Random Houston Rockets Trade Ideas - 2012-13

Seeing as there are no more stars to chase, i would say Parsons, Jones, DMo, Lamb and White. I doubt Morey would trade any of them for a second tier player.

 

If we are looking to rebuild, maybe we could try something along the lines of....

Detroit gets:
K Mart
G Smith
D Simpson

Houston gets:
A Drummond
C Villanueva
A Daye

Detroit gets a legitimate scoring 2 guard since they let Hamilton go. the rest of the guys are just fillers. Also they get rid of Charlie V who has struggled (I may be wrong since I do not watch Detroit bball) and Daye who hasnt done anything since being so highly compared to Prince. Drummond is promising but still raw.

Houston gets a "Franchise" type center if Drummond pans out well. we take on yet another pf but this time he is 6'11" so maybe we'll cut him for being too tall. We get rid of K Mart who had a terrible season in 2011-12 for a couple of promising players and a less terrible contract in Charlie V.

Let the beheading begin...

 

Trying my best to refrain but you are insane.

 

well... Stuckey arguably > Kevin Martin, so they don't really need Martin.
And Drummond is a perfect fit next to Monroe, even if he fulfills 50% of his potential.
They've been looking for a Drummond type for a while now.
So they will never do it.

Charlie-V idea is interesting though. I'm sure they'll look to get rid of him, and they may pay something for it, but your price is way too high.

I think they will amnesty him next year, if they can't find a trade.
2013 summer is a big summer for them.
They'll have a lot of cap space, especially if they manage to get rid of both Charlie-V and Tayshaun Prince. And if they find a great SF / another big, they could finish building a long term contender.

 

I figured moving Stuckey back to PG is what they would want, but again I dont watch detroit bball so IDK how they run with him. This trade seemed beneficial to me since NBA Trade Machine added +2 wins to Detroit's record

I tried to make a trade suggestion that didnt include Al Jefferson since everyone has done one already.

 

The only way I see them giving up Drummond is if we give them TJones (who would be a very nice compliment to Monroe), Morris, Martin, and filler seconds.

So it'd essentially be a trade like this

Martin, Jones, Morris, Gsmith, rights to Diebler, filler seconds

for

Drummond, Villaneuva, Daye

Lin/Douglass
Delfino/Lamb
Parsons/Daye
Ppat/Dmo/White
Asik/Drummond/Villaneuva

 

i think Stuckey will stay a 2 from now on. Stuckey just looks more solid defensively as a 2, and he wasn't a good 1 offensively anyway.

Also, I think Brandon Knight will be a very very good point guard.
I don't see any way they bench him. I think there's a much better chance of him becoming an All Star than getting benched. Baring major injuries.

All they really need now is sign or trade for a good young 3, and hope that Drummond develops. Otherwise they are set.

 

I like this trade but there is NO way Detroit does it...

 

Can't see why HOUSTON would screw their cap space in the summer in order to take on such a big risk in Drummond.

Villanueva gets paid next season as well ($8.5m), so I'm pretty sure that'd be a no from Houston's point of view.

I'm in the "Drummond = bust" camp, clearly Detroit is in the "Drummond = win" camp, so from their perspective I can't see why on earth they'd even consider this deal. We'd have to be sending them a 'talent' and a pick at this stage.

Perhaps if Drummond busts this season then they'd make the deal, but if he busts already I fail to see the use for us?

 

Ten team trade deadline deal.

***It's really long, not ideal, but does help every single team, financially and team play-wise. I did a lot of this on my phone, but all the trades should be good to go after December 15 pending player bird-rights approval. I just showed rotation lineups plus liner notes to make it easier on the eyes.***


Rockets


Starting Lineup


PG: Eric Bledsoe
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Brandon Rush
PF: Donatas Motiejunas
C: DeMarcus Cousins


Bench


PG: Aaron Brooks
SG: Rodigue Beaubois / Dahntay Jones
SF: Carlos Delfino
PF: Chuck Hayes
C: Bismack Biyombo

