Report - Rockets offer Lowry+14+16 for Tyreke+5

[SacKingZZZ]

What makes you think Houston likes Henson?

I think he means HOU knows the Kings like Henson so HOU is trying to deliver Henson + Lowry

Bingo. Kings have told Houston what they need to do, but it has been thrown around here and there from sites I've read that Houston might like Henson.

Per @daldridgetnt Kings reject Houston's offer of Lowry/16th pick for No. 5 pick and Chuck Hayes.

Awful deal and I'm glad the Kings rejected it, but it's great to see Hayes' name in trade talks. Get him out of town.

Haha, don't start creaming yourself just yet, wonder who put that name in the trade?

IF Houston upgrade their offer to:

Lowry + 12 + 16 + Motiejunas for #5 + Hayes

Do we bite?

yes

[SacKingZZZ]

I think the only way the Kings bite is if the Rockets somehow turn that 12 into 8. I don't think Petrie will take the chance on 12 just yet.

KF10's deal is Lowry + Leaonard/Henson + Harkless, and Motiejunas.

Can't see us telling that no, that's fair value for 5th + Hayes.

[pillwenney]

Maybe we could do that and then trade up from 12, or something?

For Henson? can't see it happening. What can we offer Detroit to make it worth their while?

They need him(or his type of player) as much as we do.

[pillwenney]

We'd have to leap frog Detroit to Toronto. I wonder if they'd like Jimmer. Probably not.

But do the Kings want Leonard? Look at Kings.com, Henson is in play here because he's plastered all over hells half acre. I could read it in the Maloofs reaction to him after his workout, they're sold if he's the guy. Fair value is one thing, but when you are targeting a particular player, you want that particular player, that's in the end what makes the deal worth doing. I'd be shocked if they settled for something else.

Posted in the other thread, there was noise about the W's and Kings talking. The Kings might try and get the W's in on this so they can secure one of Henson or Lillard, although my personal belief is Lillard is a total smokescreen. 7 is too late for Drummond but not too late for Henson.

[sacking123]

Personally I think the #5 for #12/#16/#18 could work for me. Then flip #18/Garcia/Salmons for an expiring big.
Henson/Zeller/Leonard with #12 and hopefully Marshall with #16.

[Call Me Geoff]

I think the Kings have 3 or 4 players they really like. I don't think any of those players are of popular opinion (MKG,Barnes). My guess is they like Henson for obvious reasons, Lillard because he can flat out play a critical position and Terrence Ross. Ross is the one I think may be a surprise. He plays a position of need and if you look at his measurables and his game you could argue he's better than MKG. If Ross went to Kentucky he'd probably be a top 5 pick. Can't wait to see how all this shakes out. Gonna be crazy!

After the picks fall, can a trade still be made for Lowry without draft picks?

I'd guess we'd have to trade Tyreke, or something.

[SacKingZZZ]

If they want TRob, but I don't think the Kings a) want to move him because value wise you could be trading a poor mans Karl Malone level for Lowry, or b) I'm not even sure the Rockets want him. You can trade the draft rights to anyone if that's what your asking.

[pillwenney]

Lawl no way. The Rockets have picked 4 PFs in the first round in the last 3 years on top of Scola. Man, it would be hilarious if they traded Lowry for Robinson.

[H-town]

If Orlando Magic want TRob, but I don't think the Kings a) want to move him because value wise you could be trading a poor mans Karl Malone level for Lowry, or b) I'm not even sure the Rockets want him. You can trade the draft rights to anyone if that's what your asking.
