I disagree that Gobert is worth more than an unproven euro because that can also describe Gobert. I don't want to make it sound like I think Gobert is the next big thing. I just think he could fill the backup center position quite well for us and could possibly become a fairly productive NBA player. I can't think that Utah really wants to hold onto a guy playing behind Favors and Kanter. I admit the pieces we send are on the low side, but Utah does get a comparable player with higher potential and a second round pick out of this. I guess you could throw in the rights to Llull. That might make it more even.
To Boston K.Papa (4.8m) J. Powell (1.3m) To Houston Jeff Green (9.2m) Brandon Bass (Via Lin TPE) To Boston T. Jones (1.6m) J. Terry (5.8m) I. Cannan (.8m) NOP #1 Pick To Houston Rajon Rondo (12.9) New Lineup: Rondo / Beverley / Johnson Harden / Daniels / Garcia Ariza / Green Bass / Motiejunas Howard / Black / Capella
Let me start by saying I love Pat Beverly and I would hate to play against him that being said I think this move is a no brainer for both teams Pat Bev T Jones Pelicans pick for Taj Gibson Doug McDermott Kirk Hinrich Dwight/DMO Gibson Ariza/McDermott Harden/Terry Hinrich/Johnson
I'd rather keep Bev and take Hinrich and Gibson. I'm assuming we'd be using the Lin TPE for this trade as well.
not enough minutes available for the guards. quite frankly i'd rather see daniels and johnson play over smith and canaan. play terry at pg. trade canaan and covington plus 2nd picks for schroeder from the hawks. schroeder's a project who was beaten for the backup role by shelvin mack last season. mack was re-signed to a 3yr deal this free agency. bev, terry, schroeder harden, daniels, johnson ariza, pap, adrien jones, donuts, dorsey howard, black, capela cuts: powell, mitchell, smith, & garcia *dorsey not cut because of his 2yr guaranteed deal.
Terry, Motiejuanas, 2 second rounders, Greg Monroe to Atlanta Horford, Korver to Houston (Korver would come in on a TPE) Jones to Detroit Obviously, this trade would have to occur lately in the season as neither Monroe nor Terry can be traded right away. Horford is big enough to deal with the bigger power forwards in the West and would help with our rebounding. He's on a favorable contract, and - while Atlanta often used him as a center- keep in mind that Horford himself has said that he wanted to play power foward, that he occasionally played next to Pachula in Atlanta, and the fact that Horford played PF in college next to Joakim Noah.
More of the same... http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nfroh88 Denver - Jason Terry & NOP pick Houston - Wilson Chandler then http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=mne8gcr Denver - DMo, Capela, Canaan and the rights to Llull Houston - Randy Foye Foye / Bev Harden / Ariza or Foye Ariza / Chandler / Papa Chandler / Jones / Adrien Howard / Black / Dorsey Lots of Spacing & Defensive Juggernaut Run plays for Jones as the 6th man for some offense of the bench This is the BEST TEAM we could reasonably put together in Howard's window Fills in some holes for the Nuggets aswell.
I'd definitely like Chandler coming off the bench. Don't care for foye so much but he always seems to kill us
Houston In: Al Horford, Kyle Korver Washington In: TJones, Canaan, 2nd Atlanta In: NOP 1st, 2 2nds, Papanikolaou, Otto Porter Jr., DMo, Capela Beverley / Ish / Johnson Harden / Daniels / Terry Ariza / Korver / Garcia Horford / Adrien / Howard / Dorsey / Black
Also, Atlanta would need to send 1 minimum salary player to Washington for Porter. Korver could either be absorbed into the Lin TPE or we could send them Terry. Next year, I'd like to see us bring over Sergio Llull using the MLE. Beverley / Llull Harden / Daniels Ariza / Korver Horford / Adrien Howard / Dorsey
Foye's games seems taylored made as Hardens back court mate and would work well with Bev as well. 3 and D with a high Bball IQ. He can do everything well and doesn't need the ball to do it. Chandler would have to start --> he has the skill set to score but he just doesn't. Jones as a sixth man fits his skill set better than not getting the touches needed to show his overall talent.
I know it's not a Moreyball style of move tho Ersan Ilyasova for Terry+D-Mo+Canaan+2nd round picks(SAC's & MIN's) O.J.Mayo for Lin's TPE I think it's time to buy low them and roll the dice. We'll finally have our stretch 4 and off the bench scorer if things go well...
Rockets Out: Terrence Jones, Josh Powell, Isaiah Canaan Rockets in: Timofey Mozgov, Gary Harris Backup center problem solved, Mozgov can play or even start if Dwight gets hurt.
Would love for houston to explore trades with the Pacers. Lets get us David West. Hes got an option in his contract. I dont see the pacers going far might be willing to let him go for younger talent and picks.
But how do you get the numbers straight? If you give up Terry, you'd have to wait until Nov 16 (can't be traded in combination) and couldn't involve the guys who will get cut. And giving up Papanikolaou plus a lot of talent or picks for a 34-year old who recently got injured and might leave next summer or make 12M$ for another year doesn't feel quite right.
