    I like him. He doesn't shoot well enough, but he could be a good fit at 6M for the Rockets.

    9 - Player trade.

    Hawks incoming : Waiters, Ellingtonn, Knight, 2nd Rounder from Houston, 1st from Miami.
    Rockets Incoming : K.BazeMore, James, Johnson, and Justise Winslow
    Miami Incoming : Jeremy Lin, Eric Gordon, and C.Anthony.

    Hawks get big expiring, and picks with some scorring vets to put around Trae Young,
    Rockets finally get 3-D Guys, and a Defensive type Powerforward they could use when Capela is sitting down.
    Heat get stronger with Gordon Starting next to Dragic and Whiteside w/Anthony. plus Lin who could provide the scoring they need when dragic is not on the floor.

    How the hell is Knight supposed to have any trade value if he isn’t playing at all!?

    I don't know why more people aren't talking about Robert Covington. If the Timberwolves are at the bottom of the West and things are looking bleak for them, would they be assholes again and just willingly not hear any offers from the Rockets. I'd give up a 1st for Covington for sure.

    I'd give 2 tbh. Hes a defensive stalwart and a perfect piece for our system at a great price.

    I would try to trade them gordon straight up for Covington as well.

    Maybe add a 2nd or cash or overseas player to entice them. Try to preach flexibility to them.

    Covington is good, but he is not as good as EG.

    You guys need to calm down about Rivers. lol Everyone here was getting hyped about Gary Clark a month ago too. Rivers doesn't give you nearly the same ceiling as Gordon does.

    Yes, Gordon is a big game player despite not being at his best. Rivers helps by taking some additional pressure off him.

    This year hes been absolutely better.

    This years Covington is damn great defensively and hes always been very good defensively but hes better now.

    Gordon's "potential ceiling" is higher I agree.

    But if you can significantly upgrade your 3 spot, even better than ariza, while replacing ego with a competent player I would do it.

    Believe me when I say I'm not gassing Rivers. Hes not gordon and he doesnt give you the ceiling gordon "theoretically" does.

    But he can fill that back up 1 and 2 guard role decently and provide some decent/ok bench scoring.

    So if you do move Gordon, you have a player that can fill the void.

    Cp3. ............. Cp3
    Harden. ............. Harden
    Covington. ............. Ennis
    Tucker. ............. Tucker
    Capela. ............. Capela

    Rivers. ............ Gordon

    IMO the first lineup is better

    Trade 1: Markieff Morris, Jeff Green for Nene, Chriss, Melo, MCW, two 2nd-round picks and cash (cash covers Nene's salary for next year)

    Trade 2: Knight, Clarke, a 1st-round and a 2nd-round pick for Demarre Carroll (1st rounder covers Knight's salary for next year)

    Starters: Paul, Harden, Carroll, Tucker, Capela
    Bench: Rivers, Gordon, G Green, J Green, Morris
    Deep bench: Hartelstein, Ennis, House
    2 empty roster spots for buyouts (a traditional C and a fifth guard)

    PJ, Caroll, Jeff Green and Morris give us 4 long forwards next to our guard trio, that could cause GSW trouble.

    Trade 2 will work, but that's too much for Carroll. He is more of a buyout type. I would never consider giving up a 1st for him.

    Trade 1 definitely will require a 1st rounder, perhaps even a lottery one. Both Jeff Green and Markieff are UFA's at the end of this season, so I would be reluctant to go that far. I'm glad you haven't added EG in this scenario. I would only reluctantly add him for Markieff and Tomas Satoransky.

    Addendum: EG would have to be part of a 3 way for Markieff and Tomas. A protected 1st would have to be added as a sweetner. I admit It will be hard to pull off.

    EG plus Ennis and a 2nd rounder to the Magic. Ross plus Clark and a top 20 protected 1st rounder to the Wizards and Markieff plus Tomas to the Rockets. It works on the ESPN trade machine apart from the picks that I added. @ApacheWarrior

    PS: I hated adding EG, but I'm looking for additional depth.

    I know Ainge wouldn't trade Jaylen Brown unless it's in a package for a superstar, but I'd love to come in and scoop him up while his market value is lower-than-usual. It would likely have to be as a 3rd team in a blockbuster deal (throw out the picks/filler that we were planning on purging in a proposed Butler deal).

    Brown has been off his game this year, but if you watch the Celtics, he's easily had to adjust his role the most since last year. I still think he has All-Star potential, and he's the type of SF that could not only address our Ariza-shaped hole right away, but give us a legit building block for the future (next to Harden/Capela).

    - 6'7" 230 with a 7'1" wingspan
    - Elite end-to-end athleticism with speed, explosiveness and a great first step
    - Ability to stay with and body-up 2/3/4 fairly easily
    - Was an excellent spot-up shooter last year (39.5%, 42.6% from the corners)
    - Big-game player who stepped it up in the playoffs
    - Intelligent guy who puts in the work

    Obviously he's not without flaws...His FT% hampers him a lot, and I think he sometimes doesn't attack the rim as hard as he should with his ability because of poor FT shooting. If he could get that up to the 75% range, I think he takes a huge step forward as an offensive player (provided he continues to improve his handle etc).

    Atlanta helps us and we help them...

    Bazemore and Dedmon
    For
    Gordon, Knight, (MCW or Chriss) & FRP

    Hawks are a miss pick up a pick,
    They have 3 rotation centers
    Gordon >\= Bazemore for 5mm less a season going forward.
    Gordon is having fun again
    ———
    Rox can afford to trade Gordon with the addition of Rivers
    Fills in the gaps at the 3 and backup big
    Cuts salary by 4.4mm; if we can get them to take Chriss instead of MCW saves us 6.1mm

    Picking up Dedmon lets us move Nene and gets us comfortably under the cap.
