Exactly. There is a reason that 4 team trades are very rare. And that is when every partner has an incentive to cooperate- which GSW here hasn't. I will not keep an eye for Looney mr Feigen.
Kevon Looney adds toughness played playoffs hurt and grit we need more of that since thicc is the only one.
Send out House too then. AG playing the screener and roller is greater upgrade to House playing same spot. AG also much better facillitator, rebounder and defender than House. Variance is much less from Covington to Tucker role, spot up shooter & locking down best player. Need to get AG first - younger, more upside, more versatile and better complement to Tucker.
There's no reason for MIN to make a trade right now. They are likely going to push this up until the deadline to get any last and best offer.
Then F them. On to bigger and better. Love RoCo but Rockets do not need to be held hostage to these bastards.
House is important because when Tucker will expire and not get paid/resigned, we'll have a cheap repalcement already on the roster
@treyk3 Which player on ATL would entice ORL? ORL wants more offense/scoring, ATL wants Capela w/out giving up young core. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=v9hdzxm ATL: Capela, House ORL: Turner, Huerter, Hawks FRP HOU: AG Sign Nogueira (7'0 with 7'7 wingspan) and trade SRP to 76ers for 6'10 Jonah Bolden (7'3 wingspan). PG: Russ, Rivers SG: Harden, EGo, McLemore SF: Tucker, Thabo PF: AG, Bolden C: Nogueira, Harty, Tyson Save our own FRPs for another deal.
Looney would be a nice replacement. He played better against capela. And he can at least make floaters or shots near the basket in-line Clint who only does layups and dunks
Use FRP to acquire Mikal Bridges. Younger and much better defender. Harden and Russ will make Mikal a stud, better than House. House can go sulk somewhere else.
Tend to agree with this, but I don’t think the Rockets will have one of the worst defenses in the league after adding Covington and possibly another player.
Hopefully, it's just that between Mike and the players we have (age, habits)...i'm just not sold on us being able to be that good defensively as a team, even after we add a great defender like Covington, but we'll see, i'd love to be wrong.
he’s five years older and on a big contract. He’s never been the best player on his team. I just don’t see it, I have been wrong before but I just think he’s overrated. If the Rockets got him I’d be rooting for him regardless.
Where does Aaron Gordon come into play in all of this? I haven’t seen anyone say he is on the market. Just guys like Covington, Russell, Wiggins, Markieff Morris, Looney, Collins, Marcus Morris (now), Saric, Baynes, possibly Dedmon, Nerlens Noel, and Evan Turner. I haven’t heard one thing about Aaron Gordon being moved. Except for guys on here mentioning it. I just don’t see that happening.
