Random Houston Rocket Trade Ideas 2018-19

No.

This infatuation with Covington is laughable.

He is not better than Gordon.

Forget about him.

 

I like that trade a lot. In a perfect world you would have Iguodola here also and start House.

Westbrook, Rivers, Iguodola, Tucker, and Chandler/Hartenstein would seem to be a interesting bench to play against a lot of teams.

 

Is the Blake Griffin to Houston trade rumor I just heard legit?

 

I sure hope not. What did you hear?

 

Just kill me now.

 

Yes and no.

 

This may be the most viable solution. Identifying potential cuts that Rockets can sign for vet min.

 

Just don’t want older players patching themselves together #ringchasers that cost the team long term. I don’t want to pay Tuesday for a hamburger today. When the hamburger is already showing signs of being a leftover.

 

I did see Detroit was trying to trade Blake Griffin.

 

I'm going to be sick.

 

I think it was speculation. Houston and Miami were mentioned as possible spots to take him, but it was someone saying, "Well, maybe......"

 

Where did you hear this?

 

Capela + Shumpert for Griffin. Maybe...

 

hopefully.

most underrated player in the NBA.

 

In December for Westbrook, maybe. Otherwise we'd have to give up half our rotation, no thanks.

 

i’m open to trading Capela for a 3/4 or 4/3 player if we can surely nab Jarret Allen..

 

Griffin here would be an unbelievable get. Doubt we have the assets though.

 

I just don't see Tilman paying for three super-duper max contracts at the same time. Golden State, yes. Philadelphia? Apparently. Not too many teams pony up that kind of cash on three players, and only an invasion-of-the-body-snatchers pod version of Tilman Fertitta would pony up.

Unless, of course, his crystal ball told him he'd make a buttload of money with the three stars.

Anyway, again, just a sportswriter jerking off.

 

I thought CBA prohibited us from having three max players on our team?

 

Would rather have Robert Covington. Would not require gutting core of team to aquire, better contract and fits need - 3/4 that is elite defender and lights out 3 point shooter.

Griffin is ball dominant 4 on bloated contract + history of injuries. Acquiring Blake would gut core as well as depth, this would be exacerbated by his history of availability.
