What 1st (2nd) round picks could these Rockets players fetch?

LOL Dudley's name has been thrown around alot lately. I am convinced a majority of people here haven't seen him play much during the NBA season.

 

The Bucks looks like a good trade partner.
they dont need more youth.
they need to win

 

So I see this "weak draft" is starting to look a little better now, huh?

 

then send it to the league's office.:grin:

Why would I be in favour of such a deal? Not because I think that Bev is anything special or Capela is going to be a star. But because as far I know from our legit insider there's a very good chance that the Bucks will pay Delly 11+ per as their new starting pg. I prefer Delly to Bev but I think to pry him from the Cavs the price needed may even reach 13-14 per and at that point I don't like that deal at all, so Bev as a placeholder "3+D" pg will suffice until his contract is up. Capela on the other hand even with two less years in his contract doesn't seem much worse than the other prospects at the 10 pick range especially since Poetl may already be gone.
Now if Bender is still available I don't know if I would do that deal.

As for your ideas, for Denver to move up they would need to fall in love with a player. I don't think that anyone at that range will make them to move up. Only if they need the 10 to combine with their other high first to move in range to pick Murray perhaps.

 

I'm a Piston fan and I'd trade the 18th for Beverley in a second. He'd slot in at backup point guard providing defense we don't get from our starter and give us shooting we want. It's their biggest need and he fills it cheaply.

No idea if Houston would deal with Detroit because of the DMo thing, but they are willing to move their pick.

 

Lordy, there is no way Jason Kidd a wants to pay Delly $11 million per season. Maybe 2/11.

 

he doesn't make the decisions anymore and every decision he has made so far regarding pgs has shown that he's a idiotic gm. That's why he has lost most of his decision making powers. The pg needed is a 3+D pg who must play off the ball that's why Delly as rumoured is the most likely choice.
The Bucks and Rockets actually need exactly the same kind of pg.

 

If we could get 18 for Bev, that deal will get done as long as Maker is still on the board.

 

Delladova at $10+ million a season? Wow. I like the guy but wow..

 

It's insane.

 

he's a rfa that's why and the pg class this year is incredibly poor. My source actually is our insider. He said that the most likely signings is Delly and Teletovic.
10 per is not that bad. But if it goes to 13 or 14 per then I'm against that signing.

 

Last chance to get out of paying the tax. Of course, they're going all in on a draft night trade.

 

I'm not criticizing you or your source, far from it. But why do that when they can save money and go after a better PG on 2017? Delladova can't be the player that puts them over the top right? And if Cleveland matches any offer for him? Lol wow are they crazy.

 

it's not exactly a magnet for FAs. Especially since the pg who is going to sign there will not have the ball in his hands as much as in other teams. The reason to offer that much is so as the Cavs won't match. They only have until 2018 to spend money because after that around 61 million a year will go to only 3 players, if everything goes well.
Now if they could get G.Hill with the 10th pick it would be better but even he expires next summer. Other than that there are very few options available that fit the criteria needed for the team, same as with the Rockets. There are very few pgs who are 3+D and can play off the ball.
Who from 2017 would even want to go sign in Mil to play off the ball?

 

Clint Capela - Early first round
Trevor Ariza - Mid first rounder
Patrick Beverley - Mid-Late first rounder
Corey Brewer - Pollo Loco 2 for 1 deal
KJ McDaniels - Late first rounder
Montrezl Harrell - Late first rounder
Sam Dekker - Expired half eaten bag of Dorritos

 

How off the ball do you want? Honest question.

 

Clint Capela - - mid-late lotto
Trevor Ariza - - late 1st
Patrick Beverley - - late 1st
Corey Brewer - - mid-late 2nd
KJ McDaniels - - latter 1st
Montrezl Harrell - - latter 1st
Sam Dekker - - latter 1st

Of this list, IMHO, Brewer and Harrell are least likely fits under new regime.

I think KJ and Sammy D might just become solid rotation players in this system.

I think the #1 candidate to be dealt for a respectabl-ish pick is Ariza. I believe he is underrated, unsung and good rotation quality.

I think the #2 candidate to be dealt for a respectabl-ish pick is Harrell. I believe he is going to develop very nicely into a good rotation quality.

I think Brewer is most likely to be dumped for cap space.

Bev? I dunno what to think. He seems perfect for Knixies (with nothing to offer in return) but imperfect for D'Antoni. Philly for a modest pick return? I could see that mebbe.

BTW - - if Ainge would do Rozier for Harrell (but he won't because he has Jordan Mickey, another Harrell. I like this Rozier. A lot!

 

The last time when the Rockets acquired Brewer,

these players were involved :

Rockets lost Troy Daniels, future second round picks

Rockets gain Brewer, Shved, and Rony Turiaf. Brewer at that time, was having a terrible season in the T-wolves.

That means :

if you want to trade garbge away, you will only get garbage back.

That's exactly what the Rockets having now, majority of its rosters are garbage.

 

Do rescinded/voided picks count?

 

Morey says this every year and every year we come away disappointed. Not this time! I'm not falling for it!!!







Seriously though I think everyone on list except Dekjer, Ariza and Brewer will get you a 1st. Which is all we need.
There will be very good players in the 16-25 pick range. I'm talking the likes of Sabonis(although I think he will replace Davis in the lottery), Prince, Valentine, Ullis, Johnson, Bembry.
