Random Houston Rocket Trade Ideas 2020-2021

Morey may be the only GM who will take a chance on an All Star even if they have already stated a different preferred destination.

 

this is great because it's realistic and win win win for all!

 

Switch KZ for Nunn and I like it better.

 

To win this year maybe. But if I'm Stone I try to snag Precious who I think can help take the physical load off of Wood so Wood can concentrate on getting buckets.

 

I do too. But it sounds like Miami is hot and heavy for Beal (which makes sense, he is the better player) so I will make it worth Miami's while to go for Dipo (by offerring Dipo at a price that justifies them going that route) because I really want Precious to team him up with Wood. There are several posters here who have equated Precious with Montrezl but I dont see that as a good comp as Achiuwa's defense can be his calling card and Harrell is not a very good defender.

 

Nothing against Beal but we traded Harden away to rebuild. Not to rebuild the Wizards.

Nothing against them, really, it's a principal thing. We traded Harden to rebuild, I think people want to prove it really wasn't him or this team is still good or whatever but that isn't the point anymore. Good golly I do not want to be Lebron's first round sacrificial lamb.

 

Getting the NBA leading scorer + our top 3 defense would be considerable.

There is no guarantee that any draft picks will give us anything close to that.

 

Or just dive in deeper on what we do best, defense.

Defense wins championships!

Either wait until Feb 2 or break up trade into 2 separate and send BMac, House for not likely to be conveyed SRP right now.

WAS: Oladipo, House, McLemore + 3 FRP (2 76ers, 1 Rockets - Detroit heavily protected) + 3 pick swaps (76ers)

PHI: Beal, Tucker

HOU: Simmons, Thybulle, Korkmaz + 76ers unprotected 2027 FRP

*Wiz get All Star in Dipo, 40% 3P in BMac, starter in House + 3 FRP + 3 pick swaps (Hardenesque)

*6ers get NBA leading scorer to pair with MVP candidate Embiid + glue 3-D defender PJ

*Rockets add 2 elite LONG defenders to their top 3 defense + 40% 3P shooter Korkmaz (also a 6'7 PG/wing) + unprotected 2027 FRP.

6'10 Simmons/6'4 Wall/6'4 Jones
6'3 EGo/6'7 Korkmaz/6'4 Porter
6'5 Brown/6'5 Nwaba/6'6 Exum
6'5 Thybulle/6'4 Tate/6'6 KJ
6'10 Wood/6'10 Cousins/6'9 Kurucs

Defense is 3 deep - that's off the chain.

Plus at least ONE sniper in every unit.

And min 2 ball handlers in every unit.

I mean if you want to play the guarantees game...

I guess I'd rather take 8 swings at it instead of believing the answer is Wall and Beal when the evidence for that is available online for free.

 

Not Wall and Beal.

Beal and Wood.

Wall is a rental.

 

I don't think calling Wall a rental is even remotely accurate. Anyone with multiple years and especially at the figure he carries is a core piece by default. So, not Beal and Wood. Wall, Beal and Wood.

And Eric Gordon.

Masai Ujiri has Morey beat on that front.

 

We will see.

Rehab Wall's value for season and a half and I believe he's traded.

Stone is collecting and hoarding FRPs.

 

Miami's 1st choice is Beal.

 

Would that appeal to Beal though?

 

Zach Lavine or Bradley Beal?

Who has the more upside?

And which player would be better fit with Wood and easier to acquire?

 

Do we care if it appeals to Beal?

He is not a Rocket.
