    Big names are getting moved and our Conference rivals are getting stronger while we trade draft picks to save Tilman money. @Carl Herrera

    This is what Daryl Morey meant when he said he was confident he can make a trade this deadline.

    I think we may be overrating Green a little. Memphis has sucked this year and their record was pretty legit when he was injured early. Not saying it’s his fault but he can’t be that good.

    If he came here he’ll hit a couple threes in his first few games, but then taper off and we’ll go into the summer without a draft pick again.

    It's still essentially moving Anderson's remains.

    I hope its not a pure salary dump. If we attach a first round pick just for that then its brutal

    Green and Temple are the obvious choices.

    Either way, if we’re able to convert Knight into playable player(s) it’s hard not to argue that’s a win for us.

    most likely for green and temple.

    this might cost a pick or more (1 to move knight and the other for green).

    if we could flip temple with hart or a SRP to the kings who are looking for wing help we could actually get under the LT this year.

    Anything to get Ennis of my screen. Man he fooled me earlier this season that he looked decent.

    Zero percentage chance they trade a first to “get rid of Knight”

    Maybe he is confident that we can get Wesley Matthews and Deandre Jordan after they get bought out.

    Jamychal Green and Garrett Temple for Knight and a pick would be fantastic. Provided those guys don't eat into James Ennis's minutes.

    • JaMychal Green, Justin Holiday, and Garrett Temple are all available, per league sources. They could be possible targets for Houston. The Grizz would surely like to recoup at least one of the second-rounders they flipped for Holiday.

    • Houston will peddle future first-round picks attached to Marquese Chriss and Brandon Knight until the buzzer. The league may be devaluing Houston's future first-rounders -- Chris Paul is 33 and hurt all the time -- but the Rockets would surely push to slap lottery protection on picks stretching beyond James Harden's prime.

    Houston has discussed sending Knight and a pick for Alec Burks, but those talks have quieted, sources say. They will also monitor the buyout market. Houston still has about $3.9 million of its taxpayer midlevel exception to spend, giving the Rockets a potential leg there.
