ESPN: Rockets talking trade-up with Kings, Raptors -- targeting Dwight or Drummond?

What are those lotto numbers, dude!

Post 'em up, please!

He says his idol is DH (hence he wore 12 in college) and he's only 18 with a lot of growing to do....

Who knows what he will turn into!

I have a feeling he'll be better than you think, though.

With people like Dream, CD and Rudy T peekin' their heads in from time to time as well as a HOF coach who KNOWS how to play post.

Even with dudes raw ability.....with all those resources, I'm willing to bet on the side of success for Drummond.

 

I doubt Morey has any sort of guarantee. He is just using common sense. If Dwight was willing to leave and sign somewhere else, he would have opted out. He stayed to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to go to Brooklyn AND sign for the most money possible. Because of this he will not get traded to the Nets, and Brooklyn lost their #6 pick and possible Deron as well. It's obvious to me that the money is a major factor to Dwight.

That's cold. @blazersedge: UConn G Jeremy Lamb on ex-UConn teammate Andre Drummond's NBA potential: "It depends on if he wants to work."

 

That is seriously scary, but the guy is only 18 years old......however, I can't recall that label on any star player...most of the stars are the kind of competitors that want to win at all costs.

I knew were going to bring up Shaq and Chandler... And ur right but Shaq was dominant! His whole life up to the NBA! Drummond never did that! And Wilt come on Andre isn't anywhere near that!

Chandler shot over 50% so he was atleast making half

What part of Andres game Is there other than his height and athleticism? He has never really dominated competition, he isn't a good shooter like Anthony Davis I mean I just don't seem him having a good career in the NBA.

If Orlando wants him and another top 10 pick for the most dominate player in the game today and probably for the next 5 years then I would do it in a heart beat!

Plus if the world ends in December wouldn't you want to see Dwight in a Rockets Uniform before you die!!!' lol

 

im not sure the rockets should throw everything at drummond..too many busts come to mind..beal looks good as does jeremy lamb. also shouldnt rely too much on dhoward trade for all its gonna take..(alot)..but guys like roy hibbert and nick batum may be more realistic targets

 

Dude has skills. Might be a freaking beast in 2 to 3 years. Gotta take him if he's on the board. No more safe pics. Safe sucks

 

Unless we are talking about condoms, in a dirty strip club.

 

Or Africa!

 

Serious red flag: Jeremy Lamb is a douche bag. Say no to Jeremy Lamb for throwing teammate under the bus.

 

oh i do not want drummond... i think he is a bust... i am severly on the dwight side of the arguement...


just citing examples...

 

I'm not sure why Sacramento does that deal.

with that said if you can get the 5 & 8 pick for Dally, Lowry, and 16 (while retaining the 14), that'd be incredible, but very unlikely.

 

kobe-lite...

i agreee...

 

I agree. That would be an unbelievable move by DM to redeem any "bad move" he had done in the past.

Realistically, I see us trading Lowry + 14 or 16 for #5 or 8

 

People are following them because they're posting tweets about the Rockets and everyone is desperate for news. There's no known credibility to the site. Personally, I'm quite skeptical that a site routinely sending messages to people like this ("hey man, I see you're a NBA fan, would you be down to follow us?") has any real info. Screams desperate ploy for clicks.

 

Not sure either, but it's what's being reported. Maybe they think they can get a useful player at 16 while saving about $8M. I agree it's unlikely, but if the team can add Howard while actually reducing salary as it would appear with these trades, I think a lot of the people who are against acquiring Howard should probably take another look. More than anything else, I was just wondering if my math was correct and this would actually open up as much cap space as it appears.

 

2 more days. Lens hope for something big. Regardless, we'll all be cheering for our Rockets.

 

Now knowing that, its safe to completely disregard any and all information out of that sight. thanks cat.

 

If Orlando turns down our deal of two top 10 picks and or players and the 14th pick they would be completely idiotic because this would be the most they would get in return for d12 in my opinion

 

and we end up with the #5 and #8 picks?

MKG/Drummond? so much win.
