    I have zero interest.

    He is past his prime.

    We have numerous guards better than him.

    I question his competitiveness because he never wanted to play the best in the world.

    Cool story if google ever features his Rockets stats, even better if he does well, but our championship hopes shouldn't be affected by him.

    Forget Llull already Daryl!!!!

    Sign 6'11 Anthony Randolph and 7'3 Edy Tavares instead. They play positions of need AND are more productive.

    I'm still interested in Malick Badiane, a.k.a. the Bad Man.

    6'8 small forward? Bruh Llull is a 6'2 pg. The time to come over was 10 years ago when he was 22.

    He is already 32 now will be 33 next year. I don't care what he wants or if he hasn't closed the door the NBA has all but closed its door on him. Guard is our deepest position Harden, WB, EG, Rivers and Clemons all play pg. Even if he was willing to come over at a vet min he wont get playing time.

    Pablo wasn't half bad .... dude was a solid shooter , good defender and very seldom made errors.

    I'd take a couple of those guys at the end of the bench.

    I'd trade his rights .... cause Clemons slammed the door shut.

    Don't think there's a team in the league as deep at the guard spots as the Rockets .... They have an embarrassment of riches.

    Yeah but Llull is a 32 yr old pg who wants more than the min cuz he is making cash overseas, his current salary is 2.2M Euros so highly unlikely he will leave his comfort zone and play for 200k usd or w/e the league minimum is.

    So an NBA needs to give up assets to get him then they need to pay him more to entice him to come over and he will be 33 next year already, thats not a tempting proposition. I looked at his career and he tore his ACL 2 years ago so I dunno how long his quickness will last as well.

    And then you have to take into account so many good pgs in the NBA now and many more prospects in the Gleague just waiting for an opportunity. I can't think of a team that will trade for his rights.

    Look Daryl we get it ,

    He was a good pick OK ? Second rounder and ended up being pretty good in Europe.

    Not a bust

    Give it up tho lol

    I’m old enough to remember when we were debating if Lull was good enough to take minutes away from Moochie Norris.

    I didn't say he would have much value ... but something is better than nothing.

    Think about it , the asset cupboard is pretty bare right now with all the assets used to duck the tax the last three seasons (Not once have they spent the entire MLE during that span). We can use all the assets we can get to find some help at the 4 spot.

    Yeah I know we need assets but I'm saying consider it from the other team's perspective just cuz you need assets doesnt mean other teams will give them to you. They'd only trade cash considerations for him if at that. They don't even know if he is gonna come to the NBA to begin with.

    I think his trade value is pretty much zero at this point.
