    It's probably set up on conditions... like once the other team sees who is available then they'll pull the trigger.

    Gotcha. No worries. Thought you were talking about T Rob. That's my understanding as well.

    I think SA is high on T Rob.

    Carl Herrera's mind is blown. The team that he has been touting as a dark horse for Dwight and is the model franchise wants his whipping boy.

    I am extremely scared to see Thomas Robinson go, especially If the Spurs want him that badly, Rosas seemed to genuinely like him too.

    Potential defensive stud... Rebounds, defense and athleticism. I wish we could keep him around to be our primary backup PF.

    Meh, even the Spurs make mistakes. Remember this dude?

    They are just interested because the price is likely pretty low. The highest pick they can offer this year is the 28th.

    No. Just because the Spurs think T-Rob has potential to be a star just means they are a possible trade partner is all. I was just wondering if SA have been rumored in connection to the T-Rob trade.

    You know me. I've been leading the Dwight2Houston campaign for the last two months. Of course I want T-Rob gone to free up cap room.

    Your spot on. Popovich still laughing at rockets for drafting Marcus Morris over Kawi Leonard.

    How much was Pop laughing when he gave Luis Scola to the Rockets for nothing?

    Damn you.

    I was just about to post that SA likely beats Miami with the present, over the hill Scola.

    Wait. Weren't you saying a while ago that the rockets were going to have to throw in a draft pick to find a taker for him? Now San Antonio giving up a 28th pick in the first round is considered buying low?

    Well, if we're trading T-Rob for the 28th pick, why don't we just draft Muscala? Green?

    Utah Jazz Might Get Thomas Robinson
    Jun 25th, 2013 at 8:14 pm by Josh HaslamUtah Jazz

    The Rockets are in advanced talks on a cap-clearing trade of forward Thomas Robinson, with a deal potentially “imminent,” a person with knowledge of their plans said on Tuesday. Houston Chronicle
    Teams that might be offering the pick to Houston include the Philadelphia 76ers, Utah Jazz, Atlanta Hawks and Oklahoma City Thunder.-ESPN
    The pick they are talking about is the 14th pick in which the Jazz would give have to give up for last years number 5 pick Thomas Robinson, who was drafted by the Kings then traded away for almost nothing to the Rockets at the trade deadline. The two rumors out there right now is this one and the 21st pick for Jimmer. If this were to happen the Jazz would only have the 46th pick available to them unless they did another trade to grab a pick.

    Shoot, I'd take #14 for Robinson. It'd be a coup.
