Random Houston Rockets Trade Ideas - 2012-13

Just shed Kevin Martin for a late first imo

 

why would you do a complete makeover by trading your only consistent great character all around All Star. Who's young and underpaid. You aren't going to get anything better for that cap space.

In fact, they would probably be less likely to get that high level free agent to come at all, if they had Terrence Jones and Marcus Morris instead of Al Horford.

They will be rebuilding around Horford, not instead of him. If someone offers Chris Paul for Horford, then sure. But not a deal like that.

Even if you offered all young pieces on rookie contracts on the Rockets roster, it still wouldn't make sense for the Hawks right now.

 

and then we could turn Kanter and the Raptors pick into LeBron, the Heat need frontcourt depth.

 

Actually, I don't disagree. You're probably right. I was just trying to look for something realistic that works. It really depends on how much they value Horford, who they haven't used properly, IMO. But if you throw in the Raptors guaranteed lotto pick as part of the deal, I do think Atlanta would be more likely to do the deal.

 

Alec Burks is a nice player... Do you think he is an all-star in the making? I see him as a young soild rotation player that plays both ends of the court. (as I typed this line I see his value & your point). With Kevin Martin's tour up as a Rocket; maybe Burks is to high of a goal.

Plus, maybe I am to high on Greg Smith and our picks... To me G. Smith has excellent upside and the potential to become a fixture in someone's rotation. Physically, he has all the tools to be an inside force in the future; while on a league minny for the next three years. I just see value here. (but not Burks value)

Thanks for checking my work; and you right.

Possible 3 way with the Bobcats, and Grizzlies for more picks that have low protection later on. Getting stuck with Tyrus Thomas' contract sucks, but the picks have potential to be really good later on. Both are unprotected in 2016 and (Detroit's is top-1 protected in 2015).

We trade Martin, Patterson, Morris, future 2nd rders
Get- Tyrus Thomas, Diop (exp. contract), Portland's pick (Bobcats), Detroit's pick (Bobcats)

Grizzlies trade- Gay
Get- Martin (exp. contract), Morris, future 2nd ers

Bobcats trade- Thomas, Diop, Detroit and Portland picks
Get- Gay, Patterson

 

i was replying more to that trade overall, not just the Burks part.
I should've quoted the other guy's post probably, not yours, but your post was more compact.

I like Burks, he's worth more than say Dallas pick, but if you give unprotected Rockets lottery pick (or Toronto pick), it would be fair if not too much.
Greg Smith has no meaningful trade value, obviously.

But Kanter for Rockets scraps is just ridiculous.

 

How can we let the random trade thread fall off the 1st page with our current roster?



Orlando does it because based on the DH12 trade they like low 1st round picks, want to free up money and love PFs as much as Morey.

Utah does it because they badly need a SG and to unload Bell who refused a buyout making his return a very awkward situation.

Houston does it because they need to move Martin and clean out the roster. Kanter will fit in nicely next to his blue brothers and he and Davis will make a good backups Asik. More importantly to me, it will allow our PFs to play PF. Our rookies are goint to make some mistakes and having a good C on the court allows us to keep moral up which is important in rookie growth. I hope Asik does well but I have a feeling that between the rookies and him getting more minutes, he'll be limited by fouls. It gives the rookies some time to adjust. By the time the trade deadline comes around, we should be ready to adjust the roster if needed.

Asik/Kanter/(Davis)
Davis/DMo/Jones/Patterson/White
Parsons/Morris
Lamb/Bell
Lin/Douglas/Livingston

 

Rockets

Trade Martin, Morris
Get Evans

Hawks

Trade Devin Harris, 1st Round Pick
Get Kevin Martin

Kings

Trade Evans
Get, Devin Harris, Morris, !st Round Pick

We get Tyreke, who I think would gel well with our team and is versatile enough to start at SG or SF depending on how ready Lamb is. Hawks get cap space and Kings get picks, Harris because Tyreke has pretty much burned a lot of bridges over there.

 

Tyreke has burned bridges in Sacramento? pics or it didn't happen.

How do the Hawks get cap space by doing this deal?

 

JSmoove yes(would be a steal to be honest). Monta Ellis no. Monta Ellis is garbage. Overrated offensively and plays no defense.

 

martin expires...

 

http://dimemag.com/2012/06/report-kings-may-be-looking-to-trade-tyreke-evans/

not really burned bridges but like martin was in trade rumors and loyalty wasn't shown both ways

 

so does Devin Harris, and he's getting even less this year. so why are they giving a 1st?

 

so what has Evans done so terrible that they'd give him up for a mediocre pick and expiring?

 

And what would Devin Harris have done?

(hint: expire)

 

Its just a suggestion, mixup the picks and contracts however you want...just throwing names, teams out there

 

i agree in general, Evans would be a nice (and probably underrated at this point) target. But i don't see any deal that makes sense for both.
They might consider something like Lin for Tyreke, with them also dropping bad salary like Salmons.

 

Morris/Martin

for

Ridnour/Williams/Lee

Why do we do this?
Get a legit back-up point on good deal, plus potential in Williams and throw in Lee isn't bad.

Why they do it?
Ridnour is redundant there, Aldeman hates Williams/has huge boner for Martin.

Our line-up
Lin/Ridnour/Douglas
Lamb/Livingston (can play sg)
Parsons/Williams
Patterson/Jones/White
Asik/D-Mo

BOOM.

Their squad
Rubio/Barea/Shved
Martin/Roy
Kirilenko/Bud/Morris
Love/Cunningham
Pekovic/Steisma

BOOM.

 

We should get Tyreke Evans. He's a potential allstar but not with the Kings. I remember his rookie season. Scores on will and overall badass. He could be our SG/PG. while lamb develops more and take off minutes from Lin til Lin gets acclimated for full season. he's been playing sht cause really, kings suck as an organization. he needs a new start. we need big guards to keep up with OKC and Miami.

also, Andre blatche. we need another center to backup Asik. sucks camby had to go.

TYREKE EVANS
ANDRE BLATCHE
