The Rockets are not interested in breaking up their core for Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, sources tell @TheAthletic. Houston, sitting at 10-5 and a game out of first in the West, remains focused on developing its young players as a collective.
Sengun, Amen, Tari… I want them in Rockets jerseys forever
Fuck giannis
Smart, but if you can get Giannis at a discount you check for sure. And something tells me Tilman would be the deciding yes.
Giannis is dog shit anyways
Are they going to trade all the picks and Uncle Jeff, Jock, Tate, Brooks to match salary for Giannis then?
Wow. I’m so disappointed. All the reddit GM’s have me convinced that trading away our young core for Giannis made us instant title contenders. Why wait for our guys to fully develop when we could throw it all away? Fire Stone immediately
Giannis is a game changer, but dude has just been injured come playoff time. I don’t think it’s worth breaking up our core for him.

Thank God
You can keep ol fat heel.
My first reaction was, #”YES!”
My second reaction was, ^(“Oh shit… It’s Iko…”)
I really think the more people get to know giannis the more they are going to realize that personality-wise he is Dwight howard all over again and that fans, players, and the media will all find him annoying very soon. He’s a great player but I’m not a fan of his style of play and he’s hard to root for as a personality as well.
Thank goodness!
Good because as much as I respect his skill and accomplishments, I still hate him still because of the harden shit and him being a dirty pos
Based on the picks we own, I have a feeling Rockets will be chasing Booker in the future.
I believe they’ll keep this core together this season (unless something great comes up) and then evaluate who should stay.
If that’s the case, I do think this is a good strategy. Booker is not amazing but he’d definitely make this team better.
And if the Sun’s are desperate to tank we may get him “cheaper” by using their picks and a few other assets without giving up much of our young core.
I love this team.
I hope this is true. I know we aren’t contending this year but Giannis just doesn’t feel like the right move. Hopefully Sengun and Jalen can make a major leap before we have to settle for a 30 year old star.
That’s fair. Even if i was making a push for Giannis, I wouldn’t offer them the core except possibly Jabari since they play the same position.
The whole point was to get Giannis on clearance, not any of this “consolidation trade” bullcrap getting peddled by lazy pundits.
Super sad news for the Bucks
Allah hu Akbar
Im really happy that we are not chasing Cry Baby Freak. But also scared if we give some of our young core for someone shittier than him
I’m nodding so hard, my neck is gonna hurt tomorrow
Defining
All of you completely dismissing the idea of getting Giannis are absolutely nuts.
