Who/what can you trade Head for and why is he/it more useful to Rockets than Head?

Damon Jones just doesn't excite me for this team. Especially for giving up Head and Hayes. Maybe just as a signee. But to give those two up, I would want more in return. Just my opinion of him though.

 

Two useful players for Damon Jones? Not happening

 

At this point, Luther head is more valuable than Damon Jones. I would be shocked if the rockets traded him for Jones.

 

A trade that would make us even more hood:

Shane Battier for Stephen Jackson straight up and if GS doesn't see that as fair how about Shane Battier and Luther Head for Stephen Jackson straight up.

This would unite Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson again just like the Indiana days. Then we could get a poster with Ron Atrest, Joey Dorsey, Stephen Jackson and Steve Francis with this title: We Hustlin and Hitting Three's in a Real Big Hurry So We Can Relax and Hit Some of That Mary!

 

I say trade Head for a future draft pick for the simple reason that we have no room for him. I say package him with Chuck Hayes for a future 2nd round pick or the two of them and a second round pick for someone's first round pick. Assuming Francis comes back healthy, and we sign Landry, we will be 10 deep this year.

1. Raefer, SF3
2. TMac, Barry
3. Artest, Shane
4. Scola, Landry
5. Yao, Deke

Thats 10 spots. I may be wrong but from my understanding, that only leaves 2 active roster spots for Dorsey, Brooks, Head, Hayes, and Harris. Someone ain't gone make it. Do we let him walk or do we get something for him while we can?

 

Umm how about a HELL NO!

 

NOW THATS SOME REAL SH__...all they would need then is TRAE THE TRUTH SLIM THUG, AND ZRO...in the pic....

 

I think trading Head with a filler (another player, cash, pick) for a backup center would be good. At least fairly good if Mutombo doesn't resign which I highly doubt.

But with all the people coming in and out Head has became a minor player, we got Brent Barry who at least brought something, veteran experience.

We don't need JVG players like Luther Head, Steve Novak, Chuck Hayes. Those people need to be signed off and first player is Head.

I don't hate him but he has to go.

What happened to Steve Novak to Clippers?

And yes, we have Mike Harris on a roster, Joey Dorsey plus the new two kids on the block from R.Artest trade.

 

i hear the locker room is short on towels.

 

We could use a servicable big man with size. Maybe Luther could bring you somebody like Raef LaFrentz,Brad Miller, or Scott Pollard. Any one of these guys fit Adelman's system well. Plus, with Yao's injury history and Deke's age, there is absolutely no size on the roster. That could be a major problem.

 

The only guy that can be obtainable is Pollard(UFA I believe). However,he is way off his glory days and wouldn't be of much use IMO. Brad Miller has a 2 year 11.3M contract,and LaFrentz who I think is done as a player has a 12.7M expiring contract.
If Brad is brought out by the Kings (which is unlikely),the Rockets should go after him.

 

Head has gotten alot of heat from one bad season don't you think? I mean I think we should trade him. But before this year he was our young streaky shooter. 9pts his rookie season then 11pts the next year. Then he had this awful year. I think we can still get somthing decent for Head. A rebouding center. That could provid alot of boards while Yao is out.

 

It's not out of the realms of possibility to get a rebounding center for him but most teams don't trade big for small.

 

I agree, that's why I think we shouldn't package him by his self. We should add in Hayes depending what we can get.

 

Sherlock mentioned that David Lee is no longer wanted in NY,if that is so the Rockets should target him with Hayes,Head,possibly Harris and either/both of the 2 2nd round picks. It probably won't be enough,but that's what I think should be done.
I like Chuck and I wouldn't throw him away but Lee is better than him.

 

Filler would have to be thrown in for Lee, but even then I don't think we can pull it off. David Lee is still a very good player and has alot of value. I think Head would be good on this team, but they have alot of gaurds already and don't really need him.

I just realized how many players we have though:

1. Raefer, Brooks, SF3, Singletary
2. TMac, Barry, Head
3. Artest, Shane
4. Scola, Landry, Hayes, Harris
5. Yao, Deke, Dorsey, PE Jr.

If we sign Deke, PE Jr and Singletary will be cut. We actually had more players last year, but this year, Head won't play for sure lol.

And getting Stephen Jackson is a downgrade from battier, getting Damon Jones is a downgrade from Jonh Lucas Jr.

 

I really don't understand why the Rockets and New Orleans could not have done a sign and trade that would have included Hayes and Head for Pargo....that would have been almost the exact same $3.8 mil deal for Pargo that he got for one year in Russia, but he would have been on a NBA championship contender. New Orleans got nothing for losing him, where they could have helped their bench with Hayes (2yrs) and Head (1yr), without making any long term commitments.

Unless Morey has a better deal up his sleeves for these two guys, or he really believes that he will end up not resigning Carl Landry, I can't see why we let that opportunity pass us up. If we had to pass it up because of the Carl Landry issue, that really sucks. This Landry deal is holding up our final power moves to complete this championship squad. Hope it gets done soon, but doubt it.

 

Hey how about Luther Head for Sean Williams???

 

I don't think we're looking for a shooting guard in half a point gaurd's body in Pargo...

 

I don't think Pargo would have helped this team much. The guy is a relatively high volume but mediocre % shooter (and in contrast to Alston, doesn't play that level of defense or care with the ball). If we want an SG with some PG skills to give us spot PG minutes Barry is the better option.

Head is better than Damon Jones, so I think that idea was really bad (unless we got a 1st round pick).
