Official 2012 Rockets Trade Rumors Thread

[WhiteSoxGod]

Alright well me and you are on the same page when it come to Parsons then. As far as the offseason goes, I thought you were saying get CP3 AND Josh Smith. I dont see where our 2nd round picks are coming from though. It says we owe the Hawks a 2nd round pick this year and the Bucks next year (Both top 40 protected) and just to clarify, you're saying we CANT trade our 2014 first round pick, correct? So, if the Hawks will really take Patterson, Aldrich, Delfino and one of the last second round picks (It seems to me we only have future Knicks 2nds) then we take it immediately

Yeah just look at the last block. Only one of our second rounders might be gone next year but it is top 40 protected. We would still have 2 picks I imagine we could always flip Parsons for a 1st rounder if we needed 1 to make a big trade. No we cannot trade our 2014 1st rd pick unless we manage to add another 2014 1st rd pick.

Again, we will see I just think that the Rockets need to do something and that would present a perfect opportunity. Atlanta gave all that cash to Joe Johnson let's not overestimate their intelligence, lol.

YAY!!!!

Lol get a number 2 option and get rid of Royce white. Love it.

[EDUTEXANS]

No you're wrong my friend. We have our 2014 1st rd draft pick. This below is our draft pick status.

Regardless, we wouldn't have to include a 1st rd pick, are you serious. The speculation is the Rockets would include 1 maybe 2 2nd rd picks.

We do not have a first round pick next year (By that I mean this year (2013)), the link you posted says it itself. The pick will be ours if we don't make the playoffs but we can't trade until then, because the pick simply isn't ours anymore.

Edit: After reading again and a quick look at a calendar, I found out 2014 isn't next year lol. The thing is, we can't trade our 2014 pick because if we make the playoffs we will be without first round picks next draft (2013) and we will be without first round picks in 2014 too, and according to the new CBA signed last year that's not possible, teams cannot be without first picks in consecutive years. So that's why we cannot trade our 2014 pick, even though it's ours.

[TaylorMays]

This year is 2013. Next year is 2014.
Here's the 2012 NBA draft:

The Hawks own this years pick (2013) and its lottery protected so we cant trade next years pick (2014)

[EDUTEXANS]

You know what I meant, next draft is 2013. But yes, that's what I'm saying, we don't have first-round picks to trade.

[TaylorMays]

I honestly thought you thought this draft was 2012 for some reason and were trying to say we could trade our pick this year. my bad

YAY!!!!

That would hurt our bench a little bit, and we would have only 11 players under contract after the trade, we would ahve to take someone back. If we could include Morris and maybe Aldrich and keep both Delfino and Douglas or at least delfino to come off the bench, I'd be happy with that trade. I wanna see Delfino next year, he has been pretty good this season.

[Saddletramp]

Are the Grizzlies just supposed to release some guys to get all of ours on the 15 man roster?
I highly doubt anybody wants the Royce White headache.
Our bench is gone. I guess we can sign d-leaguers but it seems those guys are only good against The Rockets.
I doubt Memphis wants to trade Randolph within the division.
Memphis would never do this trade, regardless of it being in the division or not.
With no first rounders, and if they're not sold on Terrence Jones' potential, this would be laughed at by everyone in the world besides a handfull of Rockets homers.

[Verbal Christ]

if memphis' sole reason for making such a move is a salary dump, which by many accounts thats exactly what it is, well then you have leverage. randolph is a good player, but many people feel that he's starting to decline and perhap is overpaid. the rockets could absorb such a contract and send out much less in return. im no CBA wizard but i do know we are significantly under the cap, and why couldnt the rockets trade a 'future' 1st round pick in the deal giving memphis the option to pick what year. not too many teams are under the cap AND have the assets in place to facilitate a deal. or even become a 3rd team in something bigger. maybe the grizz value montiejunas more than jones? i think you may be underselling the idea that the rockets could get this done.

i dont think anyone is being serious when they include royce white in trade talk, that is persona non grata.

Draft picks would have to be involved of course...

[sep11ie]

BTW I would trade Parsons in the right deal without hesitation, why are we forcing Beverly in there when TD was playing just fine(I'd almost rather have him start and Lin as 6th man), and for Jesus's sake we need a PF.

[EDUTEXANS]

I see good potential in Beverly, but there's nothing wrong about letting him out learning a little bit more. It doesn't make sense that Beverly is playing while Douglas was playing well, and Jones and Motiejunas don't get a chance with Patterson and Morris struggling.

[Tmac,lt,berkman]

Would anybody do a trade of Patrick Patterson Marcus morris Cole Aldrich tony Douglas and Jeremy lin for tyreke Evans and demarcus cousins? I know it's a long shot but just asking

[sep11ie]

Show me one person in the world that wouldn't do that.
