Sources: Rockets pushing for a RYNO trade before the deadline

Ppl worried about losing Ryan when we are a title contender and completely discount/forget as a title contender WE are now that super annoying team that gets really good players for free now.

 

Maybe we could work out something for Ersan & Belinelli.

 

No way we give Ryno away without a rotation player as his replacement. I’m really surprised people brush over the fact that Ryno is not feeling part of the team like before.

 

U da best cyber. Thanks for everything.

 

...If he had just kept playing like he was in November, when he was taking and making shots and playing good defense, he'd be welcome to stay. Seems like he made this a self-fulfilling prophecy. I like the guy but he comes off as a headcase.

 

Morey would be the best GM if he can unload Anderson' contract now.

Luc Mbah a Moute and Trevor Ariza, small forwards, can line up as a power forward to provide more spacing and potential three-point power.

Pack another young talent and picks?

 

**** i have been on reddit all day, what did I miss?

 

I could actually see it being

Anderson for Lopez & Holiday with the Bulls.

 

Yah who would feasibly take him??? And what could we dream to get ?

 

For an Anderson trade we have synergy with:

1. Lakers - see my post in Lopez thread. If Deng will non-guarantee about half his remaining money we could possiblymake a deal with the Lakers beneficial to both sides, saving them about $10 million in cap space next season.

2. Jazz- desperately need a knock down shooter/floor spacer at the 4. Favors expiring not worth much. Jazz have virtually no shot at free agents.

3. Pacers - large non-guaranteed in Jefferson. They're not a free agent destination. A 3-way with the Lakers peddling Clarkson there for Jefferson and Deng here may be possible.

4. Pistons - SVG still likes him. And he's a poor GM.

5. Blazers - still want him, likely would take him at this point without a pick involved if we would take back Harkless and Myers. Before the season they were willing to take him with one first round pick.

 

You forget we have to actually rebound our opponents misses or else they get a ton of second chance opportunities?

 

If the Rockets could find a way to get Mirotic from the bulls... I'd be down for the Anderson trade.

 

Favors and Iso Joe have 22 million expiring contracts.

 

Aaron Gordon or Stanley Johnson wont help you beat Oakland

 

you’re making it sound like the players are purposefully excluding him, cyberx said that it’s Ryno who’s not trying to bond with teammates because he knows he’ll be gone

 

@cyberx have you heard anything about what LBJ plans to do this summer? Possible destinations he's eyeing? What other execs think?

 

So late in the season, it is dealing for expiring contract, not 2nd round pick.

 

Not so wild on the Lakers deal but I could see some legs to any of the others. I don't know if any of those deals necessarily make the Rockets better but I suspect this is more about maintaining movable assets than improving the team because at the moment Rhyno is doing little for us anyway.
