Random Houston Rockets Trade Ideas - 2012-13

Don't think this would work out, Bobcats had to amnesty T. Thomas to make room for Jefferson, looks like they're taking too much money back.

 

If this thread goes as long as the last one then I can say I'm on the first page.

 

If we have Rubio as our starting PG we would suck..

 

I'm gonna guess that one of those is supposed to be Steph Curry. But still, Seth Curry as a top10 player?

 

As much as Nowitzski Harden Howard intrigues and fits the 2 year window mantra for rockets, cuban will want too much for Nowitzski.

Call me crazy but I wouldn't do Parson+Lin+Asik+Garcia+Beverly + picks + whatever to make numbers work for Nowitzski.

I think Nowitzski and Howard would crowd paint too much and Harden iso and Harden ball handling too much would hurt offense. We would still need a facilitator for Nowitzski Harden Howard.

So as much as I like Nowitzski its a no. Unless cuban wants to take out parsons and one of the guards either beverly or lin..so likely lin stays since cuban probably doesnt want lins contract if he is rebuilding without Nowitzski and cuban wont do Nowitzski for just Asik+Garcia+Beverly+picks.. cuban is a little party pooper for this kind of idea even though Nowitzski is getting old and window for mavs is seemingly closing

 

So you really like Seth Curry then

 

an error sorry. List was done as I thought but might be odd error like that.

so move up carmelo anthony.

 

Steph I meant. haha
yes I think steph is in top 10 power rankings

 

I love that, and I love Kemba, but I don't think think Charlotte is getting enough. Maybe not Toronto either. Take another shot with it being a little more fair. Greg Smith is a weak prospect and Lin is essentially the same as Lowry for more money.

 

any of the following players would be good trade/FA targets for our Hakeem recruiting Howard (on his way to the Hall) to play with Harden in Houston rockets team.

Harris, tobias
Hill, george
Holiday, jrue
Harkless, maurice (just to stick it to royce white, who clowns him on cam)
Horford, al

keep multiplying the coveted 'H' factor until the equation explodes. it's bound to bring a championship to the H.

 

Doesn't matter.. Morey Howard harden are all committed to the starting lineup.. If we do somehow get love or Aldridge.. Than we are in jeopardy of losing Parsons. Can't be too greedy.

 

True.

Here is a list of who I think we should be willing to trade parsons for:

1)Lebron
2)Durant
3)Chris Paul
4)Tony Parker
5)Rubio
6)Derrick Rose
7)Steph Curry
8)Irving
9)Paul George
10)Carmelo Anthony
11)Nowitzski
12)Lillard
13)Aldridge
14)Joakim noah
15)Duncan
16)Cousins
17)Kevin Love
18)Westbrook
19)Deron Williams
20)Rondo

Would you be okay with losing parsons if you got rondo?

 

Also would you be okay with losing parsons for:
Wade
Zach Randolph
Faried
Bosh
Millsap
Blake Griffin
Igoudala
Josh Smith
Gallinari
Harrison Barnes
Tyreke
Ryan Anderson
Ibaka
Monta Ellis
Wade
Gasol P
Gasol M

??

 

Is there any way we could get Tobias Harris? He would be awesome on this squad.

 

Here are the 32 players I would consider trading parsons for.. or be willing to give up parsons for:

1)Lebron*
2)Durant*
3)Chris Paul*
4)Tony Parker*
5)Rubio*
6)Derrick Rose
7)Steph Curry
8)Irving
9)Paul George
10)Carmelo Anthony
11)Nowitzski
12)Lillard
13)Aldridge
14)Joakim noah
15)Duncan
16)Cousins
17)Kevin Love
18)Westbrook
19)Deron Williams
20)Rondo
21)Wade
22)Zach Randolph
23)Faried
24)Bosh
25)Millsap
26)Blake Griffin
27)Igoudala
28)Josh Smith
29)Gallinari
30)Tyreke*
31)Ryan Anderson
32)Ibaka
33)Monta Ellis
34)Wade
35)rudy gay
36)Joe Johnson

 

Also would let go of parsons for something with hibbert. So 37 players I would trade for parsons. At least a solid 30 players I would consider for parsons.

 

way is Wade, Ellis, Joe Johnson and Rudy Gay on anyone's list...

 

Houston In: Greg Monroe
Houston Out: Omer Asik, D-Mo, 2015 1st Round Pick, 2014 2nd Round Pick

Boston In: Omer Asik, Brandon Knight, D-Mo, HOU 2015 1st Round Pick, HOU (from NY) 2014 2nd Round Pick
Boston Out: Rajon Rondo

Detroit In: Rajon Rondo
Detroit Out: Greg Monroe, Brandon Knight

Why Houston does it: Monroe is one of the most underrated young players in the league. He put up borderline all-star numbers the past couple season, and would be a fantastic fit next to Howard. He's a skilled big man that is a fantastic passer and can hit the mid-range to clear the lane up for Howard's power game. Also, Greg Monroe is 23. 23.

Why Boston does it: They are in rebuild mode and have also made it very clear that they need a center and a rock in defense. They get that in Asik. Brandon Knight is a pretty good young prospect at point (8th overall 2011). They get a couple picks as well, which is attractive in a rebuilding phase. (They aren't tanking per se, so getting a piece like Asik is VERY important)

Why Detroit does it: They are clearly trying to win now and have made their interest in Rondo apparent. This is a way to get him without giving up Drummond who's their most prized asset. They have a PF in Josh Smith (potential SF, but he's much better at PF). Rondo makes them legitimate if Drummond comes into his own this year. Otherwise they have zero backcourt. This way they have one of the best floor generals in the league, and he improves their defense which is a clear priority of this team with the moves being made.

I could see this being a fit for all parties. People may think we're giving up too much, but most people over-value our players and don't realize how skewed trades are on this site. Even this might be somewhat skewed. Thoughts? Would this have a shot?

 

okay fine but you have to consider letting parsons go if it meant:
1)Lebron*
2)Durant*
3)Chris Paul*
4)Tony Parker*
5)Rubio*
6)Derrick Rose
7)Steph Curry
8)Irving
9)Paul George
10)Carmelo Anthony
11)Nowitzski
12)Lillard
13)Aldridge
14)Joakim noah
15)Duncan
16)Cousins
17)Kevin Love
18)Westbrook
19)Deron Williams
20)Rondo
21)Zach Randolph
22)Faried
23)Bosh
24)Blake Griffin
25)Ibaka
26)Josh Smith
Whittling it down...

Thats still 26 strong.

That's 26 players that are better than.. or perhaps deserve a strong consideration vs. our number #3 in parsons.

If it means getting any of them it should be a STRONG consideration for trade and INCLUSION of parsons. Parsons has to be on table if you say any of those 26 names.

 

i'd like to add lebron as the 3rd star.

really.
