    I'd settle for Durant.

    THT. I've never liked Kuz's game and I think THT has more upside as a ROLE PLAYER than Kuz. I mean guy's got 7'2 wingspan. Imagine throwing him out there with Tate.. we'd have 2 of the best wing defenders in the game for 8 more years.

    Also don't like Kuz's personality, work ethic, and most importantly : haircut.

    What can we get back in return? Probably nothing. Perhaps Philly might be a better trade partner for us.

    He's a solid all around role player and defender NIGHT IN AND NIGHT OUT!

    But seriously, would love to see him on the Brooklyn Harden's so we have a 3rd ex-Rocket on the same team to cheer for.

    I think PJ has still gets you something. His skill set is wasted here. He needs to be on a team that just needs him to defend guys and run to the corner every play and get out of the way to open up the paint and space the floor. Be locked and loaded and ready to knockdown that corner 3 pointer. He doesn’t need any other offensive responsibilities. Dribbling, driving to the basket, dribble hand offs, any passing in general for that matter, etc. Just straight 3 and D. The role he has excelled at here for years.

    If you help the Lakers the NBA will reward you with a high pick.

    Free PJ Tucker!

    In all honesty, we are at the point in this relationship where we are just hurting each other. We need to break up. It’s not you, it’s me. Well it’s a little bit of you too, but I’ve changed and you aren’t what I need anymore.

    The way this team plays does not suit him and it shows. His lack of fit is apparent in the product on the court. He has been more harmful than helpful and has had more bad games this year where he didn’t seem to contribute than any other season I can remember and we’re not even halfway through it.

    This inevitable split is best for all parties involved. PJ back on a contender will look like the PJ of old in my opinion because of the situation and what that team will need from him. We can’t do zero points here from a starter.

    We'll take the best package for us. We really don't even need to trade him. An expiring contract is worth more to us than trading for scraps. This season is over for us. The minute James left to Brooklyn it was over. Now the important thing is to set ourselves up for the future.

    I honestly can’t figure out a trade that works straight up with Lakers that would satisfy both sides. Posted this as most realistic trade in the random trade.

    He's literally out for the year and will be $12M on the books next year. Why in the world would the Rockets want to handcuff themselves there? Only way you do this particular trade is if the MPJ deal that is the #1 priority doesn't require PJ.

    I'd need Claxton and probably 2 SRP

    They can have McLeMore too.

    How good is Claxton as a backup center?

    Dinwiddie has a lot of value . The guy is young and a starter caliber point guard with borderline playmaking ability. Be sure if the Nets were foolish enough to offer him Stone will be all over it
