Rockets and Mavericks talking trade

I'm glad they're trying to move into draft positions, I'm hoping they have a diamond in the rough mapped out.

If they manage to find a kid in there who will outwork, out-skill, out-do some rotation players, that'll be better than any big free agent signing for me.

 

I don’t know man I’m a little suspicious about why they want #10. I don’t think they want two young guys. There’s already a lot of youth on the roster for a team trying to make the playoffs.

Feeling like we might send #4, #10ish pick and two of Christopher/Garuba/KJ/Tyty to acquire Scoot and a bad contract.

 

With CHA that has to be Hayward or Rozier. Might be worth it if you get your PG for the next 10+ years.

 

I'm guessing we would also take on a bad contract from the Mavs (Bertans, Hardaway, etc.).

 

garuba tate kjm plus 20 for 10 a second and bertrans is the right deal

then trade 4 for 6 and 11

move jc for a second rounder

draft at 6 10 11

get 3 of 4 of black bilal hendricks podziemski

 

If the Rockets can't move up, they are stuck with two young guys anyway because the #20 is also a guaranteed contract. Our roster is filled with young players we're not really committed to. Why not explore trade up options while clearing the logjam? I don't know what it would take to get the #10, but no one would cry over losing KMJ, Tate, Christopher, Tyty, or Garuba if we're getting another lottery pick. I would be upset if we gave up a future pick though.

 

We are currently drafting 420 (4 + 20).

Can we afford to not puff puff pass?

 

Yeah but I think we can also give them a BKN pick plus a young player that might fit around Luka/Kyrie.

Maybe send Tate the other way to preserve a little more cap space.

If it means we come out of the draft with:

Sengun
Jabari
Eason
Green
Henderson

plus a max cap slot (minimum), no bad long term contracts and a few future picks…

That’s worth a LOT to me. Really special core with very little risk in my opinion.

I don’t think they’re keeping the #20 unless someone falls really far in the draft maybe.

I don’t believe it’s time to get rid of a bunch of our young guys in favor of a #20 pick. Would rather give all of them another try, even KPJ.

Maybe if it was higher like #10 I’d be more on board but at #20 I’d rather convert that to a future pick that has at least a small chance of being better.

 

we need to move kmjr jc and garuba while they can net us draft value and update to younger guys on cheap 4 yr rookie deals

 

If we were to trade player A plus #20 to move up to #10 this late in the game, would we be allowed to use #10 to move up more without player A passing a physical? Seems like a lot of moving parts and not much time.

 

Translation: Houston, if you want to swap for #10, give us Sengun. Your current offers of Garuba + (one of Tate/KMJ/JC) or Garuba + that + future considerations is not enough.

 

If that's the case, Cuban can pound sand. We're not the desperate ones here.

 

Anyone ese think we wont know for all night until drFt is in 2nd round who is a rocket?

DD

 

Could be that or it could be a short evening.
So hard to predict these things.

 

Cuban is an arrogant ass whose actions over the the years have f**ked the Mavericks. So NOW he wants to get a center especially after he and Kidd were strutting around boasting about how the Mavs play "positionless" basketball. Yeah, good luck with that Mark.

 

Bingo!

 

Lively will likely be available at #10. That's his natural fallback and not a bad one.
