    Only listing players with money guaranteed next season not named Harden/Howard/DMo.

    Terence Jones. He is healthy and has gotten better each game since he came back. In our roster his is the most duplicative (Josh Smith/DMo), and has the most asset/value of the players that are available to be moved.

    If Morey wants to make a big roster addition, to me TJones+NOP are the key assets.

    Capela is interesting, I have no idea how he is rated by the rest of the league or even by the Rockets themselves.

    BBH, why did you not add Canaan as an option?

    Dmo has the highest trade value. I like dmo a lot. I knew how good he was capable of playing before most of clutchfans wanted to trade for a bag of chips.

    With that being said, harden and howard (if healthy) are the only two players that are untouchable.

    How long are you expecting Josh Smith to be a Rocket and how long do you think he will control himself from going mid-range jump shot crazy...??? Placing the future in Josh Smith (or Howard's health) is ridiculous which means Morey should keep TJ IMO...

    TJ and D-Mo (to my surprise) are more valuable to the future of this team that Howard and Smith... So you guys need to come up with worthy trade targets before we can start rambling off players to trade.

    This pole is hilarious. Way to skew the voting to where you are blatantly directed to vote for T Jones.

    Basketballhollic you are the FoxNews of Clutchfans. I hope you are proud of yourself. (I know you are so have fun leading the sheep off the cliff).

    He'll have a hard time trading Jones right now with Dwight out for at least a month. If he could land a decent PG with a combination of Papa, Canaan, Terry, Shved, and the NOP pick, I'm sure he'd pull the trigger on that deal. But our front court depth is too important at the moment to give away a key piece like Jones(or D-Mo to an even larger extent).

    He's only got a 2-year deal and next season is a team option. I'm pretty sure Papa is not in the Rockets' long-term plans. Especially if they intend to hang onto Smith and Brewer past this season.

    I like him too, but he can't get minutes on this team as it's currently constructed.

    You don't trade TJ with the D12 and Josh situation.

    No, on trading Ariza. I keep Capella, unless someone makes a crazy offer...and develop him. Dorsey fills a niche while D12 is injured. No on trading Nick. He also should be developed.

    That leaves Bev, Canaan, Shved and KPOP. I'd package two of them with the NO pick for a starting quality PG.

    I think it's pretty obvious and ideal of were landing a good PG or anybody above average for that matter jones or dmo are gonna be traded. Bev to if the deal is right. All we gotta do is pick up a C in a trade.

    Why trade Jones unless we get Dragic or another top 15 PG.

    Josh Smith will not be on this team next season.

    Um yes you do package t jones in a situation like this. With dmo, smith and Dorsey that's a three man iffy rotation but better then most teams and also Howard will be back. Obviously I feel like we need to try and add a C during the trade or free agency via jermine oneal for insurance purposes and limited role.

    i'd say shved, papa, canaan and picks.

    jones-dmo-smith are too valuable to us to trade right now.

    Why would one trade Jones while Howard's future remains uncertain? Who would be the genius to make a playoff run with only two proven bigs in DMo and Smith? And why would one include Jone and other assets in a tyrade for a better big when Howard could return? This is nonsense. The Rox could enter the playoffs with 4 quality bigs. That is huge.

    IF any trades are to be made I am with you on just giving up Shved, Canaan, and picks. I would hate to include Papa.
