probably won’t be enough.

could be but their games probably translate well as they age. I’d assume Irving gets moved first if he doesn’t retire

All it takes is one stupid. New Jersey was first, whose second.
Also, has anyone noticed that Cleveland's frontcourt rotation now features:
Andre Drummond
Jarrett Allen
JaVale McGee
Larry Nance, Jr.
Four bigs who can't shoot threes, in 2021?

Cavs gotta be moving Drummond though right? They still have Kevin Love on the roster eating cap room too

haha almost forgot about the 2 first round pick swaps Vlade sent..... he's the worst GM in history, nothing can change that.
But back to this haul, this is incredible for both sides imo. It's a great haul for the Rockets who will probably blow it up and rebuild? Picks are very valuable in this league. I think the Simmons deal would've been better, but maybe Philly wasn't willing to give that up? If the Nets can win a ring in the next 3 years, it'll be worth it. NBA championships are extremely hard to come by. If you can get a top 5 player, you go and get him. I think they should trade Kyrie.. he's a huge distraction. Harden-KD are already good enough.

Guess the Nets didn't trust that Kyrie was going to be enough of a problem. Had to go ahead and add Harden to ensure maximum combustability.
