Morey has spoke of being a player in free agency and that this draft is deep. If there is a trade, the other team will probably ask for either Budinger or Hill in the package. Who would you trade? Budinger or Hill
It depends on what you get in return. If they get a low post guy, then they should give up Hill, if they get a perimeter player, then Bud THIS
I think the question is too simple. I think it depends on who the other team wants, what we're getting in trade, who we draft, and who we're targetting in free agency.
I don't want to trade either, but I believe Bud is easier to replace then Hill is. Not saying Bud's potential is a dime a dozen, just that we already have Battier, Ariza, and Martin to play the wings, with Lowry and Brooks playing together at times. If Hill goes, we definitely need a replacement.
It depends on the player we get back. I would not trade CBud to get another high-potential PF, since we all ready have Hill.
I keep reading and hearing this but it is just not true, chemistry is very important. You can't toss lots of all stars together and hope it works out. You have to build around what you have, this team is VERY close with a healthy Yao.... Don't rebuild...tweak. DD
You know, I'm not so sure teams will be asking for them. Almost nobody seems to know much about the rockets unless they are strict followers. Although it wouldn't surprise me, I don't think most teams are clued in to the potential of Bud or (especially) Hill. With our anticlimactic season coming to a quiet ending, people won't know, or will at least easily forget about these guys.
NBA GM's and their assistants watch ALL NBA games and keep an eye out for any talent. They aren't fair weather BSPN correspondents.
Tough question but skilled big men are really DIFFICULT to find. Bud is fantastic and thus would bring back the most so its Bud. I would also say it may depend on who we pick up with the MLE.
Skilled big men are harder to find thus have more value. Even if your comparing the skilled big man to swingman of better skill. It all depends what our trade partner wants. If they are trying to get the best value for there asset they will want Jordan. If they are tradeing for a position of need or they value having all around basketball players that are good in most areas then I can see them going after Chase.
There is a business / PR component to player movement; and KM, TA, CB (and LS) bring fans to the games. Heck, I would not be surprised if Houston invited Gordon Hayward to training camp. I would trade Hill; and stock-pile PFs from the draft, hoping one or more develop into rotation players.
