What Would You Be Willing to Give up to Get Mobley?

Jarrett Allen literally just won EC Player of the Week averaging 21 and 16

Allen, who has nowhere close to the amount of skill and shooting ability of someone like Wood, is getting accolades Wood would never win here in Houston

Allen currently averaging a career high in ppg and FG% at 68%…Who would be setting him up here? KPJr and his 5 assists and 5 turnovers? Mobley gets 73% of his shots assisted.

Mobley’s defense is as advertised, but no one is gonna fool me into thinking his points, assists, or efficiency would be the same in Houston

all the Rockets provide for a rookie is plenty of minutes and chuck opportunities…when it comes to structure, surrounding talent, PG play, etc, you’re gonna have to go elsewhere for that because u won’t be getting it here

CF in the summer: KPJr can average 10 apg…I think he could drop 20 and 8…he would’ve gone top 3 in this draft easy…meanwhile, he has regressed big time and looks like Brandon Jennings

they’re even complaining about how Sengun is being handled

So where is the good developmental situation here in Houston? Guys are just out there clueless chucking shots and getting cardio. We look like the most discombobulated and selfish team in the league.

 

I'd trade @ChillyPete32

 

not even surprised…that’s a known troll

 

Yup. It takes a lot for me to put a person on ignore. He/She is on a list with basketballholic (got kicked out?) and bobbythegreat.

 

Dang @Reeko you're having quite a start to this Thursday morning lol

 

I seriously miss your posts. I can’t remember a post from you I’ve read that i didn’t click like on.

 

You clearly didn't read the board in the off-season when everyone thought this was a playoff team and everyone was against tanking.

 

Don't sell yourself short; you're worth at least a New York Knick Mobley

 

Someone needs to save this thread to necrobump it in 5 years. Would be quite interesting

 

Which is just a lazy way of looking at it and seems more self serving than analytical….

If you are using hindsight and actually care about picking the best player then Barnes should be it.

Framing this as Green vs Mobley is going for a particular narrative….

 

I'd be willing to give up HOPE for that ever happening.

 

No need to trade for him. We will be bad, just draft Chet and you got an more capable offensive player and at worst similar defender as Mobley.

 

Idk if anyone remembers, but back when D-mo and Tjones were competing for the starting power forward role, on TheDreamShake and here there were a couple of posters going all-in on either one or the other (in hindsight it seems like neither of them were the answer, which is kind of hilarious reading those posts back) and they would end up taking it so personally that they would actively root for the other player to fail--even at the expense of the Rockets. I'll never understand why some people would rather be right than support the team...and then refuse to ever acknowledge it when they're proven to be mistaken. It's not that serious.

Obviously the situation is a little different with Mobley being a Cavalier and not a Rocket, but I've been getting similar vibes

All I know is that I'm probably going to be insufferable when Jalen Green becomes a star

 

If I was the Cavs, I might consider Green + Sengun. But of the people listed, they would not want.

• Green for Mobley alone; the money works, but Cavs would not unless icing on the cake (like with picks). Green could be useful to Cavs, if Sexton leaves.
• Wood for Mobley alone, nope;
• Cavs don't want KPJ back.
• Christopher could be icing
• Picks would be icing.

Our current starters stink. This isn't an opinion. We are 1-10 and lost to the friggin' Pistons, homecourt, on national TV. Objectively speaking, we stink. Green is the only one who may improve; even then he's behind other top rookies. Wood while good at certain things, his weakness is glaring in this bad Rocket system.

 

Thanks @xaos I was looking for it but gave up lmao
