Imagine attaching him to the Tucker for Gary Harris. I feel like the return would be really big. Maybe RJ Hampton. Bol Bol and a FRP
Imo PJ has some good value because he’s a potential buyout candidate . If we didn’t get a certain price for him (or have to take back too pricy a contract) would Tilman prefer to work a buyout and save $ ? Do you risk losing Pj on the buyout market or pay the rockets price / get the guys we want ?
His value is he's a large expiring. If a team can get off a bad contract and get Tucker as well? It's going to completely change the return.
Yes, but did you read the part about teams fear not seeing the Rockets players long enough. And I throw in Exum? Who even we haven't seen enough of. Sorry, I thought it was funny at the time. I'll crawl back into my cage.

I wonder if maybe someone's crossed the signals. If Tucker is part of an Oladipo trade. Stone would know Tucker won't net a young decent player.
Package PJ with BenMac. Ben's shooting will come around on a contender, and he will complement PJ's defense and rebounding. Add a 2nd round pick too, if needed. I hope Morey will give up Korkmaz in return. I do admit that the chances of this happening are low.
I dislike talking anything Rockets trades because Rockets will take until the list millisecond before deadline to make any sort of deal. What angers me the most is it sounds like Rockets will "showcase" the vets more and wont be playing the young guys. Sounds like its more of the same hair pulling games that I cut off after the first quarter or so.
I don't disagree that this may end up being what we get, but teams literally pay cash to get into the second round. Adding someone like PJ to a team planning on a deep playoff run should try for more, but at minimum get back a 2nd round pick.
You ever heard the term "dont mess up some fuh sho, for some mo"? Or a "bird in the hand beats two in the bush"? I dont think other teams are going to go all out to get PJ at this point. There are only a couple of teams that could use him and most of those teams dont have a lot of assets or young players to give away for him. I think we will end up with a 2nd round pick for him pretty soon. Once the season kicks off again we may see those contenders ramp up the action. I think Boston could be a dark horse in trades. They had title aspirations but seem to be fading and now that James is in NJ they know they need to make a move to get back on track in the east or have another failed season.
We don't have to trade him until the deadline, so why trade him this second? I don't think NBA GMs should function with the thought "that's the least we should get, so take it".
Maybe... he's an expiring contract that contending teams would love to have. Same with dipo. If they want him they have to give or we let him expire until the end. Next season tax free texas with cap space might not be a bad place to be.
1) If the player has this year and next, they could absolutely be useful. Randle was a 13ppg player shooting 27% from the 3pt line the last year of his rookie deal. I'd sure like to have him now.