Notes-Shed the nice guy image with a legit franchise center in Cousins who has All-time potential paired with one of the last remaining true 2-way wing players in Gordon. Hyper-pesky perimeter defense potential in the backcourt with Bledsoe, Gordon, and Rush. Allow Donatas' game to grow alongside Demarcus as they should complement each other immensely. Brooks and Hayes return home. Brooks gets to play to his max potential in a 6th man role ala Jason Terry paired with lengthy and similarly speedy and athletic Beaubois. Opponent wings never catch a break against the petal to the metal rotation of Gordon, Bledsoe, Brooks, and Beaubois..."killers b's". Zero drop off from Rush to Delfino, outside shooting and defense. Let Hayes mentor frontcourt partner Biyombo and put his brain in Biyombo's body. Still have 2 first rounders and financial flexibility to potentially sign our own Big Three in Wall, Gordon, and Demarcus.



Clippers


Starters


PG: Chris Paul
SG: Kevin Martin
SF: Chandler Parsons
PF: Blake Griffin
C: DeAndre Jordan


Bench


PG: Shaun Livingston / Gary Neal
SG: Jamal Crawford
SF: Grant Hill
PF: Carl Landry
C: Tiago Splitter

Notes- Quality Backup bigs to compete with the Lakers in Splitter & Landry. Replace Caron with Chandler's more favorable contract and fit plus Kevin Martin's expirer to resign Paul and still maintain flexibility while staying competitive.






Spurs


Starters


PG: Tony Parker
SG: Danny Green
SF: Kawhi Leonard
PF: Tim Duncan
C: Boris Diaw


Bench


PG: Chauncey Billups
SG: Manu Ginobili
SF: Lamar Odom / Royce White
PF: Patrick Patterson / Royce White
C: Andris Biedrens / Lamar Odom

Notes- Pick up veterans Billups and Biedrens which would benefit in Pop's system. Versatile Lamar Odom replaces Steven Jackson, can play sf/pf/c/point-forward. Pick up prospect bigs in Patterson and Royce who could potentially flourish in Pop's system while losing players that had trouble meshing in. Now has the size to compete with the Lakers and versatility to compete with the Thunder along with a fluid transition into the future.




Kings


Starters


PG: Jeremy Lin
SG: Jeremy Lamb
SF: James Johnson
PF: Thomas Robinson
C: Omer Asik


Bench


PG: Isaiah Thomas
SG: John Salmons
SF: Travis Outlaw
PF: Jason Thompson
C: Robin Lopez


Picks-
Houston 1st (TOR), Charlotte 1st (protections), Spurs 1st, Clippers 1st

Notes- 4 first rounders, Arena and city saving Jeremy Lin, quality wing in Lamb, great rotation of young bigs in Robinson, Thompson, Asik, Lopez. Allows Isaiah Thomas to flourish in scoring 6th man role. Team character makeover.




Hornets


Starters


PG: Kendall Marshall
SG: Austin Rivers
SF: Marcus Morris
PF: Markieff Morris
C: Anthony Davis


Bench


PG: Greivis Vasquez
SG: Jimmer Fredette
SF: Omri Casspi
PF: Ryan Anderson
C: Brendan Haywood

Notes-Replace discontented Gordon's max contract with the Morris twins and Kendall Marshall. Veteran leadership and size in Haywood and outside shooters in Jimmer and Omri. Pure College ball in a Bourbon St. Atmosphere.



Suns


Starters


PG: Goran Dragic
SG: Marcus Thornton
SF: Michael Beasley
PF: Luis Scola
C: Marcin Gortat


Bench


PG: Jarrett Jack
SG: Shannon Brown
SF: Wesley Johnson
PF: Channing Frye / JaJuan Johnson
C: Jermaine O'Neal

Notes- Finally acquire an outside shooter and scorer on the wing in Thornton and a quality veteran pg in Jack to lead a solid and athletic bench which phx has been known for with the goal of making the playoffs this season.




