Random Houston Rockets Trade Ideas - 2012-13

Reports were saying that Zach Randolph is gonna get traded so i put this 3 team together

 

Looks good. Def a few more pieces need to go to the grizz but plausible.

 

man this is the stupidest trade ever your not playing video games here why would the grizz trade zbo for nothing and the hawks would rather want gay than zbo they have horford i mean if the grizz wanted they could just trade zbo for jsmoove , man get some logic in your head

this seems a little more plausible

 

the problem with this trade is we still would need a backup pg desperatly

 

We have one, Beverly is ready.

 

Naw, man, jump on the Beverley Thrillbilly wagon while there's still room!

Ryan Anderson has indeed looked good at times; but then there have been entire games (in a small sample) I could swear I didn't even notice he was on the court. Overall, he seems like a good fit-- a stretch four. Still hoping DMo and TJ will turn into more versatile versions of Ryan Anderson.

 

can burks play the 3? but, i think utah will hold on to Burks IMO......

 

One thing that stuck out to me from a recent Morey interview is he really believes the 5 should be the only post player. That explains why we've always played DMo at the 5, when it seems his natural position is the 4.

If that's true, DeMarcus Cousins makes the most sense.

Trade: Omer Asik, Donatas Motiejunas, Marcus Morris, Royce White
Receive: DeMarcus Cousins, Fransico Garcia

Post trade lineup

PG: Lin / Beverly / Douglas
SG: Harden / Delfino
SF: Parsons / Garcia
PF: Patterson / Jones
C: Cousins / Smith

Why the Rockets do it
You add a 2nd foundational piece. A guy that can develop into a force on both ends of the court. Also, Garcia's contract expires in 2014, so he become a $6 million trade chip at next years deadline.

Why the Kings do it
You get rid of a headache, add a legit starting center in Asik that has and will maintain tremendous trade value, add a high upside/cheap PF in DMo, add a medium upside/cheap SF/PF in Morris, and get a chance at adding a unique talent in Royce White if he ever comes around.

 

Isn't Royce White a bigger headache than DeMarcus Cousins?

 

No. He's not even on the team.

Royce is just a throwin to build up the core package: Asik, Motiejunas, and Morris. He may or may not be appealing to them, but really, I don't think Royce poses near the same issues as Cousins does. With Royce, either he shows up or he doesnt.

 

But isn't Royce rambling off to the media about how he's a victim of the Rockets franchise or something?

 

I think the New Orleans trade could work, but the Rockets need a PF defender and Ryan Anderson is just another shooter. Rockets already have perimeter shooting at the forward spots.

GREAT TRADE MAKES good sense

 

when is the trade deadline?

 

That's interesting. Very interesting. So, with Asik manning the 5, does Morey just intend for the Rockets to not have a post game?? The Rockets did pretty well with Otis Thorpe next to Hakeem. I don't think your power forward has to be camped out at the 3 point line. In fact, I don't know if I like it at all...

Randy Foye sits in the system better than Lin... I think it's that simple.

 

I like it, but isnt Memphis looking to get below tax? This would have them taking on salary & I think TOR is more likely to move Lowry w/ Calderon ballin this year.
