This is a very bad move for the Rockets unless it's just a move for stars so they can attract other stars to join then it may improve but for what Houston gave up and what they are getting back - they clearly lost the trade and the team will be worse.
Yeah, I don't think this trade makes Houston better than San Antonio and I'm not even sure who'll be on this Spurs team. Kawhi is that good. He's the best player in the league in my opinion. He makes those around him better, not one who leaves the Spurs is ever better.. I think The Spurs still win 67 games and are # 2 in the West, tied with The Celtics for the 3rd best team in the league. If you could combine Spurs and Celtics into one team with two coaches you'd have a top Celtics squad AND YOUR definite 2018 NBA Tittle winner ": Starting 5 IT, Kawhi Leonard, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford, Dewayne Dedman with a bench of Patty Mills, Marcus, Smart, Avery Bradly, Semi Ojeleye, Tatum, Zizic. With Pop and BS as co coaches... Just a crazy before bed thought. It'd be marvelous!
