Thomas Robinson traded to the Rockets

wait, was the edit a joke? cause if it wasnt, allow me to capitalize my initial WOW.

Nope, I assumed Marcus was part of the deal but minutes later Woj tweeted he was heading to PHX

The Rockets will send Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas to the Kings for Thomas Robinson, sources tell Y!

wow Pat Patterson going to the Kings

[Qwyjibo]

Gave up on Robinson way too soon, what the hell?

No kidding. Robinson may never turn into anything great but this is a prime example of "selling low". Draft player 5th overall, sink his value immediately and then trade him halfway through his 1st season. Genius.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Goddamn Kings organization is run by lunatics. Not only did they draft Jimmer in the top 10 they draft T-Rob and give up on him. Then when they hit an absolute goldmine in I.T they sign Aaron Brooks to take up his minutes.

Wasn't for Morris as he was just traded to Phoenix for a 2nd round pick

pat is going to go ham in the kings

Garcia and Honeycutt going to Houston with Robinson

pat is going to go ham in the kings

i hope by going to the kings, this makes DMC play closer to the basket, considering Pat Pat likes to take his twenty footers. Could be a pretty legit front court. Time to move JT in my opinion for a better wing or 2 guard.

Rockets overvalued T-Rob big time in this trade.

& they traded Marcus Morris? Are they trying to give the 8th seed to LA?

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

T-Rob and Marcus Morris are actually really close friends. I bet for a second they thought they were playing with each other but hey atleast Marcus gets to play with his twin.

[Is He Ill]

The Rockets seem to have an obsession with young power forwards.

[Zodiac]

Either way it looks like Greg Smith and Moltiejunas are about to get more minutes

[Skywalker]

plain pat whatup


what a dumb trade by the Kings, Patterson is a very solid player don't get me wrong but a top 5 pick? LOL

Garcia is an expirer as well I think

[Grinder]

Kings didn't make a bad deal. They parlayed the 5th pick in an average draft into two productive role players who also happen to be young.. Robinson was pretty much a consensus top 5 pick, you could argue they should have gone with Drummond, but it's not all their fault that he hasn't produced and lived up to expectations. Patterson and Cousins played together in college and should fit well together again in the NBA. Douglas was having a solid season.
