A lot of Rockets fans on twitter are strongly against giving up so much draft capital — and maybe in that trade proposal we are — but I would absolutely do something like this. Would also be great to put an end to the war between Team Green and Team Mobley.
Too many young players to develop in one team is not a good idea. We got 2nd, 23th, 24th picks in this year draft already. Still got KPJ and KJ.
Honestly if you're going to throw that at the #3 pick why wouldn't you offer that (horrible) trade to Detroit for Cade instead?
Awful trade for Houston giving up that many picks. One or two FRP plus some pick swaps maybe, but five firsts is out of the question
They would have to take Wall’s contract too and that would still be terrible trade. Like I don’t get it, isn’t DGC supposed to be a Rockets fan? Lmaooo
This. Orlando can afford to send the 5th and 8th pick to Cleveland for Green at #3. Then Cleveland would have to determine who they want to keep between Garland and Sexton to play alongside Green.
I posted this in the trade thread. I think it works for every team. We give up our late picks this year, the what would be late pick from the Wizards and a potentially good pick from the Bucks in 2023. We take on Loves contract which helps with the balancing, and get another first for Gordon which we move on to up the value too. ‐----------------------------- Rockets trade Wood, House, Gordon, # 23, # 24, 2023 proted FRP via Wizards, 2023 unprotected FRP via Bucks. Rockets receive Kevin Love, # 3, # 32 Rockets draft: 2 - Jalen Green, 3 - Evan Mobley, 32 - JT Thor Rockets sign Richaun Holmes, Otto Porter Jnr. Why they do this: They cash in on some of their draft stock and the impressive Christian Wood to find 3 cornerstones of the franchise in KPJ, Jalen Green and Mobley. They hold on to most the picks the got in the Harden trade but have to swallow Loves contract. They sign some young vets that could help the team seach for a play in spot if everything falls right. Cavs trade Kevin Love,Larry Nance, # 3 Cavs receive Wood, # 11, # 21, 2023 unprotected FRP via Bucks Cavs draft: 11 - Moses Moody, 21 - Ziaire Williams Cavs resign Jarrett Allen, sign Kriss Dunn Why they do this: If the Cavs want to win sooner rather than later, Christian Wood should help you in the short term. While still having a young team, this makes them a lot more well rounded. They will still have a trade asset in Sexton which should net them a possitive return, while handing the reigns over to Garland. Knicks trade # 21, # 32 Knicks receive Gordon, House No draft Knicks resign Derrick Rose, Nerlens and sign James Johnson Why they do this: Knicks go to win now mode by adding some vet role players. They bring back the guys who worked for them last year and hope Randle still improves on his stellar last season to see them through the playoffs. The knicks still have room for another major FA signing, even though the pickings may be slim this FA year. Hornets trade # 11 Hornets receive Larry Nance, # 23, # 24, 2023 protected FRP via Wizards. Draft: 23 - Chris Duarte, 24 - Isaiah Jackson Hornets resign Malik Monk Why they do this: Hornets get more role players around Ball and build their bench but give up # 11 to do so. They also pick up Nance who would be a great small ball 5 in this system which is somethinh Charlotte have gone too with PJ Washington
