Rockets have been offered a 1st round pick for Thomas Robinson (UPDATE: So much for "imminent")

Personally I'd still want him gone because you never know when he'll pull that refusing to show up and play crap again. He's simply not worth the trouble.

 

ENOUGH OF ROYCE WHITE.

You get paid millions to bounce a freakin' ball. There are people with his ailment who nut up and go and work a decent honest living to feed their families while this guy is just plain abusing the platform he has and behaving like a spoilt pre-madonna

 

It's prima donna, not pre-madonna, it means "first lady" in Italian.

 

Can someone point the players in this draft that are better than T.Robinson? McLemore and Porter obviously, but they don't play the same position as TRob. Are Noel, Len and others really so much better than him? I understand that we want to shave his salary, but is there really no other way to get Howard?

 

Is Thomas Robinson supposed to be a good player now? Even if the Rockets kept him, he's a 3rd stringer for a reason.

 

Behaving like its 1982? Like Voyager or something?

 

Because he is a rookie.

21 year old PF in the NBA.

 

Yeah, he played like he was a rookie that got traded mid-season.

 

it probably needs to wait until after july 1, as teams with the must fill 90% of cap would probably be more than happy to take say the knicks 2nd rounder and $3m for him, atm all teams are already at that this season so it has no benefit. For someone like Charlotte it could save them the whole $3m (since they could then pay his salary less through the year), basically we pay for their name/logo change (lol), and they get a 2nd rounder in 2014 out of the deal.

 

Prepare your goodbyes for T-Rob tonight.

 

Seriously, I wonder what people who say "pre-madonna" think it means...

 

With T-Rob we basically have no way to get Howard (only by trading either Lin or Asik, or the whole rest of the team...). I too would like to keep T-Rob to see, what he can do - but it's just not in the cards for us. But I would really like to get back more than just a late first rounder for him, because I also believe he has lots of potential.

 

I feel the same way, don't want to see them give T-Rob away for peanuts. And Morey had better sign Dwight Howard away from the Los Angeles Lakers (which IMO will be difficult in the end).

 

Before Madonna, obviously. They are suggesting that Dwight acts like people acted before Madonna.

 

We continue to have too many PFs and need some cap room. I do not think this means they dont like him but you cant always keep people you like. Purely a money move.

 

any word on whats the improved offer might be?

 

Maybe an additional second round pick. Cannot be a player.
Lord, what if Chicago gives us he rights to Mirotic?

 

Like, Madonna before "Lucky Star", before she got super slutty?

 

Kind of disconcerting two quality scouting franchises like Spurs/Bulls covet Robinson, but a pleasant surprise considering conventional wisdom was we wouldn't get much.

But he must be moved regardless of what value we place on him, so no worries about letting him go.
