Thomas Robinson traded to the Rockets

[bagelred]

Wait...Morey raped the Kings AGAIN?

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Kings clearly the losers in this deal. On so many levels. ...ok, like 2 or 3 levels...but still!

Trade can't happen without the approval of the soon to be new owners group from Seattle. Here you go Seattle your new owners at work, pulling out all the stops to save a few million dollars

[bagelred]

It's as if Kings think the Rockets are the only team to trade with. They just gave away the #5 pick in the draft for table scraps. Can anyone explain this?

inb4 Thomas Robinson becomes GOAT.

Robinson is the biggest winner in the trade. He's going to a team where he doesn't have to be a focal point of their offense and defense. He'll actually have a defined role in Houston. I can see him thriving in Houston's fast pace offense.

Not yet official but whatever..here's a quick one

Houston just found that missing piece to make the playoffs.

Basically got him for free too.

Agreed.
Houston just got better for nothing.
Rockets potentially got their power forward for the next 10 years.
It looks like this takes the Rockets out of the running for Josh Smith, while they should have cap space this summer to add another shooting wing.

I'm sure it will turn out to be some kind of salary dump for the Kings. They gave up on the wrong guy (T-Rob). I was hoping to get rid of DMC. I don't know the new guys but hopefully one of them has some type of decent BB IQ because no one on the Kings does with exception to IT.

Awful trade for Houston. Awful.


Horrendous.


If you have too many PF's...guys with talent, like Montiejunas and now Royce White...when you have Terrence Jones...you trade for Thomas Robinson.


Robinson could be great for them, but what do you do with all the other stuff? You're trading it for a different PG? Getting rid of Lin? What are you doing?


But I knew those Twins would end up together lol.

They can swap some of those younger players for JJ Redick.

Lin, Harden, Redick, Robinson, Asik - a very nice team going forward.

Why would they trade young pieces for Reddick when they can just sign him as a FA in the summer?

If they want to make a push now in the playoffs.
But yea, they can wait until the summer.
Also if they think some of these guys aren't any good, get rid of them now while they have some trade value.

Morey would be willing to give him $40 million in 4 years

Nah they don't need him. They have Delfino who's a very good defender and rebounder, as well as a shooter, with some balls too. No need for Redick.
