What do you guys think of this trade? Lowry and the 16 pick for DeRozan and the 8th pick. We could also toss in scola for bargani or ed davis (which could be a star with more PT)? Any thoughts? I figure Lowry to be out of Houston after his comments.

I would like to see this:

Dragic/Lloul
Lee/Derozan/terrance ross
Parson/Bud/Morris
Patterson/Sullinger (draft I see him as the second coming of Kevin Love with his ability to shoot)/Monte
Hibbert/Dalembert

I think Moving Lowry to TOR is the most exciting thing about this, I'd be all for moving up in the draft and If we're to get a nice young prospect along with it, I think it's a no-brainer. I'm excited about the draft, some nice big prospects there for the Rockets' taking: Henson, Zeller, Leonard, Moultrie, and Sullinger, Morey's experts know which one to take and I'll trust their pick on that one, almost sure we'll end up with one of them.

this is what i honestly hope for :

Kyle Lowry and Luis Scola for Andrea Bargnani . This trade would certainly boost up our power foward postion since bargnani is younger and can get his own shot better than Luis can . Then i think we should resign dragic of course but let Courtney Lee walk so we could hopefully sign Eric Gordon ( who says he still wants to test the FA market even though NO got the #1 pick ) . Now, that leaves us with the Center position . I think we should resign Marcus Camby as a backup while we try to pursue Chris Kaman . This would leave us with this roster --->

PG - Goran Dragic / Rookie PG
SG - Eric Gordon / Chase Budinger
SF - Chandler Parsons / Marcus Morris
PF - Andrea Bargnani / Pattrick Patterson / Mottie
C - Chris Kaman / Marcus Camby

This roster is certainly much better than the team we have now . what do you guys think ?

Bargnani to be our big trade piece would aggravate me to no end, there are much better Pf/C players attainable. If you read this forum you will see people here don't care for Pau Gasol because he plays somewhat soft, and he is a monster compared to Bargnani, the guy is 7ft tall and averages less than 7 Reb/40mins. Not only that but why are you wanting to chase after injury prone players? Gordon and Kaman both have durability issues, and whats the point in getting players that will miss half a season. Next, aside from Lillard I don't see any PG's Id be wanting to draft, I'd rather grab a cheap veteran in FA and spend our picks on big men or trade assets. Our team is better as it is right now than as listed in the above post, not to mention as soon as Gordon gets a big contract and sustains another injury his value will be ruined and that's far too much risk for the Rockets to take in my opinion.

In addition we could get more for those two players. Lowry is a better player than Bargnani. Also, Gordon is restricted so as much as we might want him it is unlikely that NO won't match any offer no matter how much he wants to test FA.

I don't know if I could survive a season of watching DeRozan. I don't know if he is aware that passing to your teammates is allowed in basketball. So much talent. So little understanding of the game.
Put another way he makes Russell Westbrook look like an accomplished passer.
