Random Houston Rockets Trade Ideas - 2012-13

That's too much to give up for an injured Rondo, who would be a horrible fit next to Harden anyway. The Celtics got nothing we want, guys.

 

Plus it was just reported that he has a torn ACL. No thanks to him

Would rather go after garnett

 

what does Garnett do for you besides ear up our cap space?

unless you think we can win a title in three years

 

no, KG is 36 years old. the only reason he came back (he was gonna retire last year) is because of paul pierce. he's only averaged about 30.5 minutes in the last 5 years.

the rocket's pace would be bad for KG.

 

Well according to that, he has a no trade clause so it's not like we can trade for him

 

Mook/PPat/Jones/Douglas or Beverley for KG

 

To Boston: Royce White
To Houston: Jason Terry

Thoughts?

 

It crossed my mind after hearing about Rondo. But he is 36. Kind of a deal breaker

 

He's also been kinda ****ty this year.

 

But he is still the Jet!

 

Danny Ainge is going to very likely insist on anybody who wants Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett to also take back one or more of these overpaid mediocrities (Jason Terry, Courtney Lee, Brandon Bass, and especially Jeff Green) on the roster. Daryl Morey says, "No, thanks." But, as has been mentioned repeatedly (at least by me) on this thread, it's possible that Houston would emerge as the third wheel in trade with Celtics and a poorly managed and/or desperate team that is stupid enough to take back some of Boston's junk.

For example, maybe Houston agrees to take back Jason Terry if somebody (Boston or the poorly managed/desperate mystery team) will give Houston a first round pick. Although I am guessing that Houston only does that if Daryl Morey is able to get a fourth team involved, and send Terry to that team in exchange for a useless veteran on an expiring contract (e.g., Richard Hamilton).

 

Lets gets Courtney Lee back along with Garnett.

Courtney+Delfino+Parsons = Every Nights is Ladies Night

 

KG is still playing in the NBA?!

 

Can't get Courtney this season since we traded him lol.

 

One possibility would be something like this:

Rudy Gay and Toney Douglas to Boston

Paul Pierce to Memphis

Celtics first round pick and Mystery Team's $4-$5 mil expiring contract to Houston

Jason Terry to Mystery Team (presumably a title contender that's going for broke)

Obviously Houston isn't interested in the aging, overpaid Terry (well, not obvious to everybody here, for whatever reason, I guess) but some idiot out there may value his "leadership" and "playoff experience." So Houston gets involved to facilitate a Celtics salary dump and walks away with a Celtics first round pick, which figures to be around #15 overall in this year's draft.

Although I honestly can't figure out a team that both a) is dumb enough to do this and b) has a $4-$5 mil expiring contract (of a worthless player) on the roster.

Worth a shot.

 

Only the Lakers can pull the trigger on trades like that.

 

I would do this.
