Thomas Robinson

AND you're helping a division team get one of the best bigs in the game to take on a guy that has shown nothing.

That is a silly argument that I have seen before. Do you think Houston doesn't do a deal if we are not involved? They are going to do it regardless of whether the Pelicans "help" them. It is just a matter of whether the Pelicans feel they value Robinson or not. I do not think we would get involved.

As for the trade possibilities, I could see Oklahoma City offering their 29th pick and the Eric Maynor Trade Exception for Robinson, and Houston jumping on it.

The Rockets aren't looking for anything in this deal more than cap room. OKC could certainly use a big man with upside to spell Serge Ibaka and maybe develop at center enough to replace Kendrick Perkins sooner rather than later.

Perfect scenario for the Rockets. They could draft a guy at 29 that they can stash overseas for a while. I am not sure if OKC has the cap room to do it though.

I wouldn't help Houston get Dwight Howard just to get Thomas Robinson. All he has is athleticism and motor right now. He doesn't bring anything else. Pass on him, especially if it allows the Rockets to get Howard.

they will find someone to take robinson regardless, if they get howard, wouldnt u like to be the one who atleast got something like tRob instead of nothing??
