[Woj] Rockets plan to trade Thomas Robinson

Would be nice to get a lottery protected 1st.

 

Beat me to it. Hmm. That was a thought, but who would have actually told him this?

 

SPLASH

Good bye Thomas Robinson.

Hello late first round/second round pick.

 

Poor dude...could be traded twice in his first year in the league. That's rough.


But Dwight is the ultimate prize

 

Does this mean Morey believes DH wants to/will come to Houston?

 

Not sure how to feel about this, but I do hope that TRob picked up good things from the coaches during his recent practices.

I kind of like all of the Rockets PFs, for different reasons, and would hate to see any of them go before they hit their ceiling. But honestly, just based on salaries, trading TRob would let the Rockets keep more of the other players. So there's that.

 

This just tells me that the Rockets plan pursue Dwight. Nothing more, nothing less… You can’t pursue someone you don’t have room to sign, right?

 

Doubt it means that...

 

Trob a beast in 2k13. Putbacks for days!

 

Woj is the man

 

Front Office ppl and GMs lie

 

You could wait til DH gives verbal confirmation to trade away Robinson.

 

Does this mean that the Rockets don't think the salary cap won't rise enough? I was hoping it would rise to, say $60.5M so that we just needed to free up around $1.5M cap space and could keep TRob. and get rid of someone else (eg, Greg Smith, Olbrecht).

Also, wouldn't we wait to trade TRob until AFTER Dwight confirms that he's willing to come to HOU? Why take the risk in advance?

Finally, wouldn't we be targeting a second rounder or a first rounder in a later year, because a first rounder in the current year would have a cap hold?

 

Damnit, I was really wanting to see TRob make it under us.

 

If we do it will be for the 2014 draft I hope

 

I wonder what kind of value we'll get back. Since they are trying to clear cap space, obviously gonna be for a pick.
