[BallInEurope] Rockets interested in Fernandez

yes!!! yes!!!

 

The money wouldn't match if you replace Battier with Bud. Plus they're looking to add some veteran experience to their bench. Specially at SF where they only have Batum(young upcoming player) and (rookie) Luke Babbitt, so Shane would be more than welcomed.

On our side we get a legitimate back-up center in Przybilla as well as a legitimate back-up SG in Fernandez, to fill both of our biggest needs.

and this is great!! we can work martin to run the point at times, now that lowry is gone

so it looks like this

martin
fernandez
ariza
scola
hill

just an example.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Przybilla doesn't play another game in the NBA. His double injury was pretty severe. I would not count on him playing any significant time this year. Fernandez will probably not be happy here either and he's extremely inconsistent and plays no D, so I'd just pass.

 

Calm down bub, Rockets have 7 days to match Lowry's offer sheet.

 

Does getting Fernandez means we can get Rubio to join him? If so, Get it done, Morey! :grin:

 

Yuppers GM was once after Rubio too before last season.

 

...edit...

i'd do the trade exception and 2012 first for rudy.

 

and not as good and like 65 million left on his contract over 5 years.

 

24 million. hell na. i mean i love him. but thats a lot of dough

 

hey rubio and rudy should come join us in houston .. maybe we can trade for darko and have our own europian big 3

 

fernandez is instant offense. perfect backup for this team. i like the idea of getting fernandez AND aldridge in a big deal.

 

I'm just not understanding the logic here. Maybe cause there is none?

 

Portland gave Aldridge a 5yr $70mil contract extension in 2009. I doubt this is someone they plan on trading. Looks like they consider him one of the cornerstones of their franchise along with Roy.

 

Morey has been trying to get Fernandez for literally years...

 

For some reason, I've always believed he would be a Rocket one way or another. Rick gets the most out of players like Fernandez. I just hope we don't give up on those knicks picks. With the way he's playing in the summer league,I wouldn't mind them trading Bud if it meant us getting him.

 

You make minutes for players like Rudy. He would work perfectly with this offense. And would be just added extra depth to are team. The Blazers are more loaded with guards than we are, And I think he just lost his urge to play there. Which showed in his play.

 

Hill is Younger, taller and more athletic than scola, so what?

 

Battier + Hill + OUR 2012 1st pick For Fernandez + Oden

Yao Ming, Oden, Anderson
Scola(?), Patterson, Hayes
Ariza, Budinger, Harris
Martin, Fernandez, Taylor
Brooks, Lowry(?)

 

Umm... Hill doesn't put up slightly better stats than Scola like Aldridge does.

It's irrelevant anyways, because Portland isn't trading Aldridge.
