    On two conditions, the heat take reed's contract. And filler does not include that scrub chris quinn. If that guy ever come within 5 feet of ever wearing a rockets uni, im gonna shoot myself.

    even with quinn as the filler, i don't think that trade works with the salary cap restrictions. it would have to be rafer for doleac by himself.

    I would have done it before the supposed stabbing. Hell, at this point I'd throw in a second rounder or 2.

    I'd do it even if we did sign Deke.

    Edit: I'd even take Howard back for Rafer, Reed and Lucas

    Doleac? No. Anyone that would actually help us? In a heartbeat at this point.

    No way. I'd rather have the rockets resign Tsakalidis.

    I would be happy to give rafer away for a TE and then let it expires to save some capsroom for the team. Same applies to Reed and LucasIII. Though I don't know who are interested in these guys and with capsroom to generate a TE for us.

    Rafer has some trade value. Doleac doesn't. Rafer can play, in the very least, decently. Doleac can't. Rafer has skills no other player in the roster has (bricking threes included). Doleac hasn't.

    My three paths for Rafer:

    Trade in a package for a better player
    Trade for a decent young prospect
    Trade for picks

    Doleac has an expiring contract, plays the high post position as a center, he is already more valuable to the Rockets than Reefer.

    so, uh....yes.

    No, the best we can hope for is going to be to trade an asset with Rafer for an expiring. No one is giving a decent young prospect for a guy with this much baggage and they sure as hell aren't going to give a better player.
