    Yes it is.

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/random-houston-rockets-trade-ideas-2016-17.277831/

    "At times throughout the year, some posters start threads to pose a trade idea. If lots of people post trade ideas, it clutters up the forum, so we decided in 2006 to try to have one thread for "random trade ideas" that are not based on news involving the Rockets. They are simply, "What do you think about... " scenarios."

    The thing is, it'd be extremely difficult matching a $22.1 million salary in a trade. The Rockets would have to dump equal salary on the Heat with players they can't rebuild around.

    I don't see how this is a random trade idea. It's simply discussing this:

    I thought it was a pretty interesting topic of discussion. I don't understand how a Paul Millsap thread is ok when he was the talk of the town a few days ago, but a Miami Heat thread isn't ok when it's the story everyone is talking about right now.

    We need a backup center bad but Reed is only 6'9

    Fun fact. The heat are worse defensively with whiteside on the court.

    All of the bolded text are random trade ideas. No one is upset with you for not posting in the random trade thread. Simply letting you know that it exists and what it is for. If you want to talk specifically Heat then it belongs in the DISH.

    Completely true. Many believe it's because he often gets out of position to chase blocks, which I agree with. He's a beast, but he's kind of a bone-head in many respects.

    James Johnson will be a very good role in our system, expect Morey trade KJ & a 2ed draft pic for him

    [​IMG] Willie Reed is a gutsy player, just what we need.

    Good point.
    Maybe with a third team

    I thought the Dish column was for random NBA news. This is related to the Rockets roster.

    Three-way, where Dragic goes to a third team.

    I think Dragic for Rudy Gay straight up makes sense for both teams, I don't see the Rockets getting involved.

    Johnson is not going to get playing time over a chemistry friendly Decker... The Rockets needs a solid tall big and another PG or combo guard.

    Welcome to Clutchfans, where the people are assholes and the likes don't matter! [/DrewCarey]

    Personally im on edge with Justise. Yeah he's young, injured, probably not available but ultimately his stats are simply terrible. I think he's only 20 so he could be something but then again that's my attitude toward KJ and he hasn't turned out so great.

    I am 65% on board for Whiteside. Lots of ?'s but he is absolutely that 2nd star. Wonderful talent. Simply huge and locked up for 2 more years. Dynamic player. 77 percentile in all of NBA in roll man scoring and with James- lol- would be better. However when the team was dependent on Dwight team rebounding as a whole was terrible. I wouldn't want to see the team collectively get lax again.

    Then if you can get someone like Ibaka in the offseason, g,g.

    This thread does not belong in the DISH. If it did, it would be moved. This is not a random trade discussion because it is only about the Miami Heat roster. Is it relevant? Yes, because they're having a firesale unlike the rest of the league who seems to like their team for the most part. Last, this is only about Miami/Houston trades. It belongs in a thread by itself. In the GARM. Because it's about us trading with the firesale folks.

    There are a lot of vets up in here ignoring you fools saying this doesn't deserve it's own thread. We have a very good set of bbs police and you aren't it. If you were, you'd move the thread. So without those privileges... maybe think about dropping it? hooroo did, so did MingTheKing and JoeBarleyCares who have all been here a long long time. Take queues, quit being an idiot. It's unbecoming.

    You are a brilliant. How is it I've never seen this guy. I'm going to take it to the trade thread. Thank you.

    He's a stat chaser. Just a center version of Melo. Doesn't make your team better.
