Who will the Rockets acquire between today and Thurs Feb 19?

Way too many threads on this topic. Yaawwnn

 

Gibson?

 

Morey pushing hard for Rubio. Wants him more than Dragic.

 

I don't buy this one bit. The last thing we need is an inept shooter.

 

I think we are going to get Bayless and Dudley. Add a solid back up and another shooter.

Plus, it happened in MyCareer in 2K so it has to happen. (We gave up Pap and a 2nd Round pick so maybe Pap and the NY 2nd? lolol)

 

I feel like you and Plowman have been wrong all year. We will see I guess

 

I voted for somebody else.

I think the Dwight injury necessitates the need to acquire another big body. Likely somebody young, tall and athletic that can play a DeAndre Jordan type role. John Henson is a name that comes to mind. I'd consider this to be the most likely move.

That said, I'm still desperately hoping we can acquire another playmaker to help cut down the TO's and lighten Harden's load. Dragic and Lawson are the two names that come to mind. Collison is another player that would help us and has a reasonable contract.

I also must admit that I'm very much intrigued by the thought of adding Isaiah Thomas. Yeah, he's tiny and a defensive liability, but this kid has moments where he's literally unguardable. Could be a nice addition to help fortify our bench. Much like Dragic, it will all depend upon which direction Phoenix chooses to go at the trade deadline.

I'll pass on: MCW, Avery Bradley, George Hill, Mo Williams (unless he's filler), Calderon, Jarret Jack

 

Most guys in the poll aren't going anywhere.

Lawson is one of the few building blocks the Nuggets have. If they give him up, you'd have to take one of their bad contracts & the Rockets don't have room for those anymore.

The Suns aren't giving up Dragic when they have a great shot at the playoffs.

Dudley doesn't solve the issue of a guy who can play point & create shots for other guys.

Calderon is the one guy who you'd think is very available. He's at 42% from 3 & he can drive & dish. Shouldn't cost more than Kostas & a draft pick.

I don't think DM needs to give up a major rotation piece for another major rotation piece. I'd like to keep Bev as a bench guy & rotation player.

Calderon makes 7 mill next yr & the yr after. He's not expensive enough to where the contract is an albatross. He's still good enough where you could deal him in the offseason if he prevents you from keeping a significant piece.

 

Little known fact: Ty Lawson appears to have been a Rockets fan growing up. Note his favorite player: T-MAC!

Here's his Reddit AMA where he says this:

Why would Sactown trade their starting point? The guy they kept over Isaiah Thomas, a very nice point guard, who ended up in Phoenix? Am I missing something? (wouldn't be the first time)

 

None of the fantasy targets.

[Rubio, Rondo, Dragic, Bledsoe, Lawson or any PG discussed in the Cybersex thread]

 

See my sig

 

It will be a point guard. Bev is gone.

He lost "it" whatever that made him a 2nd team all defense guy.

And not can't shoot either.

Who?

Don't know.

Unless they promote Cannan but that would be unusual seeing that the guy is DNP all the time.

 

Give me Prigioni, Calderon, Bayless, Jack. Anyone with two legs and some PG skills.

 

Hell, at this point I would welcome Lance Stephenson with open arms...

 

Dragic and Lason would be dream trades....Caulderon, MCW, or Collison would be great second choices....no complaints here.