Warriors


Starters


PG: Stephen Curry
SG: Klay Thompson
SF: Harrison Barnes
PF: David Lee
C: Andrew Bogut


Bench


PG: Kemba Walker
SG: Vince Carter
SF: Steven Jackson
PF: Dejuan Blair
C: Jeremy Tyler

Notes-Bring back bay area hero SJax paired with veteran VC to help fortify a young wing lineup. Bring in Kemba as Curry insurance and Blair to complete the bench. Blair would be best suited molding his game after Lee. Will compete to squeeze phx and the like out of the 8th seed.



Mavs


Starters


PG: Darren Collison
SG: OJ Mayo
SF: Shawn Marion
PF: Dirk Nowitzki
C: Chris Kaman

Bench


PG: Sebastian Telfair
SG: Delonte West
SF: Caron Butler
PF: Elton Brand
C: BJ Mullens

Notes-Mavs replace ill-fitting Vince Carter with better fitting SF Butler along with big prospect BJ Mullens to replace Mahimi. Can compete with this lineup and be financially free as Dirk, Marion, and Butler all expire at the same time.




Bobcats


Starter


PG: Tyreke Evans
SG: Ben Gordon
SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
PF: Terrence Jones
C: Andersen Varajeo


Bench


PG: Ramon Sessions
SG: Daniel Gibson
SF: Reggie Williams
PF: Jon Leuer
C: Brandan Wright

Notes-Small-market Charlotte gets its core. The two Kentucky Wildcat teammates in TJones and Kidd-Gilchrist along with Varajeo provide pure energy and length in the frontcourt. Potential go-to-scorer in Tyreke in his more comfortable ball-handling position and Ben Gordon gets his chance to prove his starting ability to round out the backcourt. Tyreke can switch with BG to the more physically imposing wing opponent. Sessions and Boobie already have chemistry and played well off the bench during the Cavalier days. They pick up young athletic big Brandan Wright who made great strides last season with the Mavs.




Cavs

Starters

PG: Kyrie Irving
SG: Gerald Henderson
SF: Al-Farouq Aminu
PF: Tyrus Thomas
C: Tyler Zeller

Bench

PG: Dion Waiters
SG: Alonzo Gee
SF: CJ Miles
PF: Tristan Thompson
C: Samardo Samuel

Notes- Cavs switch out Varajeo and throw zeller in the fire. The additions of Henderson, Aminu, and Tyrus round out a now elite-level athletic starting lineup which Byron Scott and Kyrie will have lots of fun with. Dion Waiter can hone his game and get some NBA seasoning as the sixth man ala Harden (not similar game-wise but potentially impact-wise in the future. Tristan, CJ, and an improving Gee rounds out the bench.

 

that's a horrible trade i'm glad your not the rocket's gm..

 

It's sarcasm, regarding what Orlando settled for in the DH trade.

I hope.

 

Sorry, but it's fun. I just wanted to see what was possible and it turned into a ten team trade.

 

very hard to understand what happened though... :grin:
i just know you had to rob some teams, because that roster is pure win in terms of talent.

 

Looks like it's time to trade Chandler:

 

Joe Dumars is looking for veteran 2 guard and he is dangling Austin Daye lets send Martin for Daye. Maybe he turns into Tayshaun Prince!!!!

 

Daye sucks. But salaries wouldn't work anyhow.
Interested in the original T-Prince maybe, for some veteran leadership? There's a good chance they'd give him up. They are clearly targeting next summer's free agent class and might want to lose a contract.

 

I've given up on trying to come up with trade scenarios for our team since we've basically struck out on every superstar we were after. No point in trading for 2nd tier players as it would only bring us back to basketball mediocrity/purgatory and we would never get the chance to possibly get high draft picks.

Roll with what we have right now and i'd probably do some minor deals just to even up the roster (too many PFs) or at least try to get more future draft picks and/or young prospects. Also use Kevin Martin as trade bait to stack up on nore of those picks/young prospects to position ourselves long term and set us up for a total rebuild.

Besides, no one would be able to beat Miami or the LA Lakers with their super teams anyway.

 

Would entertain that trade if a nice draft pick was coming with Prince, but the problem is they owe their 2013 1st rounder to Charlotte so there might be some difficultly geting picks from them.

Martin for Prince really doesn't make much sense at this point either on the court or off the court IMO.
