    It's tricky.. Mirotic is one of those Ero whites with so much culture in his blood people mistake him for a non white. Mirotic is a true Caucasian.. Rocket may win 7 championships with him on the bench.

    Given that this season is cursed, Mirotic would immediately get injured upon us trading for him.

    Would be a great pickup. Have thought he'd be a great fit here for a while

    Do you get his bird rights if you trade for him?

    If you move Knight and a 1st for him, the first currently being pick #21, which might be the next Royce White or next Capela, you're freeing up cap space so assuming he's healthy and fits you better be able to resign him.

    I'm not super high on the Rockets actually having a shot to win a ring this year... so I'd hope any move would factor in your position next year.

    Well, since we are the Rockets and clearly the rest of the league is just here to **** with us, I bet Mirotic somehow ends up in OKC for a bag of chips and Nick Collison's used shoe.

    Knight for Mirotic is kind of fantasy idea.
    My best fantasy trade idea is
    Chris Paul + 4 Firsts for Steph Curry.
    Curry is the best fit for Harden. Curry can shoot when Harden has double team.
    joke.

    Mavs have 12.9 million TPE. Mavs can help to make the deal done.

    One of the worst defenders in the league and ridiculously injury prone, pass. We might as well get Jabari

    Mavs created a tear in the space time continuum with the most lopsided trade since James Harden for Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb.

    he's not a liability on defense and really effective on offense. very injury prone though.

    think ryno with the ability to block a shot and get a steal each game. may not be great 1-on-1 defensively but he's at least active and an above average rebounder. on offense, again think Ryno but with the ability to create for himself and score in more ways beyond the spot up 3.

    I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record but.....

    Don't have the assets.

    BigBum doesn't let his brain slow him down when he's on a trade-suggestion roll.

    A negative percent chance is probably more likely lol.
