Houston Rockets Rumours

08 Nov 2023 07:27:58
Bulls/76ers

Bulls
Get
Tobias Harris
Furkan Korkmaz
Danuel House Jr
2026 1st.via Thunder or Rockets or Clippers
2028 1st.via Clippers
2028 1st Swap with 76ers (Least Favorable Protected)

76ers
Get
Zach LaVine
Patrick Williams
2028 1st Swap with Bulls (More Favorable Protected)

09 Nov 2023 13:38:11
I think this is a fair trade but i want to see the Sixers swing a deal for a more complimentary guy to Maxey and Embiid. Zach might get some of Maxey's touch and that could be bad for Tyrese.

05 Nov 2023 13:45:40
1) OKC-Nets
OKC: Bridges
Nets:Bertrans+J Williams+ 1rnd pick Clip 24+ 1rnd pick Hou 25

2)OKC-Wolves
OKC:KAT
Wolves:Dort+ Pokusevski+K Williams. 1rnd pick Hou 24+ 1rnd pick Miami 25+1rnd pick Philly 25

OKC
C:KAT
PF:Holmgren
SF:Bridges
SG:Giddey
PG:SGA

05 Nov 2023 19:16:06
If OKC wants KAT, Holmgren has to be going to Minnesota.

06 Nov 2023 01:03:25
I see Chet as more valuable than Towns.

06 Nov 2023 03:23:01
Chet is waaaaay more valuable than KAT.

09 Oct 2023 19:46:01
The prime of Irving and Embiid are quite similar over the next 3-4 years. Ask yourselfs, if you add Embiid to NY, Orlando, OKC, Nets, Bulls, Hornets or Rockets, will you immediatelly in it all?

But if you add Embiid to Dallas, you may win immeditally!

Mavs offer 4 x 1st picks, that is a lot for Embiid, maybe the best Center/Forward but becomes 30y and has never play more than 60 games a season!

Before the voices go up, Mavs do not have picks, wait a second. First you send Lively, a very good Rookie, if y ask Towns or Gobert they say "it is a good one"!

You have Prosper and Hardy or you send Prosper to NY or Wizards and Hardy to Orlando or Toronto to get a first back on each and you send Mavs 2026 1st.

DAL Embiid, Bamba (TE)
PHX Embiid, 3xst, Hardaway, Holmes
ORL Hardy
WIZ Prosper

09 Oct 2023 20:39:38
Ok, do not drink Scotch and post . it is PHI that gets Lively :: ) )

09 Oct 2023 23:03:18
Embiid won't want to play for a lottery team.

10 Oct 2023 09:01:52
You are right, :) this is why he goes to Dallas. ;)

10 Oct 2023 21:14:31
The only player on Dallas's team that would be worth a 1st Rd pick is Doncic. Granted, you would get quite a few by trading him, but Hardy and Prosper are both worth a late 2nd Rd pick at best. Embiid won't be traded to Dallas without Doncic being moved, and what's the point if it costs you Doncic?

10 Oct 2023 21:50:22
You have to respect different oppinions - also if you think they are highly nonsence. So if you think, I do different and some GM as well.

11 Oct 2023 12:04:14
We actually don't have to respect different opinions, especially when certain opinions are based in fantasy land and not reality.

16 Oct 2023 19:29:20
Do you cite Mr. Trump? ; )

25 Sep 2023 11:53:20
Houston gets-
M. Brogdon

Houston gives-
KPJ, J. Tate, 2024 2nd via OKC, 2025 2nd (own), 2025 2nd via OKC, 2026 2nd (own)

Dump KPJ and get the perfect 3rd guard, obviously contingent on Brogdon passing a physical.

Indiana gets-
J. Tate

Indians gives-
D. Theis

Theis doesn't fit the fast style Indy wants to play. They already have Turner, Jackson, and Smith, and could use a veteran defensive forward.

Washington gets-
KPJ (waive), 2024 1st via Boston (lottery protected), 2024 2nd via OKC, 2025 2nd via Hou, 2025 2nd via OKC

Washington gives-
T. Jones

Collecting assets, I don't believe Tyus Jones are in their future plans.

