    Good proposed trade. Probably about right on value. Need Koufos to waive that player option.

    Koufas would be solid in exchange for Brewer, Jusuf Nurkic would be my main target. He still has potential to be a beast in the league. He just needs new surroundings. If Morey can pull off a deal for either of these guys and just give up Brewer and a 2nd round pick the Rocket could be a sleeper for the Western Conference Title.

    Boban isn't getting any time in Detroit...... buyers remorse maybe???

    At 7'3" and 7 mil..... seemed to have good hands although slow feet..... but I'd think he could be more useful here right?

    If anyone here understands Hebrew, kostas basically means flying vagina. There is a joke that goes "what do you call a Greek flight attendant?" "Kostas"

    He would look like The Polish Hammer if he shaved his head

    A shiny dome would give Kosta a more polished look.

    Morey letting Tom Thibodeu know that Brewer may be traded. Thibs decides to trade.

    Rox-->Brewer, Ennis
    Minn-->Ty Jones, Muhhamed

    Jones replaces Ennis as backup PG. Muhhamed can play D on the Durant's/Kawhi's/James'.
    Rockets decide we can wait till Clint gets back.

    I've been considering the thought that the Rockets need a "space eater" big man that can rebound and contest shots. He does fit that bill well. He also is a "motor guy" who never seems to take a play off.
    I am not very familiar with his hands though. In this system and playing with James, the big men must be able to catch the ball up high or down low, in some unusual positions when rolling off of the pick. James can see the play develop well before it is initiated however his execution on the pass is very hit or miss. Fortunately, thus far into this season, Capella, Nene, and Harrell, have done an EXTRAORDINARY job of fetching some of these "off-target" passes.
    All-in-all, Brewer has been mostly negative and a liability on both ends of the floor. Therefore, anything we receive with positive value will be an upgrade.

    Rox are 3rd seed right now what failure are you talking about? The only thing Morey failed at is losing weight.

    DMo hasn't been able to sign an nba min contract with another team, how is he a better player when other teams dont even him offer a contract? Dude's back is whack, it doesnt matter how talentef you are if you cant play you suck more than the guy who can play.

    Clearly I'm talking about the failure to add another big man to the team for depth purposes.....which is why they'd be looking to do so now. They had one with Bird rights but they failed to get the deal done so now they are looking to give things up to get a lesser big man for depth with a less team friendly contract. I mean, just read what I wrote, it's obvious that's what I was talking about.

    Solid backup big man who fills a need and plays good defense. Trade him for Brewer? Uh hell yes.

    lol at thinking Brewer is valuable enough to be traded for Koufos. Why would the Kings trade a decent NBA player for a scrub like Brewer. Why stop at Koufos, make the Kings throw in Cousins too.
