Woj: Houston will be open to trading pick for player to accelerate rebuild

pick one

 

What about trading back a bit to say #4 but get good young role player or say #1 pick next year, like the Atlanta-Dallas trade a few years ago?

I'd say there are bigger questions/concerns about Mobley, Green or Suggs, than there were about pre-draft Luka/Trey.

 

I wouldn’t want to trade back just for future draft capital. I think we have enough, haha.

Your other option is interesting, though. Any thoughts on what that might look like? I can only think of Sexton and 3 for 2 or OG and 4 for 2.

 

I'm sure KPJ would love another chance to play next to Sexton

 

Rather have Luka if possible. How is that even a question?

 

The only player I'd trade the #2 pick for is Luka nobody else!

 

Wait, trade a random maybe allstar player, maybe bust that we must coach for years to see results for a sure thing upcoming all-star? What would be bad about that?

 

Im right with you. I cant remember being this depressed about the Rockets. Getting the #2 helped and then I remembered who is running this mess.

 

Trade it. Keep biding time until we have real management.

 

Have you seen the playoffs?

 

This talk of trading the pick means that Tilman just saw the base salary level for 2nd overall pick in the draft?

"What? I would pay $7/hr for someone in their first job. Stone, trade it"
"But, Mr Ferntits, this pick is good and ... "
"Shut up and listen"

 

People on here thinking we are getting Luka, need to wake up Dallas is not trading him. We will not get equal value for this 2nd pick in the draft. Who would be available? Some fringe all star player who can’t be the face of a franchise? B level talent…

 

This would be the dumbest move possible so I fully expect Tilman to go that route

 

If that Dallas guy is available for the #2, why wouldn't Detroit make the trade from #1?

 

It would be the dumbest move ever if we trade this pick for a veteran star player like Beal or something. The literal dumbest move ever.

I think it's just postering. I have no doubt someone from Houston leaked it to Woj because they want to see if someone gets really crazy like say...trade Zion or Ja Morant...otherwise they aren't REALLY considering it. Any good FO would be open to taking offers of course.

I feel like there are two rumors for every draft in any sport...

"The projected #1 pick might not go #1 after all!"
And
"Some team in the top 5 is looking to trade down"

Both of these rumors are usually just postering and teams trying to find all their options.

 

Correct.

 

I’d trade back to 3 or 4 for some extra compensation because I’m not seeing a big difference in any of these top guys. That’s about it. Luka isn’t being traded to Houston and I can’t think of any current attainable player I’m interested in.

 

Hardaway Jr?

Are you crazy?!?!?!?!?!!??

 

Insulting Tilman deserves a like. What is wrong with you people?
