    I listed some players I think whose value is lower than it should either because of off the court issues,or small market,or didnt perform as expected,injuries,bad record,bad contract.

    always trade for a player that has lower than expected value, not higher because then you are overpaying

    feel free to add to the list,

    Chris Anderson
    Al Jefferson
    Anthony Randolph
    Gilbert Arenas
    Josh Smith
    Michael Beasley
    Erick Dampier
    Ben Gordon
    Charlie Villenauva
    Josh Howard
    Deandre Jordan
    Amir Johnson
    Gerald Wallace
    Brook Lopez
    tayshawn Prince
    Jason Maxiell
    travis Outlaw
    Marrese Speights
    Thaddeus Young
    Al Thornton
    Jason Thompson
    Hasheem Thabeet
    Brandon Wright


    Which of these should Rockets go after & are attainable ?

    These are the only players on the list that I would want to go after, but I doubt that Lopez, Wallace, and Smith could be had

    Yeah, I agree, there is no way you are getting those guys for cheap dude

    About that list of buy low, they're valued low for a reason and I wouldn't want most of those players because they're mostly old. We're not a championship team looking for one more piece, we're still building that contender.

    Only players that look interesting to me are:

    Ben Gordon
    Travis Outlaw
    Michael Beasley
    Jason Thompson
    Hasheem Thabeet

    What makes you think you could Gerald Wallace, Brook Lopez, or Josh Smith in a buy low scenario?

    It's not just about their asking price in a trade being low, but also about their salary. You can't possibly include someone like Arenas on that list when he's severely overpaid, it's not a value even if you get him for the ball boy.
