    Rumor: Houston seeing if there is trade market for Ty Lawson

    By Kurt Helin Dec 1, 2015, 2:41 PM EST

    While it does happen — and the ones that do happen tend to be bigger names — December is not a time the NBA does a lot of trades. Team GMs are always willing to talk, listen, and get a feel for the market, but it’s not until after the first of the year — and closer to the February trade deadline — before the market picks up momentum.

    But there are always trade rumors, and the well-connected Steve Kyler over at BasketballInisiders.com had an interesting one — the Houston Rockets might be open to moving Ty Lawson.

    The Rockets are 10.4 points per 100 possessions better this season when Lawson is on the bench rather than starting. Lawson and James Harden — both of whom need the ball in their hands to be most effective — get outscored by 9.3 points per 100 possession when they are paired. Pair Lawson with Dwight Howard and the Rockets are -11.4 per 100.

    The Rockets clearly need to shake things up, and firing coach Kevin McHale and bringing in J.B. Bickerstaff has not been the answer. They have serious effort issues, which leads to real locker room chemistry questions. If they move Lawson, with that salary they should get a player of some value in return. If a good team loses a point guard to injury, Lawson could be a viable alternative.

    Moving Lawson would be no magic bullet for Houston right now, but don’t be shocked if you hear a lot Lawson rumors as the trade deadline nears.

    There wasn't a trade market for him during the offseason, there certainly won't be one now.

    And the sky is blue!

    Ty Lawson clearly has NOT worked out.

    Isn't he technically also an expiring contract in a trade, or would that provision go away in a trade?

    Ty for Isaiah Canaan

    Pretty much same size but the latter can shoot and allows Dwight to handle his balls. I am sure that will result in improved chemistry.

    My reaction also, but I think it's also fairly obvious the Rockets "might be open to moving Ty Lawson".

    Honestly I don't see the point of offloading him for cheap. Rather see if he can turn it around for us. If nothing can be gained trading him then why do it? Try to work it out and see where things go.

    still feel like its the coaching staff that needs to get ty involved in with the team.. i bet if we had a completely different regime, they would try their best to get ty going.. not let bev and frikkin jet play all the damn minutes.. then when ty played well yesterday, JB puts in bev to throw up brick floaters and get torched by reggie jackson..

    This is difficult to digest, mostly because Ty will go back to being a 9.5 assist guy and we'll wonder why in the world did we not utilize him correctly....
