Random Houston Rocket Trade Ideas 2020-2021

but is he cooked as a player or he still has gas in the tank I guess is what I’m asking

 

Looks cooked offensively, defensively he's aight.

Maybe doing "more" than standing in the corner and shooting wide open is too much to ask of him because he can't hit a shot to save his life.

I still think he'd be a solid contributor on a contending team where he isn't asked to do anything offensively other than standing around waiting for a 3

 

Just an FYI. Aminu may be done career wise from the leg surgery that developed into complications post surgery.

He has played one game this season for 5 minutes and had a PER of [minus 9.6.].....TOV% [53.2%]

Due $10.2 M by way of player option for next season

I really like the idea of the play in spots .... I'd like it even more if the play in team actually had a shot at winning it all .... instead of getting trounced by a top 1-2 seed.
The talent is just too concentrated on so few teams .... players building superteams rather than franchises drafting well and developing players / rosters over time.
You can look at the rosters before they suit up for a single game and predict the final four teams with a high degree of accuracy and worse yet is that its the same teams (players) for an extended period of time. That sucks as a fan of all but a few teams ...

3 way deal that puts oladipo and ag in nyc.

 

I think he’ll be fine wherever he goes. The entire team is playing terribly.

I’ll take Quickley straight up for Oladipo

 

This year is so short yet long. I more than anxious for a trade. Everyday hoping today is the day. I know it’s coming, but when?

 

Tuesday


Specifically Tuesday at 5:45 pm

 

Burt Steele burner?

HOU in: Gary Harris, Bol Bol, 1 FRP from Denver
DEN in: Oladipo, Collins
ATL in: 2 FRPs from Denver + filler (McL/Nwaba)

Houston turns Dipo’s expiring to an interesting prospect and a first. Harris helps us tank next year.

Denver goes all out with Collins/Dipo adding some defense next to Murray, Jokic, Barton. They still hold on to MPJ and get out of Harris’ contract. 3 FRPs and Bol is a high price if Collins/Dipo only end up being rentals, but it’s a price worth paying for a real contender.

Atlanta turns an expiring who they don’t want to pay into 2 FRPs.

 

It's sad to see that. I always liked his game.

 

Likewise.

 

I would rather Collins for 2 FRPs and swing for the fences.

It's an interesting trade though.

Swapping out Harris for Dipo might not move the needle much for Denver to be honest. Harris is arguably a better defender than Vic, his offense (while not really NEEDED on the Nuggets) has fallen off a cliff though.

 

Here I go again..

For Miami: They get "their guy" well.. the one who's name doesn't rhyme with Madly Seal. It costs them one of their upside guys, a rotation guy and a protected pick. I haven't kept a close eye on the Heat this year, but I'm fairly sure they value Iggy more than Olynyk at this point.

Starting 5 (when healthy): Dragic, Oladipo, Butler, Iggy?, Bam

For Nuggets: They really need some defensive help to get em over the hump. Their best defender is Gary Harris and you can't rely on him to guard anyone over 6'5. Enter PJ. His offense has declined but that won't be a problem for Denver. PJ alone I don't think nets a FRP. Enter Ben McLemore. Who has proven that with spacing, he is a white hot flamethrower.

Starting 5 (when healthy) Murray, Harris, PJ, Milsap, Jokic

For Hawks: They solve the decision they need to make with Collins. They get a guy who has similar upside to Collins coming out of the draft (though vastly different players), plus a couple of FRPs. Not a bad haul for someone they're unsure about paying money for.

Starting 5 (when healthy) Trae, Huerter, Hunter, Precious, Clint

For Rockets: They double down on bigs that can space the floor and add "vertical spacing". The pick n roll between Wood and Collins will be insane. Collins in many ways is the perfect PF for the Rockets. While someone like Nunn would really help with the 2nd unit, I think giving up a first, Olynyk, Precious and Nunn was too much for Oladipo. Olynyk soaks up a bunch of Boogies minutes.

Starting 5 (when - if ever - healthy) Wall, Gordon, Tate, Collins, Wood

 

i like this..altho i think the miami pick should go to houston

 

Did anybody else notice Tucker played a little harder against the Heat?

 

So 1 FRP and Precious for Collins? Hmm.. I dunno. I mean I'd love it haha but don't know if it's enough for the Hawks

 

yea good point...altho he is on an expiring so maybe haha

 

Must be kidding……
