    cyberx, why would the Rockets go after Rondo? It doesn't make any sense to me.

    Since our pick will suck, I'm fine with moving it. Late first aren't as good as early seconds

    This...

    Morey is not taking back any contracts beyond next year because he wants to preserve cap space unless we get a star. The only possible star available is Rondo and the Rockets are not dealing Parsons and the Celtics are not taking anything else from the Rockets.

    Lin and Asik are not being dealt because they are better players than what we will get in trade due to their balloon payments next season.

    At best we get a bench, rotation player.

    For the ones claiming to skip class or staying up late and what not, fools.
    Rondo thing has no traction. Would celtics give the rockets rondo? Yes, if parsons is included. Is parsons on the market? No. End of discussion

    Are we allowed to trade our first? Didn't we give last years up? And the rule is you have to have one every other year?

    Well that settles it, in no way should we trade Parsons.

    Love's not going to hit free agency. The Rockets need to try to replace Lin with a better asset at least one that can get flipped again in the summer. This is the last chance to do something with his contract. Got to stockpile trade assets.

    SAS says we needs a perimeter shooting point guard, but would still trade Parsons for Rondo. Legs "I would drive to Boston myself". Mchale has a good relationship with Rondo's agent.

    We can trade it. The rule prevents teams from not owning a first round pick for two consecutive years but drafts that have already passed aren't factored in.
