    Eh that's not in your poll. If we get back the Bulls first rounder that is about to be top 5 ofcourse we should do it.
    Any other case, NOPE.

    Unless Jabari has a brain transplant he won't ever be a heck of a player. I don't care about the injuries his problem is his attitude. Do you know that instead of training in his offseasons he just plays pick up games with random people on outdoor cement courts in Chicago? That's why he shows up fat and out of shape and then gets ACLs.

    Yes, I think Gordon is better but Parker is younger with some upside.

    Plus Gordon is injury prone, we are playing with house money on that guy....

    Parker straight sucks now. Bucks Jabari is long dead. Most his talent went away with his ACLs. Also, he straight up said he has no interest in playing any defense even before playing a single game for the Bulls.

    Brandon Knight for Jabari Parker possibly. Not Gordon though. I would trade Gordon for someone like Otto Porter or do a package deal for Vucevic and Simmons.

    You think the bulls would send there 1st for Gordon lol? I was thinking more like Hawks would bite on Knights contract in three team trade and send us one of there picks that might fall out of top 10 because they already got 2 that would be like #3 and #7, doubt they get all 3 in there.

    Nope =)
    I don't want JP in this team.

    Enough is enough.
    First MCW then Knight then Jabari? Every player I have hated for the last seasons will end up here!?

    For all the guys saying Gordon is injury prone...do you guys even realize Parker as been way more injured than Gordon so far? Dude played 70 games less than Eric in the past four seasons. He's 23 and already had surgery for a broken foot and ACL.

    Let's be honest here, guys. There is one reason to pull the trigger on this trade:

    Jabari is a much cooler name than Eric.

    (Sorry, @DaDakota)

    This thread is a great way to discover who knows absolutely nothing about basketball.

    When you come out and say you don't pay defense, no one should be interested in trading for you

    Rockets should not be looking for UPSIDE that will mature in 3 yrs
    They are in WIN NOW mode. . . . .and sometimes people are who they always been
    What makes us think the Magical Rockets Logo will make this guy GET IT and play hard?

    Yes if its Parker for Knight.
    Hell to the no if its a straight up trade between Parker and Ego.

    Yes. I would.

    I would if I could include Knight, get back Holiday......and then send Parker to a third team in a 3-way deal that netted us other assets from a team looking to get out of the luxury tax and clear salary for next summer. ;)
