    We would ONLY trade Ariza if a deal for a STAR player would be in place and agreed to. We are not trading Ariza just to get a shot at someone. What makes no sense for you?

    Myles has talent, but he is a softie. We need a beast with talent, and that is going to be very hard to obtain.

    Respect your opinion Saleem but I'll take Turner over most in this draft, he's got some skills for a 7 footer that very few have and he's so darn young. If the rockets can trade up to get him I wouldn't hesitate.

    If I was another team, I would definitely be interested in both. We've seen what Jones does when he's healthy, the only reason we're not so high on him is because we have Smith and DMo. Jones can play, he can defend well especially out of position, he finishes at the rim, has decent handles... I'd like him if I was another team.

    Points to the fact that they are confident they can get Josh Smith CHEAP.

    This will leave us pretty thin at PF once Josh Smith moves to the 3.

    And even if they did get rid of both for no salary back, they still wouldn't be able to get under the cap for a max offer to either Love or Aldridge. I think they'd love to package both Jones and #18 for better assets, but otherwise will hold on or at least draft and stash. The only realistic way we get Love or Aldridge is S&T and that means Ariza leaves. Hopefully they can hold onto McDaniels and Brewer until those things are finalized.

    Exactly..... I think as fans we've become spoiled or have a "grass is greener" effect most time.......

    I'd be disappointed if we lost jones before we find out what he truly is......

    Yes.

    I would only do it if they threw in Gobert too.

    Think we'd have to give up a little more to swing that trade.

    Jones for the #3. Sounds good to me.

    Why would they move him to the 3 - his biggest successes his entire career has been with him playing the 4 as a mismatch.
