No horford for capella.
Hayward to detroit.
Reggie jackson, Jon leuer, robert williams and pick 51 to houston
Eric gordon and clint capela to boston.
Detroit gets shooting and playmaking from the wing(desparately needed)
Ish/fa
Galloway
Hayward
Blake
Drummond
Houston get more depth. (Desparately needed)
Paul(if not traded)
Harden
Pj
Leuer
Williams
Boston gets a young anchor and a sharpshooter. (Desparately needed)
Smart
Brown/gordon
Tatum
Horford
Capela
Why on earth do Houston do this?? They're trying to surround with more stars, not useless players for them like Leuer and Williams, or overpaid guys who can't shoot anything better than average like Jackson.
they wont get stars by trading players that are not stars.
And they do not need more shooters, but they need a guy who can change the pace off the bench as a sparkplug (jackson)
They need a floor spacing PF (Leuer)
Williams is cheap depth in the front court.
They still also have Paul to trade.
Capela will not get them Horford. That is not a fair trade for Boston as Capela is not on Horfords level.
Capela is a very good young center, but it remains to be seen how much value he has not playing beside harden. therefore that lowers his value, not increase it.
Yeah, but they will get better than the garbage return they're getting here.
Reggie Jackson has already forced his way off one team because he didn't like being a bench player and thought he was better than that - why do you think he's matured?
Jon Leuer has played 49 games in the last 2 seasons with averages of 4PPG and 2.6RPG. Not really the missing piece now is he?
The Paul contract is so bad they'd likely have to overpay to move him, so not sure what your point there is.
Capela is probably their most valuable trade chip, and this would be a fire-worthy return for Morey if he did this
It wad all just a hypthetical idea. You understamd that right.
Leuer when healthy is a good roleplayer. Jackson would most likely become the starter once paul is traded.
The whole premice is one of hayward being the centerpiece of a deal for capela. Not horford
We will not trade from a position of weakness to address the same position.
Not when we have too many wings.
Another idea is a deal with miami and houston.
Miami get hayward, paul, williams 3, pick 20 and 22, houston future first.
Houston gets whiteside, waiters, james johnson, mcgruder cash.
Boston gets capela and gordon and 13th
Look it’s a bad trade. If you’re the GM for the Rockets your goal in putting everyone on the block is to improve your team. If you are trading away STARTERS who don’t fit your team, then you are looking for STARTERS who do fit your team.
So what the Rockets know is that Chris Paul and Harden don’t work together. So now you choose which one do you think you believe gives you a high chance of winning a championship. You take the PnR boogeyman who can’t be stopped, or the floor general?
It’s easy you build around Harden, so what does Harden need? A center who can get boards, who can PnR and or PnP, Defenders (3 and D hopefully, some shooters, and some else who can get their own shot.
Great so now you know what you need, you’re capped out so can’t sign FA, so how can you improve your roster? Ok CP3 is no longer needed, but his value is very low because of his age and injury history so I may have to give him away for cap relief, but I still need to improve this roster.
Ok my biggest TRADE ASSETS are Capela, Gordon, and our draft picks. With knowing these are my biggest and only real draft assets that I have to help my team win NOW I have to make sure I completely fill needs.
This is referring to your trade with Detroit for the garage pieces you was giving Houston. They are looking for starter talent not bench players.
Now I can’t keep arguing on why Capela is a horrible fit for the Celtics, because you and many others just don’t listen not care how crazy it is.
