Rockets and Mavericks talking trade

This thread went sideways....

Imo he's an integral part of the pg or ball movement though, he's handling the ball and being the primary playmaker depending on the rotation/in-game situation at both a club and national team level. Green isn't remotely close to Franz' level of playmaking and versatility.

Does Green have the higher upside due to his athleticism and shooting strides? Definitely, but he's very far from improving on the rest in a way that makes him as valuable as Franz atm, especially when it comes to consistency.

 

sounds like my ex gf

 

He's better than Sengun... he can be successful on any team despite the roster or coaching

 

I think rockets trying to get the 10th to pair up with 4 to move up to 2 and then trade for Zion

 

Yea it's why I mentioned fit, with Sengun there are a lot more question marks a coach has to work around.

 

If we were to get Zion, I would also suspect we're in on Harden. I have no verification... just a thought

 

Imagine trading up to get a generational point guard on a young team full of rookie contracts that badly needs a point guard...

...and throwing him away for a guy who averages 28 games played a year and has never once been healthy for the playoffs.

Galaxy brain move right there.

 

The hope there would be in the back of the lottery and win....

 

Having a tall, athletic point guard that plays D is also a great facilitator is a luxury.

Rockets can find shooters via free agency and/or trading up using pick 20 and a player (KPJ, KMJ, Tate) and some future picks if needed.

 

Where do you get "anywhere close to playamking" from?

 

I really thought they were going to use this pick to grab a vet, but the fan base seems resigned to this being more of a salary dump. I’d rather take Bullock over Bertāns, but I’ll live with either. Buying a top 10 pick with cap space works for me.

 

What a luxury

 

not that I disagree , but how come we didn’t see green guarding more 1’s last year .

kpj / whoever we had was big enough to guard 2’s.

im not even agaisnt Thompson that much , just very scared of the risk . Of course, anyone we take could bust .

at 4

amen , black are 1’s .. both could bust
Cam is a 2
Ausar and maybe Hendricks are wing
And Walker is a 4/5

I think with green and the other athletes we have ,we are going to try to make playing in transition a priority . Amen and black are both good there I think . Amen obviously has higher finishing potential.

sengun is really underrated in transition offense . But he’s prolly mucho terrible on D .

I have no clue what’s stones vision is , but I’m not very confident in it because the only thing he’s proved is he can put together 20 wins .

 

I thought Orlando is praying for Amen, but anyway props for recognizing the past tense.

 

I think a lot of teams may view the draft as having a pretty even dispersal of talent between picks 10 and 20. I also think that the looming spector of the second apron in the new CBA makes getting a lot of bargain-ish wing players like Tate and Martin appealing, as well. I wonder if obtaining the #10 pick is meant as a sweetner for a move up in the draft, or a Zion trade?

Thanks for the information, Nook.
