Now this is very possible

Terry Rozier as the headliner of a trade for a top 6 pick....no

The 2019 SAC pick that your moron GM gave us is the headliner of a trade. You basically are asking a team to put off the lotto for one year, while picking up a starting guard, as well as another future lotto pick, and whatever else.

We are

I just hope we go after David Griffin or some other really respected candidate...if we promote Elton Brand to GM just cause he’s there and we don’t wanna go through an interview process I’m not gonna be very happy though.

Report: Chris Paul Has Already Begun Recruiting LeBron James to Houston

https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2018/05/29/houston-rockets-chris-paul-lebron-james-free-agency/

With the Rockets’ season over, talk now turns to their offseason, and more specifically their chances at landing LeBron James in free agency this summer. James has been linked to the Rockets for a while, and Chris Paul — a free agent himself this summer — is one of his closest friends. Unsurprisingly, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times in his indispensable NBA newsletter, Paul has already begun attempting to convince James to join the Rockets in July.

But the modern-day Warriors and Cavaliers, in a bloated league of 30 teams, trumped them all. Cleveland’s Game 7 triumph in Boston also came with the bonus of (hopefully) preventing speculation about LeBron’s free-agent future from completely swallowing up the actual championship series.

Don’t get me wrong: There will still be plenty of talk over the next two weeks about what James will do July 1 and the growing belief that he’ll be leaving his home-state Cavaliers this offseason to join a team better suited to consistently challenge Golden State. Rest assured that the Rockets’ understandably devastated Chris Paul — who made a fast exit from Toyota Center late Monday night after being forced to watch the biggest game of his life from the bench because of his hamstring injury — has already begun his recruitment of James to Houston.

To sign James outright, the Rockets will have to make some significant moves to clear cap space — they’d essentially have to shed everybody except Paul, James Harden and restricted free agent center Clint Capela. The more likely path to James joining Houston is a similar situation to Paul’s last summer, where he picked up his player option with the Clippers and engineered a trade to the Rockets. But James and the Cavaliers still have a Finals series against the Warriors to play before any of that is decided.

Julius and George going to sixers with LeBron. Am I doing it right? buc em ?

No because I’ve been saying for the past couple months I think PG is signing to the Lakers.

I Rather Have Kawhi As A Sixer Over PG If We Could Get A Trade Going For Him

 

[Moheezy]

Pleaaase make this true. Him getting fired would end off the week just right.

Sixers players already liking tweets calling him a fraud.

I Rather Have Kawhi As A Sixer Over PG If We Could Get A Trade Going For Him

Would you rather have Kawhi at the cost of trading major assets or PG as a pure off-season signing?

I Rather Have Kawhi As A Sixer Over PG If We Could Get A Trade Going For Him

I don’t think having to hire a new GM right now is going to hurt us with free agents this summer but I think it could hurt us with trades. I highly doubt a guy is going to come in and within literally like two weeks of being on the job pull off a major trade for a player like Kawhi unless we already had a handshake agreement with them before this happened.

 

[DLF]

No because I’ve been saying for the past couple months I think PG is signing to the Lakers.

Aww thanks

If we promote Elton Brand to GM just cause he’s there and we don’t wanna go through an interview process I’m not gonna be very happy though.

Wait...is that even a consideration?

It's a done deal

 

[sohi 23]

Yeah I'd bet he gets fired today

 

[buc em]

Wait...is that even a consideration?

No clue but if we were to stay in house then Marc Eversly and Elton Brand would probably be the top two candidates. I’m cool with keeping them in our organization but I don’t want either as our GM right now.
