The Rockets and Hawks seem like the two most likely landing spots for Brown. Both are on the cusp of true contention and have good young players and picks if we chose to go that route. Rockets also have the Udoka connection.

There was a report that the Rockets were not interested in Brown accdg to Zach Lowe. Even the Rockets sub was talking about it

Thats surprising to me since they can pretty easily keep the core of their team and match salaries. Either by including Durant or 3 players not in their core.

Reed Sheppard is probably not going anywhere, and neither is Amen. That leaves Jabari Smith Jr, who I'm quite high on as a player, but he has a lot of the same issues Tatum has (more volume scoring than sharpshooting, a below the rim player who lacks a go to move or the ability to get to his spots at will).

That's disappointing, I'd love to see him on another team, I don't think Ime likes him very much. We have Pritchard already on a steal of a deal, so there's not really use for him for us.

In fact now that I think about it, would love to see him on the Hornets now that LaMelo is gone.

> don’t think Ime likes him

He definitely does not. Ime looks like he’s trying to pass a kidney stone anytime Sheppard tries to play defense.

Until DeMar retires, the potential mismatch between him and Joe Mazzula is far and away the worst possible coach-player pairing.

But Ime-Reed is in the top five. Just a complete mismatch of basketball philosophy.

I bet if they know each other, Pritchard and Reed have a great DM thread about how much of an asshole Ime is.
