Houston Rockets Trade-Up Targets in 2012 NBA Draft

Beal. I like him alot.

 

I'd have to go with Kidd-Gilchrist!!

 

MKG, Drummond, Robinson, Beal

 

I went with Beal and Drummond. The only other guy I would consider would be MKG. I just don't see him as THAT much of an improvement over Parsons.

 

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Kentucky)
Perry Jones (Baylor)
Andre Drummond (Connecticut)
Thomas Robinson (Kansas)
Bradley Beal (Florida)
Harrison Barnes (North Carolina)
Tyler Zeller (North Carolina)

 

why not trade down to 20 and 31 to get royce white and tony wroten.

 

We could do both. Morris+ Dallas pick for those two.

 

Lowry+a pick won't get us a shot at MKG, TR, or BB. Out of the rest, I pick Sullinger as my reasonable choice. If Sully can play C then I think it's a good call. Barnes and Jones are alternates.

 

this


Do what ever it takes to get Beal and Drummond sort of giving Parsosns away. Then the NEW ROCKET ERA will start.

 

Fantasy. Nothing we have could accomplish this.

 

MKG.

Motor never stops. Always plays hard. Plays defense.

Then use the Lowry cap space on players you really want/need (including Dragic).

 

If there was a way to get Beal, I would trade Lowry, Martin,Bud, the NY pick and our second round pick(from minny) to get him

 

we play this wishful thinking game everytime the draft comes around.....ie Cousins, Valančiūnas. I just hope we have better luck this year. I also feel we have better bait then years past to move up. But dont think going from 13 to 5 is easy. Most teams picking in ranges 1-5 are in shambles and need stars. Thats why I look at Portland as a possibility. They have the franchise guys. Aldridge, Batum....They just need a solid supporting cast which I think Lowry, 13th and 17th pick could provide them. Unless they think Kobe 2.0 is available when they pick.

 

A player you don't have listed is Damian Lillard. The Rockets have a problem with getting shots in isolated situations. If you trade Kyle and amnesty Martin then Scola will be the only player on the team that can get his shot off in an Iso. Lillard is 6'2" with long arms and is fast and explosive.

 

All of the above please(would trade up for any of them)?

 

One of those guys may fall, but it'd be for a reason of course. So to rank them,

Tier One
MKG
Robinson
Beal

Tier Two
Drummond
Barnes
Harrison

Tier Three
Jones
Henson
Zeller

Jones is the only tier 3 guy that excites me. Not that the other two cant NBA contributors, but meh

Also I'd add Lamb to Tier 2. He doesn't appear to have a D wade all around game, but a great scorer with crazy good wingspan and great athleticism.

 

Drummond
Robinson
Beal
Barnes
Gil

Only players worth Lowry + Picks. I'm a huge Baylor homer, and still want little to do with PJ3... unless he were to drop all the way to our late lotto.

 

i would like beal or mkg but im pretty sure there wont be much movement of position (based on the last couple years). I think the strategy of rebuilding will have to be addressed this offseason.

Les is a business guy. you'd think he'd cut the waste and upgrade machinery at some point. There looks to be some nice pieces next year with muhammed and whenever parker comes out (maybe the following).

My hope is that we bring over d-mo and llull, resign lee and dragic, and trade lowry and martin and one 4. We need to facilitate the learning curve of our talent. A short season like this was wasted on mediocrity. I want some tangible hope to cling to rather than blind fanatacism. i was done with that last season.

 

If I were the Nets, I would sign Howard AND draft Davis. Best PF/C combo in the league- the next Robinson/Duncan.
