Rockets looking to trade for Nikola Vucevic

Neat!

Wrong section but nice first post. Don't know if it's a legit source but makes sense with the Biyombo signing.

Would be awesome if we got him. Good rebounder, shot-blocker, has decent range on his jumpshot, and is a good passer, would seem to fit with MDA's offense.

 

no surprise

they trade for rebounding and low post

 

We have nothing to offer them, unless they want Capela and Ariza.

 

can he play defense? dunno what they'd want but they got too many bigs now. bysmack is more of a 20-25mpg player so it looks like they're trading nikola or gordon.

 

this guy is an offensive machine. an elite pick and pop player and great post player. however, last season, i noticed he posted up less and took more midrange jumpers, which led to an overall decrease in offensive and overall rebounding opportunities.

he's an average defender at best (struggles in PnR), but has shown minor improvement when skiles was coaching. i doubt that would happen under d'antoni though.

 

The guy's twitter doesn't seem bad so maybe there is something to this rumor, but Vucevic's contract is looking pretty damn good right about now. I think they would be crazy to trade him. No idea what the Rockets could even offer.

 

This would be a great addition. Finally a center that can hit jump shots.

 

They need SF depth. Brewer, Dekker and a pick?

 

The Rockets do not have nearly enough to get Vucevic, so don't get too excited.

That said, I would gladly sell many of your buttholes to get Vooch.

 

yeah, 3 yrs, 37M for a 20+ PER guy who gives you 20/10 per 36. i don't see why you'd trade that. but then i don't know why you have biyombo and ibaka if you have vucevic.

 

Bev, Brewer, Rights to Gentile for Vucevic and Napier

 

At a minimum it will cost Clint Capela, Trevor Ariza and our future picks, and I doubt the Magic even take that.

 

yeah while there probably wouldn't be enough minutes to go around, a frontcourt of ibaka/vucevic with gordon/biyombo off the bench is pretty nice. plus they'd lose their one true post threat.

i think it'd have to start with ariza and picks for sure. they need wing depth. hezonja is a nice player but he's still inexperienced and green is a bum who's probably better at the 4 anyways.

 

Vucevic is another guy that just fits the bill for this offense. I would love to have him here.

 

Meh, just seems like an empty stats guy to me.

 

The Orlando big I would rather trade for is Aaron Gordon.

 

We need a trade like this to go down soooooo badly.

 

Don't think they'd want Ariza. Seeing as the now have Fornier, Green, Hozonja, Gordan.

Our biggest trade piece could be a future 1st... Not sure what it'd take to get Vuc but I'd love it!
