I have to admit Dragic with the Heat would make that team fun to watch again.

there is no reason for the rockets to trade for dragic now. i doubt he would re-sign with us anyway, so why give up a valuable 1st rd pick and key player? dragic wants control of running the offense from what it sounds like. he won't be able to do it in houston with harden. that is why he didnt list houston as one of the teams on his list

If the Celtics are in the mix then there is no way that Houston will outbid them.

I can't believe how many draft picks Ainge has picked up the past few years!

I still think the Rockets should target Brandon Knight if Dragic isn't going to work.

the only way i wouldn't a rental of dragic is if rockets give up two 2nd round picks and expirings in terry and shved...no more than that, but that is also questionable. it is just time to move on with lawson or a backup center like henson.

Brandon Knight and John Henson would be a dream trade for me.

Knight/Beverley
Harden/Terry
Ariza/Brewer
Jones/Smith
Howard/Henson



Note: Giannis and Papa are very close as are Motie and Papa. Moving Motie and Papa to Milwaukee might make it work.

there was a report that dragic didn't want to sign with rox due to fear about being traded again during his contract duration. i guess all players never unpack their suitcases as long as morey is still the GM...LOL

God no! Motie is one of the very few low post threats we have. Correction the only one. Brandon does not have that much value and is a Average player feasting on the weak east. Much rather trade T-Jones over Motie.

To each their own, but I think once Jones gets back up to speed he'll take back the starting spot. Motie is a nice player, but so is Knight and certainly Henson. You have to give up some value to get value.

Yes you do but neither of those players have that much value.

I guess that's your POV. Both Knight and Henson are quite talented and would boost Houston.

if Howard is 100% healthy i don't mind the rental
but Howard may not play again this season
so with additional of Dragic minus Howard is not enough to get us pass the first round
i rather have a longer term PG to play alongside Harden

Its quiet, anybody see any rumors? But its always kinda quiet with Morey until something happens.

Only thing I see on hoopshype was a tweet from Marc Stein saying Rockets are still going after Dragic even though he doesn't want to be here.

Dragic/Lawson idc even though it might piss Bev off.