Boston gets-
T. Jones, D. Theis, 2026 2nd via Hou

Boston gives-
M. Brogdon, 2024 1st (own, lottery protected) (waive Banton)

Get the perfect back up PG and a familiar quality depth big. Better financial flexibility going forward. Gives a 1st but still has one from GS, and picks up a potentially valuable 2nd.

25 Sep 2023 13:50:20
Good idea.

04 Sep 2023 15:04:34
Rockets- giannis

Bucks- smith, green, tate, porter (send elsewhere for a 1st), 3 1sts, 2 swaps

A king's ransom if giannis wants to leave

Rockets

Vanvleet holiday
Thompson whitmore
Brooks eason
Giannis green
Sengun londale

04 Sep 2023 17:27:59
This does make sense for both teams. It's a slight overpay, but that's what is going to take to land Giannis.

05 Sep 2023 14:50:31
that's a nice package for Giannis.

01 Sep 2023 18:20:09
Cleveland gets: Tari Eason
Houston gets: Dean Wade, draft rights to Luke Travers, Khalifa Diop & 5 second round picks of their choice.

Why?
Cleveland addresses a need @ the wing.
Houston gets a nice package for a guy buried in their bench.

03 Sep 2023 14:02:38
Eason has more value than this. Houston doesn't need any more picks. Cleveland scraps don't net great prospects.

30 Aug 2023 05:42:06
Cleveland gets: Jalen Green, Collin Sexton & Amen Thompson
Houston gets: Donovan Mitchell
Utah gets: Kevin Porter Jr. & Ricky Rubio

Why?
Cleveland goes for cost-controlled players with upside.
Houston wants to win, so adding Mitchell makes sense.
Utah gets a guy on a very valuable contract who can also contribute.

30 Aug 2023 10:11:58
It's a fair price for Mitchell

And that Cleveland team would be awesome.

31 Aug 2023 14:10:01
Wouldn’t the Rockets have the same problem having 2 short guards?

31 Aug 2023 14:11:03
Still confused why Cavs would want to get rid of Mitchell. He’s a superstar you need to win a chip.

01 Sep 2023 00:47:19
One thing I appreciate about your trades whether I think it’s believable or not is the explanation of why. Good stuff.

30 Aug 2023 02:54:55
Cleveland gets: Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore & Jae'Sean Tate
Houston gets: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Cleveland goes for younger, cost controlled players & add much needed wing depth.
Houston lands a borderline superstar for a decent price.

14 Aug 2023 19:33:19
Cleveland receives: Jabari Smith, Tari Eason & Cam Whitmore
Houston receives: Evan Mobley & Isaac Okoro

Why?
Cleveland adds spacing & a much needed wing.
Houston gets one of the best young players in the league & a guy who fits well defensively next to Sengun.

18 Jul 2023 04:39:28
Cleveland receives: Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., & Amen Thompson
Houston receives: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Cavs might as well get something valuable in return for a guy who is set to hit free agency two years from now.
Houston gets one of the best young guards in the league.

18 Jul 2023 15:47:37
I honestly think the Rockets lose this trade. How do they convince Mitchell to stay?

10 Jul 2023 01:12:24
Rockets: Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard

Blazers: Jabari Smith Jr, Kevin Porter Jr., Malcolm Brogdon, 2024 1sr rd dp (Celtics), 2024 2nd rd dp (Celtics)

Celtics: Damian Lillard, JaeSean Tate and Tari Eason.

10 Jul 2023 02:51:41
Seems light for Portland.

10 Jul 2023 03:11:54
Thins out Houston on frontcourt.

10 Jul 2023 08:59:28
No bigs for Rockets anymore.

10 Jul 2023 11:26:02
@Rektamo: the Rockets would still have Sengun, Jeff Green, Jack Landale and Cam Whitmore, but the Celtics could even add Luke Kornet to the Rockets and the money would still work (I guess) . He’s serviceable.

08 Jul 2023 17:24:12
Thinking about this deal:

Houston/Toronto

Houston get Boucher, 2 2nds

Toronto get KPJ

The Raptors are thin on guards and the Rockets need some back up bigs. I believe Porter is the superior player i just dont know how to value him honestly

08 Jul 2023 22:45:42
I don't think Boucher has much value. Porter is still young & on a team friendly deal, so it feels a little bit off in terms of value.

