The good news for me is I can now openly be a fan of Houston again.

Wait a sec now. The trade still has not gone through officially. It is being held up by 1 player who has NOT passed a physical.

Allen, Prince, Exum, Harden, Kurucs all have passed this week. 

Only player not mentioned from the Nets trade? LaVert.

This got my thinking. Certainly it´s real, but if you are the Pacers why not fake it and be like sorry Nets, we can´t do the trade, maybe add another pick for our risk.

Apparently, the trade was held up ever so briefly because of LaVert's physical, but has since been finalized.

So maybe LeVert is even more damaged goods than I thought. Interesting.

Yeah, makes the Oladipo/LaVert swap even more clear, imo.

Both potentially good players, both significantly damaged, both fairly well compensated. 

Indiana is trying to be good, and it's no secret that Oladipo has been wanting to land in Miami for awhile. Whether Miami wants him or not is a different story, but it's clear he wasn't going to be in Indiana next season. THEY preferred the player with the longer term contract. 

Houston has no idea whether they can be good or not, and frankly, nobody running that organization right now has much experience doing their job, so their heads are all spinning, probably. All they DO know is that the owner wants/needs to pay much less for his roster in the near future. Seems like THEY preferred the player who is expiring at the end of this year.

Hopefully it isn't bad...

Wow hope he is okay. I am surprised the trade would go through but maybe they are still good with it since he is under contract for a couple of years.
