Would you be disappointed if Morey doesn't pull off a significant trade at the deadline?

I would say "no" for now since I don't think there is something significant that is readily available. Let's face it, Asik + fillers will not get us the 3rd star we need. I just don't see a significant piece being traded away at the deadline. I hope I am wrong though.

 

yes...unless asik comes back and stop being a puss

 

Depends on Asik's attitude, if he's gonna b**** and moan for the rest of the season, then I would be disappointed we didn't trade him

 

Morey isn't going to just go all in on a trade and just say "this is it".

He won't do a cap clearing trade in the sense of a salary dump either. Expect something Inbetween. I'm guessing he wants vets to plug in at multiple positions. For instance all of our rookies got slaughtered against ibaka. You could assume camby is that player but their are way to many questions on his playing ability at this moment.

I think the hardest part of the Asik trade is finding a team willing to take him, even if he op claims he is a top 3 centre (which he is not, maybe top 5 defensively but that's it) their are not that many teams both morey/ the other team willing to do a trade to acquire him IMO. His average cost when dealt at the deadline will be a player on just over 12 million.

 

I say no, the season is already going as predicted... so a minor change in roster or no change to the roster wouldn't bother me... however I really do want to get a back up C and more shooters and plays proper D

 

Yes. This team very clearly needs some help. Sure, we're a playoff team, but we don't have enough to be champions at the moment.

 

Morey has stated this at the beginning of the year. The Rockets lack the flexibility to add pieces this season because of CBA restrictions.

To Morey this has always been a multi-year process. One where the best odds of the Rockets winning it all is not this year. You may disagree with his approach, and you may feel he's a failure if he doesn't put the best possible roster this season. But that is what his plans are.

So no, I don't believe we'll make a significant move besides Asik for something salvageable, if that. I see most likely something along the lines of a Bayless for Lee trade or Crawford for Douglas trade.

 

Asik definitely needs to GTFO by the trade deadline

 

Yes. Our superstars will only be in there prime for so long. If a trade isn't made for Asik, then this season is a waste. Asik doesn't want to be here and should've been traded this off season

 

Yes, mostly because theres always so much noise about this team. You just know it's going to heat up and there's going to be 500 Rockets trades reported before the deadline and 1 of them will actually go through. Never fails to psych me up for some reason.

 

All depends on where asik head is at, he play lma, zbo, Blake etc, that's something you will need In the playoffs. If Howard gets I'm foul trouble which he will plenty of times it will be a field day at the rim vs most teams in the west when he sits.

 

Rockets have always been an organization when a player does not want to be on the team they find a way to trade or wavier that player. Rockets I hope do make a trade and I believe IF they do, that trade will pay huge dividends for the team.

 

As good as Asik is, he is currently wasting space. He needs to be traded.

 

The only people that will be dissapointed are the people who post trade ideas in the random trades thread

 

My guess is that Morey would rather keep Assik than trade him for peanuts, especially if he thinks he can use him in an offseason deal. With Lin, I just don't see a market, we probably won't see Lin traded until the 2015 deadline, nor would I be surprised if he's here all the way until the end of his contract.

What would surprise me is if Morey doesn't make any trade at all. I still expect him to beef up the rotation with a backup for Dwight.

 

Of course not. There are plenty of stat-heavy teams that would pay handsomely for Asik. But as a Rockets fan would you like them?

For example, if the Mavs offer Dalembert and Shane Larkin for Asik, would you do it? What if OKC offers Perkins(salary matching), PJ3, and their own 1st? I would say Morey would reject such trades off hand, and they would be considered huge steals by the other team.
