Random Houston Rockets Trade Ideas - 2012-13

Too bad Eric Gordon is making $13; $14; $14; $15 over the next 4 years because i would love to see him in the back court alongside Harden. Don't think we have enough salaries that we could tie to Lin to package without taking back salary and losing one of our key guys.

This would be a pretty sweet line-up though:

P.G. - Harden
S.G. - Gordon
S.F. - Parsons
P.F. - Jones
..C. - Howard

Oh well, one can only dream.

 

It'd be fun for 3-4 games until he inevitably gets hurt like always

 

You're right about that!

 

CJ McCollum would be a great fit next to Harden in the backcourt.

We could flip Asik to Sacramento for him and Jason Thompson (or someone lesser if they don't want to add him)

 

Would KG for DMO and/or Greg Smith and a draft pick work? Not sure of the effect cap wise, but for a young team on the rise, KG seems to be the perfect addition. He can be a mature and stabilizing presence since young teams tend to go up and down, especially mentally. He can also be the defensive leader they so sorely lack. He can also be the bridge between Mchale and the other players.

I know he is getting on in years but his biggest contribution even if its just for a year or two would be teaching, and that's invaluable for this growing team.

 

Doubt the celtics do that, and I think I'll pass on KG, unless we are in win now mode. (probably are if we sign DH)

 

IF Dwight comes to houston,

Asik, Terrance Jones, D-Mo, 2014 1st rounder for Aldridge.

 

Think I already posted this but...

Asik 8.73 mil
Thomas Robinson (or 19th/20th pick 2013) 3.5 or 0 mil
Brooks? 2.5 mil
T Jones 1.5mil
2013 #34 pick
2014 top 3 protected pick
2014 2nd rounder

For
Lmarcus Aldridge 13 mil
Will Barton 600k

Again, asik is 1-2 years younger. Blazers need a Center..

Blazers roster
Lilliard 22 / brooks 28
Matthews 25
Batum 21 / T jones 22
JJ hickson 21 / Robinson 21
Asik 26

Rockets
Lin 24 /Beverly 23
Harden 23 / Barton 21
Parsons 24 / Delfino?
Aldridge 27 / Montiejunas 21
Howard 27 / smith 21

We could sign vet mins w/ MLE: I.e dalembert.. Same thing what heat did

 

I'd also consider trading rights to Llull, Furkan, or any other assets we have as well.

two first rounders to boston from houston

 

Is Gibson an option at PF, if we get both Dwight (FA) + CP3 (Sign and trade J-Lin and Asik). He was pretty efficient on the court last year.

 

since theres a fire sale in boston. i think rondo is on the market too. would he be a good fit with harden cp25, stretch 4, and d12? i know he cant shoot the 3 but still

maybe lin and asik and draft picks for rondo?

 

Anyway SAC would take Jeremy Lin for Jason Thompson?

 

Or Kevin Love.

 

If we get Howard

Matthews would be great off the bench, can substute from positions point guard, sg and sf with great of the ball movement and man to man defense which meshes with Harden perfectly.

I'm also a big fan of Meyers Leonard, great backup for Dwight.

 

I think Portland will reject any project from West Coast team
like Aldridge more than Dwight

 

assuming we get howard....

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ng2emdm

rondo
harden
parsons
millsap or smith
howard

 

Please everyone. Just stop with the ESPN trade machine.
...it's gonna overload with bull****

 

If the Rockets acquire Howard:

Boston Celtics Fire Sale

With DocRivers out the door and soon to be Pierce and Garnett, it is obvious that they are in full bore rebuilding mode. We may just be able to snag Rajon Rondo. I think we may be able to get him via a trade involving Lin and possibly picks. A back court of James Harden and Rajon Rondo along with Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons will make us surefire contenders.
