Porzingis for Oladipo Dallas gets a more reliable Robin for Luka and/or the ability to clear up cap space and go big game hunting We roll out the new age Twin Towers
Minnesota is going nowhere... what about? To Houston: Karl Anthony-Towns Jarret Culver To Timberwolves: Dante Exum Eric Gordon PJ Tucker 4 #1 picks 2 pick swaps PG Wall SG Oladipo / Brown / McLemore / Culver SF House / Tate PF Wood C Anthony-Towns / Cousins May need to flip a swing guard for a backup PG... Still can play all 5 out.... Minnesota can flip Tucker for a pick and use a backcourt of Russell/Gordon and hope Edwards develops...
depends on how pissed Luka gets at Porzingis chunking up shots outside the flow of their offense - Dallas has lost 6 in a row so they have some motivation to shuffle things up. Maybe Porzingis could net more than 'Dipo, but he is on a max deal for several years and has a nightmarish injury history.
Holy ****. Would never happen but. Love. Haha and this is from someone who is adamant that Wood play the 5 spot
No, it isn't the salary cost at all. The Rockets would rather have a #1 pick but a LOT of teams have traded number ones over the last few years and most of the teams that dealt them are contenders and those are the teams that value Tucker. So the Rockets are not trying to limit their possible market for Tucker and are letting it be known that they would consider 3 second round picks.
Yeah I would trade the Portland #1 pick for him and move Wood to power forward. Boucher is older than people think but he has tremendous upside and is very, very long. There are a few centers the Rockets can target if they choose to move Wood to the 5..... Mitchell Robinson has a lot of ability and is young, Thomas Bryant has a lot of upside, Mo Bamba
Cavs rather move Love or Drummond instead. Any trade to acquire Nance would require moving Love or Drummond to 3rd team IMO. So Rockets would have to move one of their big salaries to accomplish this. Not likely while Rockets are on this winning streak.
Mitchell Robinson should not be mentioned with Thomas (out for the year ) Bryant or Mo (very smart but raw) Bamba. If Mitch is traded, the fans will burn down the Garden. I learned this quickly during the Russ to Knick rumor saga. He could average 5/5 with 2 blocks and Knicks fans would still declare him untouchable. It's a shame because Lucas has a relationship with him and I would love him next to Wood. Boucher seems untouchable too but I wanted him last year at the deadline. Mitch, Boucher and Wood were my minimum range contract hopes after Clint was traded. It would be wild to get 2 of them.
All three of those guys are good buy low candidates. Mamba is just rotting on the vine, Bryant is out and the Wizards may rather have the Blazers pick. As for Robinson, the head shakes and screaming by Thibs and looks of disgust tell me that the Knicks may be open to dealing him.
If the Rockets get Robinson, I'd be on cloud nine. Bryant making 10 Million and having that injury makes him a no thanks for me. They'd need to attach a pick. I would prefer to get Rui with picks some how. Bamba would be very fun to add.
