Rockets have been offered a 1st round pick for Thomas Robinson (UPDATE: So much for "imminent")

Fair enough. It ends tonight. I'm dropping it.

 

Who was that kid who was obsessed with Patrick Bargnani and swore that the Rockets wouldn't be able to dump TRob for nothing? Talk about eating crow lol

Morey would probably need to throw in a first round pick to dump Patrick Bargnani's $3 million anchor.

 

Patterson clearly broke into your rotation. Try a petroleum jelly and a icepack the next time.

I'm sorry, he played incredibly for the Kings.

 

This is definitely true. Things can change.

But, we're definitely not going to have to resort to GIVING a first round pick to move Robinson. Absolute worst case scenario would have been receiving a second round pick.

 

Please be Giannis Adeniktembo (i know that cant be the right name at all but you get the idea)

 

Celtics blog suggesting it's their #16 pick.

 

Bring on the Greek Nigerian!

 

Nobody seems to be playing this angle: what does it say about Morey's confidence in our chances for landing Dwight, that he's willing to go ahead with the fire sale of TRob before July 1?

 

If its the 16th pick I hope we can get shabazz

 

We're trying to get International players.

 

This. Hard to believe he'd just salary dump T-Rob unless there was some very good signs a max FA was heading our way.

 

Is Shabazz going to play in Europe next year? The point is to save the cap hit from a first round pick so we can make a max offer to Howard.

 

I'm sure we can afford the best player available our bench is going to be very thin no delfino no Garcia maybe no Greg smith the 16th pick will not hurt out cap room that bad if we choose to pick a nba ready player shuck I think morey will do and you never know morey can flip the player or pick that night for a veteran

 

I doubt it's a top 20( if it is wow), but we all know morey can flip some draft picks or find diamonds in the rough.

Good job morey, keep rolling

 

16th pick? I hope we actually pick the best available...

 

If you or any of us believe this "rumor" by Stein. The last week or two leading up to draft is known as the Big Lie lol, everyone is floating rumors and smoke screens ect. Morey rarely if ever tips his hand. Personally I don't think Morey gives this kid away for peanuts, especially not knowing if the unpredictable Howard is willing to come over to Houston.

 

Rumor has it it's Boston offering the 16th

 

Meh. What's the use if they are going to waste it on a euro player? Nothing to see here.

 

way to think of it on a basic level. it's more of, if they do the deal and draft an international player then morey must think we have a really good chance to land dwight.
