    With Harden in his prime every move we make needs to be about Championships...

    Ryan Anderson under contract as the 3rd highest paid player on the team won't get us there... we need to move him and we need to move him fast

    I love Eric Gordon and what we brings but this move (Dec 15th) would set us on the right course for this summer and CP3 pending FRee agency

    Eric Gordon
    Ryan Anderson
    Grizzlies pick
    Maybe even our first rounder

    For

    JJ Redick
    Jahill Okafor

    Both JJ and Okafor's deals come of the books in the summer and so does CP3

    We already know the kind of recruiter CP3 is and I believe in his twilight years he will be all about championships. He would even take less money to get there.

    With JJ we don't loose any shooting that Gordon brought and he played with CP before

    We also get a lost post option in Jahill

    I think it is a win win for both teams

    Thoughts?

    Did you look real real hard? It can get sticky when you're out there looking.

    This deserves its own thread . It's beneath "random trade " level .

    Reddick and okafor .... Hahahahahaha

    My heart skipped a beat when seeing gordon's name there! I hear what you're saying about getting these contracts off our books.

    I know I'm thinking short term but how far do you think this current team (if everyone's healthy) will get us into the playoffs?

    Okafor sucks, I don’t want that prehistoric big anywhere near this roster...Philly has been trying to give him away for like a year

    this trade would undoubtably make us worse

    Ego and his contract are too good to be given away for anything that’s not a star level player.

    Don’t trade Eric Gordon and a pick along with Anderson for Melo.. We can get JJ AND Flat footed none rebounder!

    I find the search engine doesn't work on threads that are so random like this.

    Absolutely! Why didn't Murray attempt to do this over the summer? Like maybe get the idiot Knicks to take Ryno and picks in exchange for Carmelo!

    Fire Maori!

    Recap: Htowngenius is back on Clutchfans, but no one knows who he is, and this is a Rockets forum, not a personal social media site. Chris Paul has a knee, ignoring midrange will kill us, Clint Capela is the next Wilt Chamberlain, the Rockets are destined to win a championship because the Astros just won one, apparently. Patrick Beverley is missed, Ryan Anderson is killing us because of his contract, and he should be allowed to do more than shoot 3's, and Demetrius Jackson jumped high. James Harden is going to get screwed in MVP voting, PJ Tucker is too busy attending Suns game to work on corner 3 point shooting, the Rockets almost traded Capela for DeAndre Jordan last year, and finally slickricky has a random trade idea but it was too good to go in the random trade ideas thread.
