Thread: Thomas Robinson

  1. #1

    Thomas Robinson

    According to Adrian Wojnarowski's Twitter account, the Rockets are looking to trade him for cap space for Dwight. Would you want him; if so, what would you give up?

    I imagine it wouldn't take much.

    I bet It will take more than you think. I bet they will try to package White into the deal or even ask for a pick.

    They are just trying to free up space. Remember when Miami traded Beasley for a 2nd round pick in his 2nd season? Because they could get a superstar. Same thing with Houston.

    They aren't looking to add salary.

    He has more value than Beasley. Robinson doesn't have character issues.

    True. I think they'd take a Brian Roberts/Lou Amundson (both on extremely cheap deals) deal.

    Amundson is a free agent and salaries doesn't match up. draft picks will have to be involved.

    Salaries don't need to because we can take back more than we send due to our huge cap space.

    We would give up very minor assets. The Rockets merely want cap space. I think we could use a low-post presence with toughness.

    thomas robinson for brian roberts? he's the cheapest player we got i think, robinson's upside is big plus per 36 he averaged 12.5 points and 12.5 rebounds

    A team with a late first round picks form the likes of Atlanta and Utah can make a much more attractive offer. Houston likes to stock up on picks and use them as assets. I still don't see them giving Robinson away for nothing especially on a divisional rival.

    I think it's realistic. They want to go all in for Dwight, and Woj reported that they're looking to move him to get cap space. B-Rob is cheap and could give better compensation than a 2nd-rounder or something else.

    ya if they wanna compete now i dont see roberts and being a terrible backup guard

    They have Beverley, they don't want anyone in return. They want non guaranteed contracts or picks in return.

    Completely unrelated to Robinson but what's the rule with sign and trades in the new CBA? Can the Rockets and Lakers work one out? If so it would make even more sense for the Rockets to stockpile liquidable assets.

    Only 150% back.

    Roberts isn't guaranteed. I thought Amundson was in the same situation, but I guess not.

    Hard to say but I am definitely confident Houston will pile up on asset in case the situation arises.

    Which makes your proposal unattractive. A last resort. Houston will at least want some assets in the deal.

    Kind of weird two teams would give up on you in less than 12 months. Seems like it would make more sense to try send him to LA on a sign and trade for Dwight. But if they giving him away he definitely worth a look.
    We want more! We want more!

    Utah is letting go of Jefferson and Milsap to give Kanter and Favors time. They wouldn't want him. Atlatna probably wouldn't give that up (17/18).
