1st round pick for Thomas Robinson?

Some draft scuttle: Rockets have been offered chance to shed contract of PF Thomas Robinson for first-round pick in next Thursday's draft

If true, I bet they take that deal.

Also, I would bet its the Cavs.  They have the cap room to take on his contract, and don't seem to need the #19 pick.

I'd love for the Celtics to stop with all the LAC nonsense and make a move for TRob. Send Courtney Lee to Memphis for their trade exception (they're interested and could use him).

Send the trade exception, some or all of the China 3's non-guaranteed contracts plus a 2nd rounder to Houston for TRob.

He isn't the best fit with Sully, but you can't pass up the opportunity to get last year's 5th overall pick for pennies on the dollar when rebuilding.

2 teams quick to move t-rob within a year, what is wrong with this guy

I would do it.

I'd trade 16 for him.

do you mean by us? That would be a good deal for us.

The Cavs are reportedly interested in getting another pick.

My understanding is that they wanted a different pick, not another pick.  Two firsts, and #31 and #33 doesn't seem to make sense for "another" pick, but picking elsewhere, based on where they think the players they want should be drafted, does.

Almost like when we signed Shelden Williams.

i'd think about it hard. The thing is that he is an undersized interior player without much of a perimeter game.

In college he used to will his shots in utilizing his strength, speed and jumping abilities. But in the nba he is realizing its not as simple anymore.

He needs to develop a perimeter game, but its not something that will come out anytime soon. Maybe if he really strengthens up, he can go back to is old bully self.  If not at least he needs to develop a consistent jump shot.

When we played SAC, i was impressed at times no doubt. Again i'd think about it. Bc the risk is if his confidence is already shot

The Rockets are in "advanced talks" in a trade of Thomas Robinson, sources told the Houston Chronicle.

It makes sense. The team has been shopping him forever, and the Cavs and Spurs have each shown interest in Robinson prior. The Spurs would be an intriguing destination for the young man, who will likely be on his third team in less than two full years if and when he's dealt. The Bulls have been involved in talks as well, but it appears Chicago isn't really an option at this point.

Danny can draft a better player at 16 than T-Rob.

noOoooooooooooooooooooooo..

need a young center

[Evantime34]

He will be better than anyone available at 16, but he will also be more expensive.

You rang?  The future is...still a ways off, baby!
