I think this trade deadline, the Rockets will definitely choose a direction

Please point out the posters you are refering to? I'm guessing you don't really know of any that fits your discription.

 

You have to suck to get a rose or get super lucky like the bulls.

 

It does help when the Bulls got the best luck in NBA draft history

 

Impressive! :grin: LOL!

They may win championship(s) in the near future, but, till then...

 

Bulls aren't that great. Rose carries them on his back, and chokes when it counts.

 

To answer your question. Right now, we are winning.

 

i'm trying to figure out who can we trade to get a superstar or back up center

 

Actually, after watching the Bulls-Heat game, my first impression was how crummy the Chicago offense is, and how other than Rose and maybe Noah, the Bulls team looks really thin and average in talent. The second thing that struck me is how the Heat consistently tightens up and chokes on offense at crunch time and could use someone else who can score on their own to loosen things up.

So, what I took out of the game is that the Rockets may lack the starpower of Rose, James, and Wade, but the Heat and Bulls lack the depth of the Rockets. At some point there is going to be a team that wants to trade a star for better depth, and at that point the Rockets can cash in some of their wealth of solid players. I agree that the Rockets as built are not a real championship contender. But the Rockets have really solid players 1-8, and that is more than you can say for a lot of teams, even the Bulls and Heat.

 

I think you can easily get a 1st round pick for Bud, the question is how high. Lottery? No. Number 28 pick? I think Bud has proven he is better than a 2nd round selection.

 

I agree, the bulls are lame.

 

Missed two clutch free throws today against Miami that would have put Bulls ahead.

 

Our best shot at getting a superstar is if Howard gets traded to the Lakers forcing the nets to give up on DWill. If we can get him and hold on to the Knicks pick we are in a pretty good situation going into next year.

 

When is the trade deadline?

 

March 15

 

They made bad picks...they traded away a player in aldridge they shouldn't have. It's all a risk either way...and staying on the treadmill doesn't sound attractive either. There is no surefire approach...but our GM has come out and said it's obviously easier to rebuild if you have higher draft picks than if you do not have higher draft picks.

I've also been led to believe that our GM is smarter than everyone else...if that's the case, we shouldn't have the same problems the Bulls did in the draft.

 

Montajaunes and sergio are our future role players we need a star who can play with them. We need to keep a major swing player at the two position. I say keep our two guards and use our lowrey as trade asset. We all know point guards are easier to find than quality shooting guards.

 

i find it hard to believe we will keep both euro players for much longer...maybe motiejunas but not llull... and i dont think lowry is going anywhere without it involving dwight...

you dont trade our closest thing to an all-star(lowry) for someone to play with our future role players(if they arent traded)...

cant see that happeneing at all...

 

Ditto, but I made the decision that the Org is just not going to tank becaues Le$ won't let them, so rather than be frustrated by watching them eeek into the playoffs, I am just going to enjoy the ride, with no expectations whatsoever.

I think Llull stays (well at least until we get his stock up). He's basically Dragic #2 on a 2nd rd pick's rookie contract. Plus we paid Denver 2mil for him (pretty high for a second rounder) so he must have some value to Morey.
