Trying something new, as much fun as another Aaron Gordon proposal would be... https://tradenba.com/trades/4llWzSjr3 Wiggins' dad was a former Rockets player. He's 25, fits our timeline well. You have to believe at some point the Warriors are going to look to seriously cut their salary down and this would help them do it, while definitely bolstering the team through Thompson's injury year. PJ gets a chance to compete, Oladipo gets a chance to showcase himself on a team that isn't **** grade crap. Wall, Jones-2W Gordon, Porter Jr., McLemore Wiggins, Nwaba, Brown Tate, House, Martin Jr. Wood, Kurucs, Patton-2W IR- Exum, Clemons TBD- Cousins
Another 6'4 player. And he sucks on defense. And is an average 3ball shooter. Herro had ONE short run in playoffs, he was not that great BEFORE or SINCE. No thanks, we need more length, 3ball sniper and/or better defense.
Thought I'd take a break haha but I'm back at it again! Here's my never gunna happen 4x trades all wrapped up in a 5 teamer on the website https://tradenba.com/trades/SagLHblQE So this has a bunch of moving parts. And multiple different trades. Trade 1: Heat get PJ Tucker, Boogie and Oladipo Rockets get Kelly Olynyk, Iggy and Precious Trade 2: Mavericks get Iggy, Ben McLemore, Rodions Kuruks (Kristaps mate) Rockets get James Johnson, 2021 2nd Round Pick, 2022 Second Round Pick Trade 3: Hawks get Precious, Danuel House, 2021 2nd Round Pick from Dallas "via" Houston, 2022 2nd Round Pick from Dallas "via" Houston, 2021 lottery protected FRP from Portland via Houston, 2022 FRP from Milwaukee via Houston Rockets get Kris Dunn, John Collins Trade 4: Wizards get Cam Reddish, Bogdan Bogdanovich, Tony Snell, 2021 2nd Round Pick from Dallas "via" Houston, 2022 2nd Round Pick from Dallas "via" Houston, 2021 lottery protected FRP from Portland via Houston, 2022 FRP from Milwaukee via Houston, 2022 FRP from Atlanta. Hawks get Bradley Beal ‐------------------------------------------------- Line ups (all when healthy)... Miami line up: Dragic, Dipo, Butler, Tucker, Bam Atlanta line up: Trae, Beal, Hunter, Precious, Clint Mavericks line up: Luka, Seth, THJ, Iggy, Kristaps Wizards line up: Russ, Bogdan, Reddish, Deni, Bryant Rockets line up: Wall/Dunn Gordon/Brown Tate/Nwaba Collins/Johnson Wood/Olynyk Also for us, that's a bunch of money coming off the books that you throw at Collins. Also not to mention KPj and KJ Martin, who could be called up. Having Collins (theoretically), Wood, KPj and Tate locked up for the next few years is *chefs kiss*
https://tradenba.com/trades/URJgI0vOK Reduce future capspace by about 7 million per year and take a flyer on a former lottery pick on a rookie contract
C'mon now D, KPJ and Herro could be our backcourt of the future. Both young, skilled and cheap. That one run was his rookie year--he's averaging 17/6/4, that's not exactly s soph slump. His advanced stats aren't great, but again he just turned 21 last month and MIA as a team has had problems this year. If one of them doesn't develop, then we move on without a lot of loss. Oladipo is fool's gold, expiring and likely our most value trade chip we'll be able to move--we'll likely not get a legit asset without some kind of baggage. I know you want AG, but unless its a 3-way I don't think we have the assets they need. Oladipo needs to go somewhere he can be the 3rd option and fit within their system. Miami seems like a perfect spot. NYK is someone that could help us swing a 3-way with ORL, to get your guy. The anticipation is killing me, trying to be patient as we have some days before Vic can be bundled and that's one of the thing Stone is likely waiting on (as well as Dipo actually playing decently).
I'm with D here. I'd rather keep Wall. It may come back to bite me, but I really think Wall is the vet PG a "rebuilding" team could use. Has a chip on his shoulder, competes at both ends. The culture should start with this guy, and be backed up by Gordons calmness and head down kinda basketball.
Then send Herro, House and Olynyk to Magic. AG and Bamba to Rockets. Dipo to Heat. https://tradenba.com/trades/C5NOhZ5mn Every team happy now? Herro is fool's gold IMO and he would be a luxury for the Rockets anyway. Rockets are overloaded at guard. Rockets need to upgrade starting 4, this is critical.
Wall isn't making any difference to the bigger trajectory of the team. We are finishing bottom 10 no matter what. Kemba has a chance to bounce back on a team where he can be the alpha dog and can only increase in value
Not following Kemba, but is he ever going to be 100% again, and for how long? He is def on minutes restriction/load management this season. Rockets just do not need more injured 30 year old players, especially to rebuild around. And Porter is better than Langford. Mase and BT might already be better too. And I agree with you on Wall but if we are going to trade him then let's find players of need rather than more players under 6'5. Healthy players would be better too.
