(Sportstalk 790) Brian T. Smith : "Only James Harden and PJ Tucker Safe From a Trade"

PJ is "safe" from trades until the right deal comes up and he needs to be included. Let's be real, nobody is safe. Safe in this context just means "not being actively shopped."

Wonder how Kevin Durant's injury last night impacts Rockets off season plans. By my calculation, there are only two true difference-making stars available in free agency (Durant and Kawhi) and one available through trade (Anthony Davis). We'll find out more today, but speculation is Durant has an achilles tear, an injury that takes at least the better part of a year to return from and my bet is Team Durant will not rush back this time. Probably means Durant signs his player option to remain in Golden State. If not, whatever team signs him does so knowing he won't be available until the playoffs at the earliest. Rockets probably weren't getting any additions of the caliber of these three players anyway. I'm in the camp that believes "moving heaven and earth", as one report described what the Rockets would do to get a player the caliber of Kawhi, is only worth it to create cap space in the event that you know you can get a Kahwi, Durant, Davis, now removing Durant from the conversation of course, the most plausible target of these (3) unlikely acquisitions. I wouldn't go so far as to say Durant's injury means no current Rockets will be traded, but I think whatever sliver of a chance the Rockets had for a contender morphing splash off season move just got even narrower than it already was. I don't expect Chris Paul to be moved now. Capela still on the table.

even without durant we couldnt beat the gsw team. so regardless of his injury we need to get better. more so now that he wouldnt be playing next season. the lakers still sucks. kawhi might stay with toronto and NOLA aint giving any clue as to where they wanna ship AD. im really hoping we could get a two way player not under 6'7 in height.
