Random Houston Rockets Trade Ideas - 2012-13

We don't need a traditional PF. Dwight wants to develop a post game, if so we need a stretch 4 and we already have one in chandler Parsons. We need rebs of course but we don't need a PF who is just going to clog the paint on O. If only Parsons can get a little bigger.

 

I don't know... I'm not a capologist. Lol.. Probably have to ask Mr Bima But $30 million is $30 million no matter how you sum it up. And Lin's off the court value may not be as big in Atlanta as it is in Houston.

 

This...

 

Parsons Has been working on getting bigger slowly as not to lose his explosiveness. Now from what posters on here were saying before is that D-mo has put on quite a bit of weight this off season and appears to really be trying to bulk up.

 

Ryan Anderson - Probably the best 3 point shooter at the PF spot. Doesn't give you much else.

Ersan Ilyasova - Can shoot the 3 and is a good rebounder.

Then of course, Love and Aldridge (pipe dream)

 

If Parsons could bulk up a little, he could be a good stretch 4. Wouldnt mind putting Parsons at the 4 and trading for a SF?

The only problem Parsons would have would be defending bigger PF's. HE may get out muscled.

 

Exactly. I just think LMA won't be all that hard to get. He is probably going to be the oldest starter in his prime on that trailblazers team, and his contract makes no sense passed next season. I also think that no FA is going to want to leave their respective team just to play with LMA and maybe Lillard. I can see them wanting to get younger.

 

That is what dwight is for. Imagine shooting bigs like dirk, I feel that Parsons is fully capable of defending guys like dirk. Guys like bosh however...

 

I wonder if the Hawks would be willing to trade Horford if they got a great haul? Probably not... but if we're going to dream about LMA/Love scenarios, Horford seems equally competent. He is surprisingly very very good shooter, evne out to 3, for a traditional PF. He's just good.

I'd give up any combination or all of Asik, Lin, one of TJones/DMo, our 2014 first round pick and Isiah Cannon.

Horford is really good, and locked up at only $12 million per year.

Doubt the Hawks are interested, but Horford strikes me as a PF, even though he's had success playing center. They signed Milsap. Asik/Milsap and adding Jeremy Lin to replace Teague, plus the other bits added... the Hawks don't go backwards that's for sure. May not get a ton better, but they're not anyway.

 

So Rockets need a better PF and Asik would be great in Boston. He's a willing screener in the P&R with Rondo, and if you add another team to shed some more salary for the C's. How bout add the Bobcats in a S&T for Gerald Henderson to the C's?

Houston Trades Omer, Garcia, and Papanikalaou
Portalnd Trades CJ McCollum & Wes Mathews

This is a complete knee jerk seeing how CJ is playing in summer league. But CJ is controlling the game with ease. Also Wes will be a good back up for Harden/Parsons. Also another reason I suggest this is because IF CJ's skill can translate into the regular season, this will set us up to trade Lin. Also we shed a tiny bit of salary with this trade.

Yes I overrate kleiza lol. Also guys like fab melo or monta ellis for example.. I've seen but I haven't seen if you know what I mean. I might have rated a guy like monta ellis lower than should have. Also I didnt include garnett or pierce since they are newly traded and almost too old and untouchable anyway. I mean for example I dont see Brooklyn accepting Asik for Garnett for example.. so I dont see much point in listing a guy like Garnett or pierce. its my list so chill/.

Here is my random but deliberate need and targets:
PG
Number 1 target
Rubio or Damian Lillard or Tony Parker

AND

PF
Number 1 target
Aldridge or Nowitzski or Love or Millsap

I want a PG AND a PF and I want both. I think we can get both if we play our cards right. Yes I am hungry.

We have as our pieces to offer- Lin,Asik,Beverly, Garcia, Picks, Dmo, Djones. rights to lull ( worth doo doo?)

Getting back to to the list of
Rubio or Damian Lillard or Tony Parker
We keep an eye on parker, but we know Spurs not yet probably ready to rebuild. Also to get parker we would have to lose a lot to get him..even though a team of parker harden and howard makes my nipples hard.

