THE "OFFICIAL" February 21, 2013 Trade Deadline Thread...

dang dizzle

 

[PapaG]

unbelievable.

I literally don't believe it at this point, because no one is reporting it.

 

[PapaG]

An article from before the draft last year detailing how Houston and Sacto were in trade talks for the #5 pick.

[Mediocre Man]

Rockets get Robinson

Suns get the other twin

Kings get Patterson, Aldrich, Douglas

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Robinson didn't translate at all!

Instead of doing the dirty work like he did at KU he tried to become a jumpshooter.

Lets see if he can develop under McHale.

 

[julius]

I wonder if this is the start of more trades, or the big trade at the deadline.

 

[Mediocre Man]

We need to pounce on something now.

 

[PapaG]

We need to pounce on something now.

SOMETHING!!

ANYTHING!!

:MARIS61:

The Robinson trade is a nothingburger.

 

[julius]

We need to pounce on something now.

I hope it makes it easier to make a GOOD trade.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Remember when Geoff Petrie used to know how to draft?

and they passed on Lillard - thank GOD!

DMC!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I think the big trade will turn out to have been the Rudy Gay trade.

 

[RR7]

Petrie should be fired. What a joke.
Also, the TRob trade, great for Houston, but you move Morris for a 2nd?

 

[Blazinaway]

Rockets get Robinson

Suns get the other twin

Kings get Patterson, Aldrich, Douglas

tell ya what, Morey is not shy and does not let any grass grow under his feet!

 

[PapaG]

Petrie should be fired. What a joke.

What do they do with Royce White? Pay him another year and then just choose not to exercise the 3rd-year option?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kings get Patrick Patterson.

I despite his game. He's a 6'8" version of Blatche.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Petrie should be fired. What a joke.

Maybe a luxury tax issue?

 

[magnifier661]

Maybe a luxury tax issue?

Yep. The maloofs are losing money. They need to stop the bleeding

 

[RR7]

Maybe a luxury tax issue?

nowhere near the tax.

 

[Blazinaway]

frankly with a sale likely imminent I am surprised they did anything

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

They waived Hickson and he's clearly a tier or two above Patterson.

Petrie is still their GM, right?

 

[Carlito]

Wow now we are way behind houston

 

[RR7]

Not that he's a need, but wouldhave liked to have cut someone like Williams, and dealt a 2nd round pick to Houston for Morris.

 

[julius]

Wow now we are way behind houston

wait, did the Kings trade some of their wins to Houston?

 

[magnifier661]

Not that he's a need, but wouldhave liked to have cut someone like Williams, and dealt a 2nd round pick to Houston for Morris.

I just don't see Houston accommodating any trades that could possibly make us better. I definitely could see the deal with Sacramento because they are so far behind.

 

[PapaG]

Yep. The maloofs are losing money. They need to stop the bleeding

They are selling the team, one way or another.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Yep. The maloofs are losing money. They need to stop the bleeding

The Maloofs are in the process of selling the team.

Here's a link to the two trades. One involving Rockets and Suns. The other involving Rockets and Kings.

[Hobbesarable]

nowhere near the tax.

The Rockets/Kings trade appears to be a salary dump for the Kings.

No, I don't.
