[ESPN] Grading the trade deadline: Rockets

morris wasn't a late 1st rounder. I didn't even like the guy but sheesh.

 

it's funny how PHX and SAC got so many former rockets on their teams now.

 

I don't see how picking up a carbon copy of a player you already have is considered an "A" for the Suns....

 

31 is a gud pick...........no garunteed $$

 

no but he is a mediocre role player. l2read

 

All PHX gave up was a second rounder for Morris. Morris "still could" turn into a starter in this league. Second rounders have a lot to prove. I'd easily say PHX did good yesterday.

 

They gave up a 2nd rounder for a guy they already have on their roster....

 

Grading these trades is so arbitrary, according to the goals the writers tend to focus on most.

I agree with Bill Simmmons. This trade was a slam dunk for Morey. Basing a trade grade on player values alone is meaningless. You have to look at how the trade furthers a team's overall goals. The Rockets lost a little in for the short term, but gained a ridiculous amount of value (relative to what was given up) toward their goal of building a contender. The benefits cover so many facets. How can you grade this less than an A?

 

I really think Honeycutt can be a solid role player for us if we decide to keep him. He's long, athletic, and young so he still has a lot of time to mature his game

 

we should get an A+, were the hottest team in the NbA now..

 

lol hell yea

 

Why does phoenix get an A? markeef and marcus are literally the same player.
