Sacramento has traded forward Thomas Robinson to the Houston Rockets, league source tells Y Sports.

This is from WOJ

WHAT??

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

I think its good value. But i will miss Patterson.

Robinson is a top 5 pick this year.
But i dont understand his allure. He's 6'9 with short wingspan and not particularly jump out of the gym athletic. Whats the appeal?

The Houston Rockets have traded Marcus Morris to the Phoenix Suns for a future second-round draft pick, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Morris is gone too.

Robinson had a good stretch when he got some minutes. I wonder how many minutes he will get with this team. We have all rookie PF's, now...

Nice.. I welcome Robinson, but will miss Morris.

Along with a second-round pick, the Kings will send Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt to the Rockets, sources tell Y!

Our three point shooting will be missed with Morris and Douglas gone. T-Rob/Dmo better have a decent post up game, it'll be interesting to see how they fit into the offense.

I wanted LVP Austin Rivers and we got Thomas Robinson? WTF?

Honestly, this is a good gamble here. We basically got a long-term project with high upside. Meanwhile this allows the more NBA ready guys like D-Mo and hopefully Terrence Jones to grab more minutes.

Now watch Pat Pat average 10 rpg.

Good get for Rockets IMO.

Asik, Robinson, Parsons, Harden, Lin is a very good team

hmm, seems like a good deal for the Rockets. Got a good rebounder.

Thomas Robinson has a very high upside, great kid, from an awful situation.

This opens up minutes for Motiejunas as the floor spacing 4, with Robinson as a high energy reserve. The other option is to start Parsons at the 4, with Delfino at the 3.

CT: Asik/ Smith
PF: Motiejunas/ Robinson/ Jones/ White
SF: Parsons/ Delfino
SG: Harden/ Anderson
PG: Lin/ Beverly

There must be something else to come, the roster is a little lop-sided. Is Motiejunas going to play time at the 5?

robinson was the 5th pick in a stacked draft. i wouldnt consider 6'9 240 undersized, thats good enough. 6'8 is short for pf.

he also has an attitude so we got ourselves a bull dog, dont take **** from nobody, not even ya own mama :angry:

he's got great potential

rocketsballin · Post #20 » by **rocketsballin** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 1:34 am

he gets the same total rebounds in 15min as patterson gets in his 30

also obligated to post this one last time

we'll miss you 2pat. tucking in your jersey at your shoulders. your new 3pt shot. keep doing your thing
