http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yhu896hl Im riding on Barret. Send them nets picks, they might say hmmm, we might do it. Its a interesting trade. But i see the upside on rockets side more than Knicks. But i think Rj would fit better next 2 Cade.
If this was 2017 I think you might be on to something but the Knicks are a better ran organization now.
Why would you give up both Wood and KPJ for basically RJ Barret? Giving up on those two because of fit would be very unwise. Wood may never be worth the max, but 20, 10, 2 who shoots 3’s is all-star caliber. KPJ has very rare handles and passing abilities. If he keeps his head straight (he is only 20) he will also be very good and make an all-star game or two. We should be hoarding draft picks and talented players for the next few years before worrying about fit.
This is the NYK trade I would consider if the Rockets are concerned about keeping Wood around or if they are hesitant about making a max offer to him: https://tradenba.com/trades/qAMquSaqb That would provide the Rockets with 4 frps in each of the next 2 drafts. Surrounding KPJ, Kmart, Toppin and Brooks with Cade/Mobley and maybe 3 more foundational type players (accounting for some busts) would put the Rockets on the road to at least be trying to win in 22-23 I would hope. One question I do have is what to do with Tate. If Wood is traded then I would think Tate would be too for similar reasons.
If Wood can score 26 points a game, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and can make clock expiring WINNING SHOTS.....give the man the max!!! just need to get rid of Wall
What would it take to steal this kid from Minny? Two way playmaking 6'7 guard that would improve our horrible FT% as well as FTA.
Wood for Wiseman + fillers I know that Wood has star potencial and is proven but he is injury phone . Wiseman is a risk but if it works we can lock him for many years
I'm not opposed to this idea, another reclamation project. Nothing like buying low, what pick assets do they have?
If Golden State add the Minny pick, I will take it a second. We can take the Wiggins contract in return.
I think the warriors might take a chance. they are going all in on curry and klay is back next season. Wiseman can still be very, very speial, but Woods is more win now So that may be interesting to them. Ican't imagine them adding the 4th pick in this situation for woods, I could see them trying to package wiseman and wood for an all star though. Wiggins has been solid for them ,I don't think they are going to dump him. They are spending crazy tax, on top of spending a lot to privately build the new arena facilities. They are committed so long as Curry is on this roster at an impressive level. Wolves...what to say about them? They couldn't even tank right. They went 5-5 to end the season and now increased their chances to...give golden state their pick when it was just a matter of a game or two to have their best odds. Twolves eventually are going to Twolve. If we get wiseman, that would be like getting a top 4 pick this year.
Wood, Gordon, & filler —> House etc. For Wiggins, Wiseman & Minny FRP Us— Wiggins would fit next to Porter as we grow. Wiggins is not a bad player just was over hyped then over paid. This move turns Gordon into a younger, bigger, more durable, traditional small forward; but at a higher price. (In a vacuum Gordon is the better player). Wiseman is also a more traditional center then Wood is. (In a vacuum Wood is the better player). We make the trade for the FRP. Hopefully the pick happens this year because Minny looks like they will be better next year, better than us for sure. If the pick happens this year it will be upper middle lottery. Them— Keeps GSW in win now mode as they get the better right now players.
