Rumor: Rockets could trade #14, #23 to Milwaukee for #10

Jan Vesely, Kawhi Leonard, Bismack Biyombo or Jonas (in that order) should be targets if one happens to fall. Jonas would be second if it wasn't for his buyout situation.

 

Kind of suspect that it says "rockets will" as opposed to "rockets are in talks to" or "rockets have"... then again i'm a pessimist at heart.

 

but couldnt the rockets trade their 8th pick for josh smith!?

 

If that's the basis for the "blurb" "rumor" whatever it is, that's "old news" around here. Still not official, or anything close to it.

 

Wow,

Give up two first round picks to move up four spots. Who do they believe is that much a game changer (that would be available at 10) to be worth two other first round players. Comments please on who you think this player is and will he be an asset for another trade?

 

Maybe they traded for the 10th pick for a bigger trade.

 

8th pick?

 

I really hope so

 

10th pick is a much better asset than 14th and 23

 

ok, great

at least we have a target now

I'm happy :grin:

 

I wonder what our "asset", Jordan Hill, is worth in this year's draft. Would sure like to trade him for a do-over ...T-Will too.

 

8th???

Yes... And maybe their 3rd pick, a unicorn, and a container of fairy dust for Dwight Howard.

 

Clutch, save us from frivolous rumors! What do you know? Is this true?

 

So who does that mean we're targeting? Or does it mean we package 10 and a player(s) for a vet or an even higher pick?

 

Wouldn't it of been easier to tank the 2nd half of last season to get a better pick?

 

We better not move up to block Jimmer or Montejunas from the jazz.

 

Morey does great with his draft picks so I would hesitate to pull the trigger on trading 14 and 23 to move up only 4 spots. If it was 8 however, I believe that would be fair.

 

You don't know that for sure, alot depends on the team we are trading with and who they want. I could understand if you said a top five pick though.

 

The best part of the deal is it would give Morey even more time to improve his pick. What if he nabs the 8 for 10 and 38. Alot of different ways to go. Hopefully he can close this tonight.

 

I feel Like Morey will disappoint.
