    Taurean Prince at 6'8 24 years old, who can shoot the corner 3 , very good looking form when he shoots, can attack the basket, really can defend.

    Covington would be great, but I can't think of a trade that Minnesota would make with Houston that makes sense. He's in the first year of a very reasonable 4 year contract. They have no reason to give him away.

    Butler
    Beal
    Holiday

    In that order

    How's he doing this season on defense? Because based on last season, his defense was really bad:

    Not on the list... and won't happen... although Austin Rivers kissed and made up...

    But I'd love to see them try and get Blake Griffin.

    It'd be like LAC plus Harden.

    Detroit would basically be having to "give up" on that experiment already.

    Knight + Tucker + EG works. Give them Hartenstein. And this years first.

    Rockets would still have needs, clearly, and still a LOT of it would depend on CP3s health and impact on the court, but

    CP3, Harden, Ennis, Griffin, Capela
    Plus: Rivers, House (signed), Green, Faried, Nene

    Interesting. I personally would like a second star to pair with Harden. A third might be a tad greedy.

    Yeah, i mean, i consider Paul to be an ideal third star at this point cause, assuming he'll get back at his best, there's still the chance he's going to miss a lot of games going forward so, we need another player to kinda slide in his spot and be James right arm.

    I’d trade everyone on the team plus 4 first round picks for Davis and then build the rest of the team with buyout players. Harden and Davis would be unstoppable together. Good thing I’m not the GM and I doubt the Pels would even take that offer.

    Ideally? The Rockets get a player for four first round picks and Knight/Criss and maybe Gordon too. They were willing to "up the risk profile" and go all in for Butler, I'd love to see another player Morey deems worthy of the same offer come on the market. I have no idea who that is and doubt it's likely at all, but that's just my wish.

    Worst case scenario: Rockets trade Knight and pick for an expiring contract. Unless they got back a guy who is super helpful and definitely open to resigning, trading away Knight for an expiring would preclude Rockets from making any kind of trade next year for useful players without trading away rotation players. Makes great financial sense, but not basketball sense.
