Chase Budinger dealt to Minny for #18

Hey Bud, let's party! On the party boat!

 

We lost our best 3pt shooter in hopes of renting Howard for one season

 

Seems too good to be true to me too...but then again it is MOREY and KAAAHHHHN!

 

Smh at Kahnnn

 

Holy sh!+

This is the kind of news I was hoping to wake up to. The action has begun, let's not stop there. Swing for the fences Maury!

 

Great move by the Rockets. Budinger's fate was sealed when he got demonted for Parson's this past season. With Parson's the guy for now at the 3 and Morris hanging around, moving Budinger made sense and getting a 1st round pick for a guy we got in the 2nd round a few seasons back is a great return on investment.

This also keeps Martin on board for the time being to sweeten the next deals. Now we have Lowry, Martin and 3 mid 1st round picks as ammo to move up into the draft for the chance to either draft a highly rated big and wing, or trade for Dwight.

Either way, when we look back Budinger for the 18th pick is what set this all in motion.

 

PLEASE...not another 6'9" Power Forward...

 

Completely agree.

 

You can't be serious, Budinger has been one of the most inconsistent players on this team since he's been here.

 

So we had the brooks->lowry->dragic, now we have the budinger->parson-> Morris ?

 

ITS MARCUS MORRIS TIME BETCHES!

 

Are you serious !

 

so we've got no taker for K-Mart? I think Minny is the only team that covets him..

 

Solid trade. Bud was solid. Thanks for reping us in the dunk contest.

 

were not gonna hear hey bud lets party from bill,bull and clyde smh

That's ok. Eliyahu is a borderline NBA player at best, anyway.

F Chase Budinger tells FOX 26 being traded to T-Wolves did not shock him. "the Rockets want to do something and they have got to pay for it.

 

I think it is Morey taking advantage of Adelman. Remember Adelman telling him NEVER to trade Budinger when he was still here. This is what I call getting MAX value. Still, good deal for both team, Minny does not need another rookie, and like I've always believed, Bud does not have a future with the Rockets.

According to @wojyahoonba, Houston also sends rights to Israeli Lior Eliyahu. The Rockets - who want assets for a Dwight Howard Deal - now have No. 14, No. 16 and No. 18 and are going to make it very difficult for Orlando to say no. Houston GM Daryl Morey has shown a willingness to deal for Howard despite the fact that he doesn't want to come and isn't likely to stay beyond next season.

Took a role player in the second and traded him for a first rounder. Good job!
