Could Robinson be a piece for the Hawks?

I hope not. Id take a cheap Thomas Robinson with great upside instead of a player like Josh Smith that wants and will get the max but we all know he's not even worth it.

 

Looks like it.... somehow I like Millsap there

 

Horford pleaseeeee

 

there are rumblings on twitter that T Rob may be traded again, but nothing from anyone official, so take it for what it's worth. I doubt it, but with Morey, you never really know

 

Call me crazy, but I'd honestly rather have Robinson. He's on his rookie contract for many more years and can grow with this team. Wont hinder cap situation.

I'd rather have T Rob + free agent instead of just smoove or free agent

 

this is exactly what Morey and the owner wants... making the playoffs

don't believe all this rebuiding all of a sudden
You have Harden and you go directly or indirectly for that second allstar

could be free agency though

 

Thomas Robinson=Josh Smith Light..

 

I'f Howard signing with us or being traded to us is a done deal, then sure. I'f not, i wouldn't

Smith is 6 years older the robinson, i'd rather stick with a super young core (and cheaper), then give Smith a near max contract. That would go a couple years into his 30's.

 

Unfortunately it is about what the owner and FO wants

 

I completely agree. I just got done telling someone the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens or if we sign Dwight and do a sign and trade for Smith using Robinson + pieces.

 

LaMarcus Aldridge anyone?

 

Can't traded players only be traded again individually? For example, Robinson can only be traded by himself if traded again immediately? His rookie contract wouldn't fetch Josh Smith, BUT then again, I'm no Bima

 

Hope we keep Robinson. Atleast put him in the starting lineup and build value for a trade this summer..Aldridge.

It's crucial too keep the cap space for free agency. We could sign a max player and still have these rookies too swing a deal for Aldridge or Love.

Trading now is settling for One instead of two potential max contracts.

 

I believe you are correct, but I also think that although this deal is announced it is not yet processed by the league so if he is traded again it essential turns into a 4 team trade.

Looks good to me!

 

As it stands:

Lin/Beverly
Harden/Delfino/Anderson
Parsons/Garcia
Robinson/D-Mo/Jones
Asik/Smith/D-Mo

SO...

This cannot be all that we're doing... I like this as an initial move for something greater. IMO, two moves should (but likely won't) still happen:

1) HOU sends T. Jones and Delfino to CHI for Hamilton, Korver's trade exception ($3m) and 1st round pick

2) HOU sends Garcia, Robinson, and the CHI pick to ATL for Smith

HOU line-up:

Lin/Beverly
Harden/Hamilton
Parson/J. Smith/Honeycutt
J. Smith/D-Mo
Asik/G. Smith

(I've included Morris to SAC so the numbers work for HOU-- makes no difference to this trade)

This is just one of many scenarios that could happen. I don't necessarily think it will, but wishful thinking, eh?

If we DO stand pat until the summer, I wouldn't be surprised to see a heavy push for D-Will, despite what everyone thinks of HOU going after Howard. If that's the (successful) case, our line-up looks like:

Williams/Lin
Harden/Delfino/(MLE FA or pick)
Parsons/White or MLE FA or pick
Robinson/D-MO/T. Jones
Asik/D-MO

 

Links? Whose reporting this? Around this time we shouldn't be just throwing stuff out there.

 

You don't trade the # 5 pick for josh Smith on an expiring contract. That's a Horford chip

 

Or maybe TJones, Garcia, and 2nd rd picks for Smith
