Do Rockets have a trade up their sleeves?

We do know that Morey has recently stated that he believes they'll be a significantly better team by the time the playoffs come around - I read into that as saying he will have trade pieces available for a big trade by the trade deadline. So yes, there probably WILL be a significant trade..however it may not come for several months

 

If you give them a whole season, of course there will be a trade. How long can a team go without making trades? Plus, Morey has basically said he would when he said they'd be better by playoff time -- he's targetting a deadline trade. But, I don't think the Papa contract is a very significant piece of the puzzle. He signed a big contract so he can afford to pay the buyout to come over. The Rockets can decline the second year and offer a cheaper contract after the season. Of course, his contract does have the secondary purpose that it can help match salaries. That might be part of the reason it's worth our while to sign him. But, I still think the main reason his salary is what it is is that he couldn't come over without money for the buyout.

 

My sources have confirmed the Rockets will make a trade in the next 48 months. I can't reveal where I get my information, he could lose his job, but, He says if not 48 months then definitely 72 months. It will be a player who plays one of the 5 positions or possibly a tweener. I can tell you the team name ends with "S" to help narrow it down even further. No need to start a new thread for this or thank me for sharing. Just want to keep everyone updated with the latest 411. Please don't flame me if this doesn't happen but praise me like the King of Sheba if it does!!

 

I don't think we will see a trade until the mid-season deadline

 

Damn, I guess that means Oladipo is out.

 

Can a mod just combine this thread with that obnoxious Cyberex thread? It's practically the same thing. This will hit the same amount of pages as that one in no time.

 

Yes, this.

 

I'm an Aries, by the way.

 

There's a good post. And who knows what they're planning with all of their time.

 

That just brought back so many memories... to be a child again..

 

Formula: Assets +/- Players Value + Daryl Morey Formula= Trade

 

I would love Nate Robinson if healthy. Hes a great scoring punch off the bench and steps his game up in big playoff games

 

let's go bledsoe!

 

Rumors are also flying around from Rockets camp that the player they're pursuing is either black or a guy from Europe. Sources won't give me a name, but the guy they wants between 5'10" and 7'6".

 

Future, yes. Right now? no

 

Morey runs the show here. There is always a trade "up his sleeve".

 

Don't know but if he does trade I hope he gets something in return. Unlike this offseason.
