THOMAS ROBINSON A BLAZER

[TowelBoy]

Olshey acquiring talent. Nice swing, imho.

Houston has traded Thomas Robinson to the Portland Trail Blazers, league source tells Y! Sports.

 

[TowelBoy]

Details to come, I'm sure...

 

[BBert]

Yes!!!

For the Greek?

Surely not for our cap space.

 

[TowelBoy]

I'm hoping this grows to Matthews/Freeland for Robinson/Asik somehow...

 

[TowelBoy]

Yes!!!

For the Greek?

Surely not for our cap space.

Can't wait to find out more. Hard to believe Olshey would cut out $3M of our $11.5M space right before FA starts.

Portland will send Houston two future second-round picks and the draft rights to two foreign players, league sources tells Y!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Mediocre Man]

Shocking. This came out of nowhere O

[TowelBoy]

Greek and the newest Euro?

 

[Boise Blazer]

Nice move. Even if he never becomes the stud some thought he will easily make our bench better and I'm guessing he came cheap. I hope this is a sign of things to come for Olshey

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Hell fuck yeah!!!!

 

[illmatic99]

Been calling for this move for weeks!

 

[TowelBoy]

So, we make this deal to help them get under the cap and lock up Dwight. Now, if they are successful, hopefully we revisit this relationship for an Asik deal.

 

[BBert]

How many future second round picks did we have? We already gave up two to get Crabbe?

I was thinking the same thing! The cupboard must be nearly bare by now.

 

[BBert]

I'm a bit surprised we had to give up both our foreign guys plus two picks. Great trade for both parties.

Wojo says we just traded for Thomas Robinson

Details coming....

 

[illmatic99]

This is fuckin highway t-robbery!

Re: Wojo says we just traded for Thomas Robinson

oops...late to the party. go ahead and delete thx

 

[BBert]

If Howard goes to Houston we surely get Asik. If so, good-bye 2014 tank.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kostas and Marko are in the deal.

Maybe it's second round picks we haven't acquired yet, LOL.

Huge win for us on talent/potential impact, but most interesting thing now is this:

Kevin Pelton ‏@kpelton 24s
Portland dealing for Thomas Robinson cuts cap space to ~$9 million. Probably indication they're not serious about Pekovic.

 

[Chuck Taylor]

Isn't this going to hurt our cap space?

Nope. Gonna trade for Asik.

Hard for anyone not to like this move

Speights makes a ton of sense Speights and Core Brewer along with Robinson make us a tough out in the playoffs IMO

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Kostas and Marko are in the deal.

Well shit. What reason will I have for trawling round on Eurobasket any more?

I wish I liked this trade, but I don't. I'll like it even less if KP comes to Houston and plays well, as I fully expect him to.
