He is
Phoenix don't leave Booker so we go with Fox
Stones obsession with green needs to be studied
can we get both, pls?
made this trade:
Rockets get Jimmy Butler, Terry Rosier and filler
Heats get Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brook, Jabari Smith Jr.
the salary going out and back work out well
Another
Rockets get Dorian Finney-Smith
Nets get Jae'Sean Tate, Cam Whitmore
not enough minutes for those two but gets back 3 and D player
Booker the better player and he would be my choice but Fox would be the better fit chemistry wise mostly because since he has played with Sabonis he would know how to play with Sengun.
Unless Booker asks out which he could if the Suns gets bounce out the first round. Then I don’t see the Suns trading him.
Fox is the most realistic option we all know he turned down the extension from the kings. We all know he wants a huge extension probably about 300 Million. If the Kings don’t pay up I could see Fox asking out and going to the rockets makes sense because he grew up mostly in Houston.
So in my opinion Booker the better player and I think a lot of fans would choose him but Fox would be the most realistic option
We only here because we didn’t get harden
Press it button to like guys
Support that guy grow !! We need to him info about rocket
I actually love a Booker for JG + Picks (maybe one other rotational player). It would be a win-win for everyone. Booker comes and Sengun gets the shooter he needs to be successful and Booker isn't a high pace guy. JG goes where he's wanted and maybe gets mentored by a vet in KD that's actually an all-star level talent (sorry Fred, that ain't you) and also JG probably gets to have the offense run through him in the games where KD is out (which, let's be honest, is a lot of games). They aren't going to win necessarily, but they won't be worse than 1-9 without KD. I think it could work out great for everyone, but Jackson would have to figure out how to run a pod without blaming Jalen for everything 🙂
Booker is the better player but fox is younger and more realistic! Don't leave out Trae young to Houston rockets in a trade either
All start vote is opened guys !! Vote for our team so far ALPER SENGUN
Kevin Durant is so old and injury prone that I'm not giving up too much, but I'd like to have Fox and Durant along with the twins and Alperin as well as that Brooklin swap. I think we have plenty to offer. If not Durant will try for Dalton Knecht and Fox. We need shooting bad.
I'd rather prefer DB .
Bring tyler hero
I think Fox’s mentality would fit better with our culture
Bring Bogdan and a bigger PF
Neither, i want to keep J.G… wait for Amen to become the Star of the team and build around Amen, go get a stretch big
Fox is better defensively imo
If i got to choose it would be booker. He can take over games. Fox can too but not like booker.
My trade scenario:
Fox (34mil) and Huerter (16mil) for FFV (43mil), Cam or Reed Sheppard depending on Kings needs + expiring contracts and Nets 2027 first round pick swap.
Go Rockets!!!
