The Rockets need a third team and it is obvious. I think if they include Parsons, than the first round pick drops to just one and a deal can be done. With Jones it will be two, and at that point they would be shipping over Brandon Bass as well. That is just a guess.
Rondo isn't worth giving up Chandler Parsons. CP is the goat. Asik, Lin, 2nd round pick tops for rondo.
HOU has absolute interest in trading for Rajon Rondo. Well, NY has absolute interest too, so do several other teams, interest does not mean much in getting him. I never though that we can get Rondo without giving up lots, if we do, then we will be very lucky.
I don't think Rockets will trade Parsons to the Celtics.. He's one of the reason why dwight came here and big part of recruiting process... i think it would be asik to a 3rd team (for a 1st rd pick)+ rockets picks.. Lin, TJones to Celtics, we get rondo
My guess. They've got the deal in their back pocket and they're negotiating terms. My translation of that is that Morey is willing to give in, but trying to save every player he can.
Deal w/o Parsons. Otherwise we roll with our team and the Cs? Well...good luck. Rondo is not worth breaking the core up after 3 months.
Hmm, Do we sacrifice Parsons for Rondo/Deng? Do we plan on keeping Deng long term? Is Rondo / Beverley Harden / Garcia Deng / Casspi Jones / Smith Howard / Dmo a contender?
who else on table in first deal 1.bev/2.lin/3.dmo/4.jones/5.asik/6.canaan ? who else besides rondo bass/humpries/bradley ?
Rep for the entertainment. I feel bad for insiders and you know you are doing this to yourself which I greatly appreciate. I hope it goes through, because I know you are absolutely doing all of us a solid, but there will be the assholes in this thread to call for your head if nothing happens. Just saying that I appreciate it all and that I speak for 99% of us that trade or no trade keep giving us inside info PLEASE!!!!:grin:
With all due respect, can't this hurt negotiations if this information leaked? You're being used across the internet as a credible source with inside information regarding our front office's strategy. If Boston finds this out they can use it to their advantage.
Guys at my work just got wind of this. One says his son heard we gave up Parsons, Lin, Asik and pick for Rondo and Green. Nothing confirmed so unbelievable for now.
Dillusional talks about rockets getting rondo on rockets forum. Word gets to stein. Stein says "ofcourse Houston interested in rondo" as are so many other teams. But no parsons means no deal
