Rockets acquire Thomas Robinson; Morris traded to Phoenix; Patterson, Douglas, Aldrich to Kings

I love this deal.

Robinson is averaging something like 11 points and 11 rebounds per 36 minutes in Sacramento - but we play more possessions. We have better coaching. We have a better locker room. We're a better environment.

And we have some of the best big men coaches in the league in McHale and Carroll Dawson. It also won't surprise me if he works with Dream or Moses some.

But all of that is if we keep him. I agree with those that mention he's an enticing prospect to include in a deal ala Derrick Favors. And that's true tomorrow but will be even more true by the next trade deadline if the Rockets can help this kid develop and progress in the next year.

AND we increase our cap room and add two second round picks?

Absolutely amazing.

Daryl Morey for President.

 

This is one of the comments from ESPN Thomas Robinson trade page that made me lol hard:


jrockespn
Sources tell me my sources got traded for an unreliable source.
1 Minute Ago

 

I'm inclined to agree, but even if it's a toss-up: There's 1 fewer PF in the rotation in front of TJ and Moti now. Shipping PP and MM out of the most crowded position for potential (TRob), cap space (1.5M) and roster flexibility (4 out, 3 in) is a win for the front office. I don't think the Smith trade is a great idea, but I'm happy with today regardless.

 

FINALLY!

Morley comes from behind his desk located in the asian marketing wing of the Rockets, takes his head out of his ass, looks around and sees that there are good moves to be made if you pay SOME attention.

This is a GREAT move.

 

Well, he's not exactly on good company lol

 

Sac make that trade because they win around 5 million (Douglas salary, 1,3 in cap ans 1 million cash).

And in the Suns trade, Morey cut suns cap space in 2 million.
I think that can help us tomorrow. Teams how are over the cap, needs to trade with us or with Cleveland or with the suns with a smaller space

Plus we have more cap space next year

 

:grin: now that made me laugh out loud.

Great move for youth; rebounding & cap space.

 

What did Jordan Hill turn into? Derek Fisher and what number draft pick? I think it netted us Terrence Jones some how.

 

someone is compaining about Morey's lack of moves? :grin:

 

Or Denver, who have a massive trade exception and 6+ mil under tax. they can absorb more than the Rockets.

 

Heard on the radio that Wexler said it was finally official.

 

Awesome day for Rockets fans. First the trade. Then the win over OKC. Awesome, just awesome.

Garcia can nail 3s too and Im keen to see what Honeycutt willl evolve into?

Is Robinson really 6'10 though? I thought he was 6'8.

 

We got Harden our version of Durant
JLin ... a more intelligent WB
.... and Trob can be a small Ibaka can't he?

Sounds like we're keeping him...but no one is untouchable in Morey's kingdom!

 

lol Morey drafts undersized players but turns into bigger ones

 

Somehow, I feel like you have had your head up your own ass if you can not recognize that Morey is known for making moves. ****, when Parsons is your longest tenured player, moves been made.

 

Morey found Parsons in the second round. Second round pics are more valuable than you think.