06 Jul 2023 03:36:38
Rockets - Embiid
76ers - Sengun Smith KPJ Tate and picks

Wolves - Harden
76ers - Conley and Anderson

Maxey
KPJ
Harris
Smith
Sengun

FVV
Green
Brooks
Eason
Embiid

Harden
Edwards
McDaniels
Towns
Gobert

06 Jul 2023 10:53:48
Incredibly bad for Philly.

06 Jul 2023 13:16:19
I feel like it’s decent for Embiid

Sengun is a possible future all star center
Smith was last years 3rd pick and will be a 20+ PPG guy with solid defense
KPJ is a young 19/ 5/ 5 on a reasonable deal

Add in multiple picks too + Maxey being there and that’s a solid young core to build around.

28 Jun 2023 17:56:55
The #Rockets are projected to offer Fred VanVleet a 2 year 83.6M contract at the start of free agency, according to
@TheSteinLine
.

28 Jun 2023 21:26:51
$40 million per season sounds like a lot, but it's only two years. There's very little risk for the Rockets.

28 Jun 2023 23:36:58
raptors are said to be willing to go to 130 for 4 years with a player option on the last. i'd be surprised if the opening offer was less than 3 years and 100M.

29 Jun 2023 01:34:52
Maybe I am out of touch but I didn't think FVV qualified for a contract with the first year starting with a 4.

27 Jun 2023 09:38:32
Houston get Cade Cunningham and James Wiseman

Detroit get Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith

27 Jun 2023 09:45:04
Why would Detroit do this?
It's fair value, but i can't see Detroit doing it.

27 Jun 2023 19:40:23
That's really intriguing, pairing the twin brothers is interesting & they get Jabari Smith as well.

27 Jun 2023 19:52:00
Lmao fair value my foot. Cade is untouchable.

27 Jun 2023 23:33:19
Cade has the brightest future out of all in this proposal.

27 Jun 2023 23:34:34
Houston would have to give up Green too and some first round picks if they want Detroit to take it seriously, otherwise Troy Weaver laughs and hangs up.

28 Jun 2023 03:26:37
Cade isn’t that valuable atm lol.

28 Jun 2023 05:45:35
In terms of what you’re suggesting.

28 Jun 2023 16:07:50
Currently no but in a year this will look like a Dalcon trade.

24 Jun 2023 15:58:52
Thunder send:
Davis Bertans, Lugentz Dort, Jalen Williams (the good one), Houston’s ‘24 first round pick

Pelicans send:
Zion Williamson.

24 Jun 2023 19:42:39
Oh thank God you’re including the good one…. That makes this offer bad instead of really really really bad.

25 Jun 2023 12:33:27
I think it's a good base for a trade, but OKC needs to give more.

Bertrans+ J Williams (the good one) + Dort+ Holmgren for Zion.

25 Jun 2023 20:23:13
Still not near enough.

23 Jun 2023 20:53:07
Hou- OG, Young

Tor- Porter Jr, Washington, Tate, 2 1sts & pick swap

Rockets great young core with potential leader in OG

Amen Free Agent
Green Christopher
OG Eason Whitmore
Smith Martin Young
Sengun Garuba

Raptors get backcourt depth & assets just about right for OG. Pascal seems committed with the Raps

Porter Washington Flynn
Barnes Trent Jr
Tate Dick porter
Siakam boucher
Poeltl achiuwa Koloko

22 Jun 2023 13:47:11
Rockets if they dont land harden

Hou- t young & collins

Atl- 4th pick, porter jr, j smith, j tate & 1st rd pick future

Young
Green
Eason
Collins
Sengun

Murray
Porter
Hunter
Smith
Capela

22 Jun 2023 13:30:52
Boston gets-
K. Martin Jr

Houston gets-
Brogdon

Boston saves 20.5 mil and houston wants vets.

Boston re-signs Grant Williams and gets to use their TPMLE (Westbrook)

22 Jun 2023 14:29:37
Westbrook would be awesome in Boston
I would like to see him winning a title in Green.

20 Jun 2023 00:42:04
Rockets: Brown, Pritchard

Celtics: Smith Jr, Tate, Martin Jr., pick #4.

20 Jun 2023 03:55:09
Celtics would need more than that.

20 Jun 2023 11:26:52
I would do that in a second if I were Boston.
