    Youre propably thinking I am asking what picks the Rox have, Im not. The question is what pick do you think we could get by packaging the Phoenix second rounder from the morris trade and one of Jones, Robinson or Smith? Seems to me the best way to acquire either a good backup 2/3 or 5. Is Robinson+ that pick enough to swap with Cleveland for their second rounder and the Lakers pick? That might net us someone like Len and then a Chandler parsons type(upper classman who may have reached his potential in school) gamble in the second (Hill from Arizona or Cj Leslie from Nc State)

    Rockets need to give up a first rounder to unload TRob. The guy is a bust.

    T Rob value is ultra low right now... I have a feeling that Morey will sit on Trob for now and wait to see if his value will increase next year before letting him go except if we need to clear cap space to sign a new FA. T.rob.'s 3m salary will definitely clear a lot of cap space... :D

    Famous Claims:

    Rockets trade him for a 1st round pick and Goran Dragic

    Daryl Morey trades him to move up from 14 to 12 in the draft.

    Daryl Morey trades him for a mid 1st round pick.

    Daryl Morey trades him for a 1st rounder that could become a very very high 1st round pick.

    Daryl trades him for a guaranteed lottery pick that could be a top 5 pick and parlays that into James Harden.


    When are you guys going to stop doubting Daryl Morey's ability to get max value for traded players? I really doubt DM wants to trade TRob until the team can get an off season to work with him but there are plenty of teams that would want a shot at a top 5 draft pick with great upside. Hell, the Mark Cuban is talking about using a 2nd round draft pick on Brittany Grinner and you seriously think he would not give a 2nd rounder for TRob? I find that laughable.

    T-Rob isn't going anywhere unless we need to ditch him for cap room.

    If doubters get a slap to the face every time they wronged Morey's ability on trade, they'd be toothless by now.
