[Summer League] Rockets vs Kings : Vegas Summer League Game 3

It'll be fun to watch these youngsters grow up. They're good. I hope we 'll keep them. I'd rather watch them struggle and improve until DM snags a healthy superstar through draft, trade, or free agency. It'd make me sick to lose Parsons or any of this year's lottery kids and have to root for "Orlando West."

 

Just to be real. If Marcus Morris can be a key piece in the trade, all the other teams can trade for DH12.

 

I really like Zoran's tenacity on defense and his ability to attack the rim. He plays team ball and seems to always make the extra pass to hit the open player. He is a lot better than I expected. I thought he was on the summer league squad as a curtsy, but the kid has real NBA potential. His jump shot needs work but the guy should be on the rockets roster this fall. I see him giving this team energy off the bench. Could be a poor mans Manu down the road.

 

86 D12 trade Talks!!!!! He will not sign an extension with this team! Renting him will cause us all of this sweet talent we can build around! I will protest outside of toyota center against d12 trade! This city doesn't want him to play here as much as he doesn't want to play for this city! Who's with me!!!! :grin:

 

Agreed. If we can keep two of the rookies, motie, and still be able to gamble on Howard, then I like our chances of convincing Howard to stay.

I love the way White manhandles other 4's in the post and kick starts our transition game to allow fliers like Motie, Lamb, and Dragic finish with easy buckets.

 

Where will he go?

Thanks in advance.

 

As far as Dwight goes we should offer 1st round pick from the raptors, 1st round pick from Dallas, 2 second rounders from NYK, Martin, Patterson, Morris, and choice of Jones or White + filler. Leave the deal on the table for Orlando to accept at any time this offseason. If they get a better deal from another team then so be it. We should not destroy the future of this team for a rental.

 

bogus trade idea of the night: Fortson, Morris, Toronto Lottery Pick, and Dallas pick for Dwight!... make this happen Morey!

 

I'll second that.

 

Morris isnt a key piece in the trade at all...he's a throw in for salary purposes.

And any player involvement within the trade is pure speculation. Nobody knows anything.

 

truth.

 

A team other than the Rockets. He has already made it known that he doesn't want any part of Houston.

 

You get Dwight here, show him we are a good organization that can build a strong team around him, show him Houston is a pretty good city. Tell him we have enough room to sign whoever he wants. I doubt CP3 leave LA because they have built a pretty nice team around him, but a guy like Josh Smith? Dwight could convince him. Atlanta would be in a similar position, except it would be Dwight taking less money. I don't see that happening. Unless he forces a SnT.

 

My thoughts on tonights game...
Hope machado and zoran make the team i really like they're games.
Forbes did pretty good.
Jones looking more solid ever night.
Motiejunas is still flat out talented.
Whites passing skills and physical tools keep me in awe.
Glad white finally adjusted and had a good game.
Lamb has show he can consistently flat out score, and has great length and athleticism.
Fortson was actually decent tonight but still shouldn't make the team.
and thats about it, great game tonight.

 

Lol...imagine Dwight forcing a sign and trade with Houston...lol

 

No he isn't, he's a young prospect that they can develop.

Okay, name a team that has cap space for him...and then tell me why he would leave Houston, lose almost 50 million dollars, to go sign elsewhere.

And any talk about not wanting to sign an extension anywhere else was to do his best to get himself to Brooklyn this offseason.

He's not going anywhere...or, at the least, Houston has the greatest odds of retaining him if he is traded here.

Its really not that complicated people.

 

the key pieces are our draft picks
