[Official] 2017 NBA Trade Deadline Deals and Rumors Thread

Do you even NBA?

 

That was true when most teams had big man stoppers in the middle. I think things will swing the other way a bit in the years to come as big men in the post find themselves defensed by small-ball big men that cant stop them in the post.

 

Can we do something already. Or can any other team do something. It's getting really boring.

 

Can the Rockets make something like this work?

 

His salary is 21 mil this year and next. Would they WANT to make it work. That's a lot to take on when you have James, Ryno and EG10 already on hefty deals.

Would hamper their FA ability in the offseason. Would Morey want that?

 

No to Lopez

 

Seems like not a lot of teams are looking for a center now lol

 

So the solution is Okafor??

 

i was referring to what seems to be the problem as is with their current team. Bringing in a single player isn't going to change a team defensively just like that. It could just be a team thing. Indy no longer has that identity that they've had in the past. As mentioned earlier, it could just possibly be a move to bring in talent for PG.

 

Thanks for that info. I guess it doesn't make too much sense. I just really feel we need a legit 7 footer to crash the boards but definitely not at the cost of getting rid of our flexibility for this upcoming offseason.

 

Look for Tiago Splitter to potentially get moved. Splitter’s on an expiring contract that’s entirely covered by insurance this season, according to a league source.

I think he would be a welcome addition to the Rockets if this report is true. at least for a look to next season

 

A 7 footer to crash the boards? And you want Brook Lopez?

DRUMMOND TO BOSTON?!

 

Hurry! Go fleece Magic Johnson for Lou Williams, Nick Young, Thomas Robinson or even Tarik Black!

 

man if we could get brolo, that would be the ultimate 3 point barrage team lol

bev/harden/ariza/anderson/brolo and 3pt champion EG!

 

It looks like the Celtics don't need Avery Bradley (they gotta lock up IT, Smart taking over role, they have high pick in guard heavy draft) so we should try get him. He's a slightly better and younger Patrick Beverly. Also, paired with Ariza, Bev, and Bradley you could go small with a nice 3 & D lineup.

 

Yikes.. Just pulled up his stats. Didn't realize he was rebounding so poorly lol I think the Rockets lack size. It aggravates me when they play against teams with big guys and it looks like they have no shot at any rebounds. Maybe doing a better job of boxing out or even just "wanting" the rebound a lot more would help but who knows. Another thing is having the option to have someone score in the post. When the Rockets are not hitting the 3, they tend to lose more often than not. You can ask guys like Harden and Gordon to attack the basket, but you can only do that so many times a game before you get tired out.
