    Dragic will get abused on switches, no. The Rockets need a Eric Bledsoe type guy

    These off seasons have become tiresome.

    The Rockets like JJ and Josh.

    Winslow doesn't fit what the roster is working to be, and he's overrated. Streaky, and while I like his defense, he would get in the way of Tuck.

    Goran isn't interested in playing in Houston. That's known.

    You clearly didn't get the @basketballholic newsletter on Winslow! :p

    As a small-ball 5 we have talked about JJ a lot. I don't see the Heat moving Josh Richardson. Heck, they didn't move him for Butler.

    Two players Miami won't trade unless they get back a superstar are Bam and Richardson, not sure what they think about Winslow, but for the right price and as a plan B to a star i'd still like to get him, we don't have a SF who can rebound and create, we could definitely use him even though i don't know what is his ceiling at this point, the contract is ok.

    Why would you trade PJ? It's like the Celtics trading Smart or Warriors trading Draymond. You need identity players and we got that with Tucker.

    Suns interested in Chris Paul for #6 & fillers?!
    Heat interested in Chris Paul?!
    Bulls came close to trading for Chris Paul!
    Lakers could have interest in Chris Paul if they strike out!


    Nice job by Morey to try and drum up interest. ;)

    He should sit the year first. Then demand a trade.

    Not sure I get how Winslow wouldn’t fit here.

    A 3&D guy with playmaking skills would fit anywhere.

    Dragic would be a decent fit. More importantly we would have more cap space to sign better players.

    Rockets like Winslow. He fits with PJ just like Iggy fits with Draymond. And Winslow loves htown.

    Doesn't Winslow have a Poison Pill contract? Tougher to trade. Not impossible. But tougher.

    Great fit how? He will get abused on defense. He's also sporadic & out of control at times

    Because he is the same age as Paul. Move out the old, bring in the new.

    I could see Josh Richardson fitting in well in Houston and I've always liked James Johnson, but I can't help but think that JJ is declining. We also seem to have a problem rebounding the ball and JJ doesn't really rebound that well. Is he one of these guys that earns rebounds for his team without getting the rebound number for himself?

    (I should probably disclose that my personal feeling is that rebounding is our number one issue we need to address in the offseason.)

    Do you know the difference between "decent" and "great"?
