Talks of trading asik, jones, and lin for a Thaddes and a rookie. Now we are starting to go off the deep end here. Now please stop making trade ideas that would kill us. You keep talking about us needing to trade so much for a 5th option PF when you have no faith in the PFs who have been practicing, training, improving, and building muscle. Please stop talking ludicrously.

I agree unfortunately  T-Young and MCW should not be on our radar. however the trade of Asik and Lin is more likely to happen than not (IMO) now T-Jones is off limits to me, but G-Smith maybe?

Smith doesn't gather much attention.

T Jones is a less talented Henson.

I like Henson, but I think T-Jones will be better.

[Buckko]

Jones can shoot, pass, handle the ball and drive to the basket, rebound, and shot block. He however plays faced up and has no post game, and we have yet to see his 3pt shot consistency and team defense play.

more on Lin

Lin is part of a young nucleus of talent on the Rockets, along with James Harden and Chandler Parsons. Lin, 25, is entering the second year of his three-year, $25 million contract. Lin said it was too early to talk about his future with the Rockets.

"Right now I know there's always speculation about what might happen," Lin said, "but I haven't made any decisions I haven't thought about it and I'm going to approach that question when the time comes."

 

 

if that's not a player who has doubts about whether he will be part of the team or not..... what is?
 

[bboley24]

Very true.  Talk about a kid with a head on his shoulders.  He knows Houston threw him a bone.  If he can't produce, DM will toss him to the wind.  All hail DM.

[timetodienow1234567]

Morey will trade Lin to the Shangahi Sharks for a lifetime supply of eggs rolls from the China delight. By the end of the year, Morey will win that trade as well.

Seriously?

[Steven]

Seriously?

If baseball players are traded for two dozen baseballs and a few bats, why not? Morey and Alexander made Lin their meal ticket.

I thought the Question was always "How to trade him?" instead of "Will HOU trade him?"

Yes we have discussed how, but will has also been part of it

True, he is not dumb, he definitely know something that we don't IMO. And I doubt he likes what he has heard during this summer.

I agree. how he responds may play into how long he is here. if the Rockets feel the relationship has been damaged it may move them to resolved it sooner

[Buckko]

Why do we have to go back to lin. All of you have obsessions about him. What happen to having decent and interesting conversation about Jones. Something productive.

I'm rooting for D-Mo.  There's something about the idea of having 2 faux-hawks and one mohawk on the court at the same time that makes me giddy.

Let's not forget about Omer's afro-like curls.

Looks like the Hair has competition. Most Sexy Hair award anyone?

i'd hope the howard pf option works the most as i think thats puts the most talent on the floor for the rockets.

 

Followed by DMO somehow learning to play defense (I could care less about reboudning w/ Howard out there, case in point, sans howard, Ryan Anderson almost became a passable rebounder instead of like 3-4 reb per game, so Howard does some work there).

 

I think tjones is capable of being the ultimate guy off the bench  who can come in a play either 3 or 4 for us and run some huge mismatches against 2nd teamers, (or slide parsons to 4 in a small lineup). I really think he can be something special on defense and could give us a 1 2 punch with parsons if he returns to form for the forward slots.

[RollingWave]

Well no, Ryan Anderson's career rebound is pretty consistently decent, even as a rookie for the Nets or last year. aka, better than Dmo.