So that leaves us Damian Lillard or Rubio as 2 guys that make me squeal. I am in love with what rubio could do with parsons harden and howard. It makes me go nuts just the thought. perhaps in a bad moment either POR or MIN crap out.. and then maybe somehow someway get Aldridge or millsap or Love to go with either a lillard or a rubio. Yes I am dreaming.

So I think priority #1 should be Lillard or Rubio. At the end of the day we need someone to get the ball to harden and howard. Thats tony parker. But yep we just said that will take a lot to get him. So to really get the ball to howard or harden, I like actually rubio of the rubio parker lillard choice.

Ideally we could try to also take Love or Aldridge somehow. I feel like in a bad moment POR might look at something as weak as asik +garcia +Dmo+ Djones+ picks as much filler as needed for aldridge.

In the right situation I mean if portland was on a rebuilding dumping top players mode aldridge and lillard are the 2 to think of. I mean can you imagine somehow scraping lillard and aldridge? Mother of god imagine
howard
Aldridge
Parsons
Harden
Lillard

I dont think Lin,Asik,Beverly, Garcia, Picks, Dmo, Djones is enough to get POR to budge on any level to get both lillard AND aldridge but if their GM was in completely blow up mode and wanted to smoke some crank we would offer it. it could mean something for portland to rebuild with:

Asik
Dmo
Garcia
Beverly
Lin

Tons of picks and room for POR to use without any burdens of lillard or Aldridge contracts going forward. Problem with that scheme is paying Lin and I dont see POR wanting to pay Lin. Lin is on the hook for some dough next 2 years albeit only a 2 year bite for POR to chew. and lin and can bring that precious 'asian' market to POR grin. yeah right I know. This is the internet I am jacking off to ideas in a trade thread if you read this far just calm down. I am openly trying to make this happen.

Thats why it might make more sense to try and use lin to get rubio and use asik to get Alridge. and then use beverly and garcia and maybe give portland
Beverly Asik fillers for Aldridge

and
Lin+garcia + fillers for rubio

I am sure there are some realities of numbers and yes I am dreaming but if you tinker it around enough it *could* start to come together.

I think you cant touch parsons. If you could get parsons to parlay that into a top tier 3rd option then yeah you lose parsons, but I am probably too biased. I think parsons for the salary and what he is is a great chess piece and part of starting 5. He's 6 foot 9. Larry bird was 6 foot 9. there I just compared parsons to bird. Blasphemy you say? Yes I am manic right now about or squad and feeling damn good. I mean would you do Asik and Parsons + filler for Love?

That gives us:
Howard
Love
?? at Small Forward
Harden
Lin

How does that feel.

I still love this one the most of ALL:

Howard
Aldridge
Parsons
Harden
Rubio

sorry so long/to rant.

IF YOU CAN DREAM IT YOU CAN
BELIEVE IT
Go Rockets

 

INBL? You should change your name to TLDNR..

 

and not a single word was read.........

 

man you guys are hilarious.

tl;dr
Simply put who do you want to add to harden and howard?

 

You are so cool but who do you want to add to harden and howard?

 

Obviously I agree with Aldridge and Love as likely targets. I am a bit scared of Love. Eager to see how he comes back this year.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nn73lq9

Howard/Haywood
Jones/Motiejunas
Parsons/Garcia
Harden/Taylor/Walker
Walker/Beverly

I like this deal because it gives us depth at backup center, backup shooting guard (a good defender) and then another scorer in the backcourt. I fully expect Kemba to improve his long distance shooter and be better than Lin there long term. I just like that guy a lot I guess.

 

Interesting trade proposal.
You think losing lin and asik is worth walker and haywood?

Rep for actually talking about 'Roster Moves' as the name of this forum indicates and not about parsons hair, emo issues, etc. God forbid people want to talk roster moves and sports and not about the banner at the press conference or what dwight ate at breakfast.
