    Think Landale, Tate, two 2nds could fleece the Blazers.

    I did see that and thought it was more than just a normal 'how you doin' chat. Doesn't make sense though. Unless they think they can get away with a Landale for Williams swap I'm not really interested. Why, he played for Ime before? And?

    Unless the Rockets are already convinced Adams isn't coming back, which may be truthful, I don't see the point.

    Maybe, if that's even possible. But... Landale confuses me-- sometimes looks great, sometimes looks like he's not good at basketball. I guess that's sort of a wash with a defensive specialist who's often injured. And who knows what a 2nd round pick might turn into? And I do love Adams as our primary backup-- he's clearly improved as the season's progressed.

    I like Time Lord but I want Adams' successor to be somebody who can shoot the three ball

    Dude has only played 14 games this season. We don't know if he has another nagging injury waiting in the wings. If we are gonna trade for more help I would love Rockets legends Kelly Olynk and Dennis S.

    Pretty sure Portland is just asking for a 2nd, and I can honestly see them not getting it. Timelord’s legs are in bad shape, to say the least.

    I’d say Jock possibly, but Jock has real value, so I wouldn’t give up anything else.

    The dude averaged 36 games per season in his first 6 seasons. And he played only 14 games this season.

    He played 61 games and averaged a double double just 3 years ago for the Celtics under Udoka. I was wrong in saying a 2030 first round pick as he could be had for trash and a couple second rounders. Perfect fit as a backup spot starter for the Rockets. Udoka gets the most out of this athletic cat!!!

    I'm down with the time lord same way i am with olynyk.

    Pretty much acquiring a 3rd big to replace Adams next year. Similar to how we acquired Adams a year early

    Id prefer olynyk for a stretch 5 look but i imagine ime prefers williams defense.

    At the cost of a 2nd it is worth imo, jock just hasnt impresed.

    Landale + SRPs for Time Lord would be fantastic, but I do wonder if he'll command more.

    Getting Rob allows him and Adams to take some games off separately. Keep them fresh for playoffs.
