[basketballholic] One of Butler/Kawhi/Winslow/Oubre is a Rocket come March. And maybe even sooner...

    Winslow is the only one left on that list.

    The odds are very low on Kawhi. I put him on the list because he hasn't committed to Toronto and I still think he could possibly be moved at the deadline. I don't think he's coming here.

    So YOU put him on the list. In other words, it's not an actual list of actual targets that came from an actual source.

    It's simply a list of guys you like and would love to see in a Rockets uni.

    Good to know. Thanks for the clarification.

    Another update adding Hayward....and I don't want him. K? But it's been brought i to my attention that it's possible if certain other things go a certain way that we trade for him at the deadline. Greater odds than Kawhi but still low. Winslow is most likely. And I've put this in order of highest to lowest odds with one of the guys in the top list much more likely than the second list;


    Winslow
    Beal (could acquire him and move Harden to defensive wing)
    Oubre
    Porter, Jr.
    KD decent chance

    Possible but not very likely at all.
    Hayward
    Barnes
    Kawhi
    Batum

    I'm not adding Butler at this time. Have heard nothing on him. Do not believe he's going to be available. Also do not think if he were available that we would outbid other teams for him. Remember, I told you from the start that we weren't trading Tucker for Butler and that our interest in Butler was tepid before he was traded. Nothing has changed in that regard.

    **** There is one huge exception to the above. And that is if the Pels decide to move Davis at the deadline we will be standing on their doorstep with probably the best overall package available to help them rebuild.
    We.are.ahead.of.the.Lakers.in.the.pursuit.of.AD. ****

    Secondarily to that...if Draymond becomes available I can easily see us drop the pursuit of these guys to make a move for him.

    How mundane does life need to be that pretending to be an insider seems worthwhile? Hey internet strangers, take me seriously!

    Four 1st-round picks = tepid

    -also-

    Margot Robbie = homely

    My sources says its 99% certain.

    I don't believe that for 1 second. Provide me the Rockets asset package that trumps the Lakers assets now, and the Celtics assets this summer, or whoever gets the #1 pick/Zion.

    The 4 picks deal was knight, Chriss, 4 picks with Tyus, kbd, and two seconds coming back. That's why the wolves didn't take it. K? Wrt did not have the best offer on the table.

    I said Lakers.....at the deadline. Not the Celtics or Lakers over the summer....although if AD isn't traded by the deadline we'll be players for him.

    I'm too busy to type it all out presently but we have a better deal on the table for the Pels than the Lakers do....or will have.

    Something tells me it includes Capela. Just a hunch.

    Well if there's anyone worth trading Capela for it's certainly Davis.

    @Clutch please ban this fool @basketballholic. His troll game is so strong that people can’t help to reply to his outrageous posts. Putting him on ignore makes threads confusing because people can’t resist his trolling. Does anyone actually believe this guy is a Rockets fan?

    basketballholic is one of the best posters (and insiders) on this board. There's very few people whose posts I enjoy more.
