Watch the Rockets get more value out of T-Rob than what the Kings got for 3 players

enticing
im not sure they will pay both Parsons and Josh Smith big contracts though... but then again Houston would be all-in at that point so why not?

NBA source tells me #Rockets trade for #Kings Thomas Robinson is to facilitate another Hou deal
Maybe they're going to parlay him to Atlanta for Smith? Not sure why Atlanta would have much interest in TRob though. Getting him means they can't finally move Horford to PF.
I think it's more likely Houston is looking to get Milsap. In looking at the salaries of all players involved, it looks like they now have enough cap space to deal Robinson for Milsap straight up. I'm guessing that's the kind of deal the Jazz would be interested in.
Alternatively, the Rockets could include Garcia in the deal who could help them on the perimeter, and whose contract includes a team option for next season.
Would probably be a disappointing series of events for Robinson though: tonight he thinks he's probable starter for the Rockets at PF. If he goes to the Jazz he'll go back to being an afterthought in the rotation behind Jefferson, Favors, and Kanter.

If the Rockets get Milsap for T-Rob, I'm going to be sick. He would have been perfect for the Kings, even if they didn't re-sign him.

why? Kings wouldn't have been able to keep Millsap anyway, they can at least keep Patterson for a number of years and build around him and Cousins. now all they need to do is get Bledsoe

We'll get him and Wall and move the team to Kentucky instead!

If i'm the GM of the Kings i would be too embarassed to make this trade. Either way he loses.
If Robinson turns out to be a bust, he made a terrible pick.
If Robinson turns out well, he made a terribad trade.

Longest tenured GM in the NBA...

And my question is still legit.
Anyway looks the Maloofs wanted to save a little money.
Sucks for Kings fans though. I thought they may have had a good chance at a trade for an injured Rondo with a Reke, T-Rob (with his recent top 5 pick value, although look what it got them now lol) & fillers trade.

Re: Official: Rockets trade for Thomas Robinson
Obviously great trade for the Rockets.
Sure it's short-sighted for the Kings, however, 1st rounders generally go for the $3 or so million the Kings/Maloofs save here. Are you telling me Thomas Robinson is worth that much more than Patterson and the value of a mid 20's 1st?
There aren't that many teams desperate to have Robinson as a long-term starter.
I'm not defending the trade, it was purely a business decision. I wouldn't be so quick to judge Petrie though, I think he manages the position he is put in extremely well. He has always drafted the most talented player or biggish name, why do you think that is?
The Kings have been in cost-cutting mode a long time now.
If Patterson is actually good friends with Cousins this could turn a business/money decision into a good move. We've all seen stranger things happen - the Grizz dumping Pau, Marc Gasol turning into a stud and picking up Z-Bo with the money saved. Obviously completely different deals/scenarios, but you get the drift, you can't judge a trade's impact immediately.

I don't think the Rockets gave $3 million. I think they gave $1 million. That's more in the late 2nd rounder range.

Maybe Portland can steal Evans from Sacto next.
