I think he and Tuck are being sucked down by present team circumstances. And in need GMs know this, too. (I’ve told’m.)
I honestly don't expect much but if we get some good deals for the guys that needs to go I'll be ecstatic Tucker, Oladipo and Gordon IMO need to go. Oladipo is a nice human being, but has been garbage playing and it feels like he wants to be somewhere else.. House, McLemore dont care if they are traded...I'll rather have Green back..
honestly , I can see both sides . We can play any outcome how we want to . We play vets and suck and we trade them ... well kpj , and Km ..“ y’all just saw what we do with bad players , ship em out.” we play well and trade ? Boost our young guys confidence “we were winning and we think y’all can be better” id like to see those 2and be a part of a disciplined team for a week or two . we are getting a little too focused on KPJ and KMJ right now . It’s not like we are adding two top 10 picks right now . Kpj has been around , is on his path and is a good prospect, but not a top 5 pick guy . (Doesn’t mean he can’t turn out great ) they aren’t the faces of our franchise yet . Right now that’s Wall ... jk I mean wood . injuries have really ****ed the rockets (fire Keith Jones ?) for our team as currently constructed to gel and for guys to feel like we have a chance and put in effort .. we needed Wood and health from Pj and Gordon and dipo and wall . When you don’t have a superstar at the top , your depth is even more important . of course teams want to see more from Gordon and dipo , look at how we are viewing then as rockets fans . Best case scenario is kpj and kmj help provide some depth and help us win and those guys look better . If wood is back , could be a real possibility too . we lost cousins . We are probably helping pj by resting him up . wall/Gordon Dipo/Kpj Nwaba/house Tate/kmj Wood/patton you can play small and use brown over Patton. Mix and match , of course . Throw in PJ here or there if he wants a tune up game . it’s possible dipo and wall and Gordon are ass . But with kpj / kmj/ and Wood you pair them with some stronger finishers . it’s not gonna kill KPJ if hes allowed to focus on defense instead of immediately being thrown into the fire and handed playmaking duties . wall is likely untradeable. Might as well put as strong Of a team as possible out there . At least before the deadline . That way you can at least threaten that you’re going to try to re-sign oladipo / keep Gordon and wall and try to be a playoff team next year . I haven’t exactly looked at our OKC trade Terms in a while, but it’s possible we don’t try to outright tank the next 2 years . If it’s protected swap and protected 1st then maybe we try to tread water for the next 2 years and then (with whatever other assets we’ve gained ) hit the reset . We’d have nets picks at least .
Sucks but it's not shocking tbh, personally i'm fine with pretty much whatever we can get, i mean, PJ and Dipo will bolt anyway, and for different reason there's no point for us to keep these guys going forward so, uf we can just get 50M in cap space and some decent assets, i'd be fine with that.
Miami can offer Oladipo 25.7m million per year by renouncing everyone except Nunn and Robinson. There’s only a couple of young guys like Chris Silva and Gabe Vincent they might have otherwise wanted to keep. Sounds like Oladipo would want more but he also clearly wants to play for Miami.
He's appeared a couple'a times recently, did you know? https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/...ade-deadline-move.310710/page-3#post-13459459 ....The Vic/Ego chat is there, but also know that PJ is on the wish list of every contender. I'm hearing that the Rockets will likely do him a solid, as they should. Ego will be moved, but not necessarily with the same "respect" PJ warrants. House is thought of in a package...not much interest. BennyMac has some interest as well for teams looking for some shooting. JW is appreciated and loves Htown. But same thing...the chatter is about not wasting good, healthy years as a vet on a team that has little direction for now. Tuck has been talked about with Denver quite a bit to improve their depth and strength to help with Joker, but also with Philly. (DM likes "his guys"..even DH). I hope Wood heals up, but there is no rush. Hit the weights and strengthen the legs before anything. .... https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/rumor-mill-trade-talks.310731/page-5#post-13461597 Denver really wants Tuck, as does LA with the Brooklyn addition of Blake. Dipo shouldn't be the first to go, but he may based on the skills teams are looking for and injury insurance. Clips/ Knicks/ Heat /Bucks have interest.
The comment about a young player coming to the end of his rookie deal for Tucker is interesting. Heat: Duncan Robinson Lakers: THT Bucks: Divencenzo Nuggets: none Nets: Claxton Philly: none
Tilman? If the Heat give up Duncan Robinson for PJ Tucker there will be riots. I'm looking more at Kevin Knox or Frank Ntilkina if we are purely going off expiring deals.
I understand that and hope you're right. My thought is they would be reluctant to cough up him or Herro in an Oladipo trade and I definitely couldn't see it in a PJ trade.
Miami would have to give up SOMEthing. Don't know what it is. If you go to realgm boards you'll see Heat fans treating Precious and Herro like Stockton-and-Malone in waiting: "I'd give a 2nd rounder for Oladipo, at best!"
