Trade Deadline 2013 Edition

[000001]

Wojnarowski is reporting that the Hawks opening request for Smith from the Rockets is Asik & Parsons.

Houston is laughing.

I don't think that Houston will end up making a trade for Smith, but I do think that some other team will overpay for him by 2 PM today.

asik and parsons is alot . i dont like the idea .is good they are trying to get smith but no for that price.they can have dmo and t jones . if they give asik and parson we need to get smith and horford in return .


i think the rockets will make another trade before 2 pm

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Houston's showing a willingness to move rookie Terrence Jones for a 1st-round pick, sources tell Y! Rockets are deep at forward spot.

To me, that would indicate that Jones is known to be better than Morris, and that Morris was strictly being showcased this year for trade purposes.

[zapatasblood]

No more fear of Josh Smith coming to Houston!

[Mr. E]

Finally blocked Atlanta's number after the latest Asik/Parsons request, eh?

[madbucky]

I just want to move Morris and/or Patterson. If someone makes a great offer for Delfino and Toney then take it as long as its assets that can be used in the offseason.

you got it

[rocketsballin]

asik and parsons for smith? that sounds like it came from a misguided poster on realgm

[Guy986]

In terms of value we came out ahead but I think short term this team just got worse.

Patterson is more important than people think imo. Cant expect to see Parsons/Delfino continue to play 4 because they'll get worn down.

I agree. We're also screwed if Lin or Beverley go down.

[rocketsballin]

there should be a trade ir signing to get another pg. morey know's two is risky when its lin throwing his body around and unproven beverely.

im not worried about the pf rotation. we got 4 first round rookie pfs gonna fight for minutes.

We have everybody's favorite preseason PG Machado waiting down in the dleague.

Thats concerning to me.

One of Dmo, Trob, and Jones will hopefully step up.
White will never EVER EVER crack the rotation this season. You can quote me on that.

[rocketsballin]

its a stretch but im not counting royce out
delfino and parsons make it 5 rotational pfs
not perfect at the 4 but its good enough for this season

[inquisitive]

im concerned with the next 26 games since we have new guys on our team and we will definitely not be that threat 3pt shooting since pat , morris, and TD are gone...the good thing is that motie is likely to start tomorrow and tjones coming off the bench...i think we will lose tomorrow to the nets...hoping to pull it out though.

[rocketsballin]

yeah im a bit concerned the shooting going through a rough patch. probably will be some growing pains the next two weeks with the new roster

WELCOME TO THE ROCKETS JOSH SMITH!

WELCOME TO THE ROCKETS JOSH SMITH!

"But it's past the trade deadline... what?"
*double check*
"Yep, binary guy is pulling a prank."

Dwight Howard would be an idiot to choose Dallas over Houston if he does decide to walk away from LA. You guys have done a admirable job of infusing young talented players within a sound salary structure under this new CBA. I can see the Rockets potentially becoming a Finals contender in one or two years.
