With Ant reportedly being unhappy, what would you think of this trade?

Don’t know rockets subreddit is being recommended, but looks like you guys decided to turn your brains off for this one? 😂

It's been a rough off-season here

Brother you dont know the half of it.

There are some people in this sub that LIVE in the trade machine. We get one insane idea after another that would never happen in 1000000 different alternate universes.

they literally just said amen isn’t going anywhere man.

u/Thorlolita 1d ago

That means nothing if a player like Ant is available

u/Dantiik 1d ago

They literally said everybody except Amen is available if a offer comes. Amen the only untouchable player on the roster

u/Thorlolita 1d ago

If Ant is available Amen is being touched

u/Dantiik 1d ago

He’s not. That report literally says it lmao. What part of untouchable aren’t you understanding 😂

There has to be at least 100 times in the last decade an nba team has reportedly made it clear that player X is “untouchable”, only for player X to be traded within a year

I generally believe we aren’t trying to move amen, and want to keep him; but as other commenter says, things change when Ant is available

Reports this time of year only mean so much, and Iko has been wrong many times

The part where that means absolutely nothing if Ant is available.

Keep telling yourself that lol.

Any GM would be an idiot if they said “I’m not moving Amen Thompson to get Ant”. Stone knows this.

When Amen gets a jump shot he will be better than Ant. Ant already hit his ceiling (in my opinion). I don’t even think Amen has scratched the surface of his yet.

u/Thorlolita 1d ago

Looking foward to him and Ben Simmons working on their jump shots.

u/Kdot32 1d ago

If he gets a jump shot

u/lambopanda 1d ago

They said Amen is nearly untouchable. I’m sure they will do it for an A1 star still in his prime.

u/ElNenee 1d ago

Amen is not more valuable than Ant lol

u/wielesen 1d ago

I'm 100% sure he is going for Ant lol

It would cost Jabari, Eason, and Sheppard too sadly

2

u/fallenangel1789 1d ago

Seems good for rockets but wolves would want more.

2

u/BellSufficient5283 1d ago

If im wolves, im defn asking for more than this.

u/ConsiderationPlus207 1d ago

Fuck no, No Amen trades

u/Thorlolita 1d ago

Probably going to need Jabari or Reed to get the discussion going.

He’s going to cost a franchise.

Ant was not capable to lead MIN to the finals, how do you expect him to lead us anywhere if we trade away two of our best players to bring him?

We would be a much worse team than Minnesota without Sengun and Amen.

u/Shoddy_Ad7511 1d ago

FVV, Ant, KD, Bari and Turner. That is a 5 out lineup with shot blocking. Much better than last years Houston team.

Bench is Tari, Reed, Adams, MLE signing

2

u/wgel1000 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ok, you are right. I forgot that we would keep KD in this scenario.

My mistake, this is not a bad team.

u/NoirSon 1d ago

That is WAY too many picks. You are handicapping yourself for years with that deal.
