Currently what is our single best trade asset excluding Howard/Harden?

Just how can we get a player like Dragic without using the NOP pick? Even with it MANY including me don't think it would be enough. Damn, you people are being unrealistic here.

 

So now we're pushing "Soooon" to well into the regular season?

 

That is correct.

 

Jones.

 

So why didn't you vote forhim?

 

Pelican's pick, because it's the Pelican's and they are in the West so I don't think they will be in the playoffs for a few more seasons.

 

The TPE is most definitely an asset. If a team needs cap relief, we can instantly give it to them.

 

Just theoretical talk, but if another team had Pellies pick, the Pellies pick protected from 1-3 and 18-30 would be better. There are plenty of teams with better odds to be in the lottery than the Pellies and similar protection on their pick would be more valuable.

Granted, I picked the Pellies pick because it is a more liquid asset and is highly valued by more teams. I just think there are a lot of ways a team could craft more value than the way the Pellies pick is done without giving up Top 3 Protection.

 

TPE is most definitely an asset as it can be converted into something of value for another team to obtain the Rockets something of value like a second round pick. No where close to Pellies pick in value, though.

I am shocked by Jones getting more votes than Beverley...

 

Jones will be traded if there is a deal i think.He got potential and young.But he is not that suit for Rockets especially in Playoffs.

 

I said Pellies pick in the text you quoted. However, a person does not have to value another asset as being able to obtain a Top 2 protected pick for that asset to be more valuable than the Pellies pick owed to the Rockets...the asset just has to be able to obtain something of more value than the Pellies pick owed to the Rockets.

I don't think another asset on Rockets has this much value outside Harden and Howard.

On a side note, I think Beverley, if he checks out physically, will most likely be a more valuable player than the Pellies pick will obtain in the draft. However, demand from bad teams for draft picks is a lot higher than demand from teams that actually want to win now for a player like Beverley.

 

people are just stupid....
17 people have now selected 'a future Rockets 1st pick' as being more valuable than the Pelicans pick.... If people can't even wrap their mind around The pelicans pick (guaranteed to be 4-17) being better than the Rox own pick (projected to be the back half of the draft...).... then I don't know what to say....

 

Thank you. Because if this is factual, i. e. upheld at signing time by player and agent, it alters the value of the acquisition exponentionally.

I believe you, but (and ain't that an obnoxious word) - - Bledsoe's situation has to be a giant wild card in any dealings.

 

Real players trump make-believe players for real squads (i. e. teams competing).

The Love - Wiggins trade demonstrates this point emphatically in both directions.

BTW - - I will not be upset when Bev reaches 'show me the $$$ day'. He is doing everything he can to earn his next paycheck.
