Go get it Phil!

Ken Berger: As the Rockets look to clear room for free-agent pursuit of LaMarcus Aldridge or Kevin Love, No. 18 pick is available, sources say.

Any use for our trade exceptions here?

TPercy @ 6/25/2015 4:49 PM

Yes !!! Take it so that we can get jerian grant or Cameron Payne! Give Houston melo

RonRon @ 6/25/2015 4:49 PM

Denver and Houston has raped us severely just within the past decade, it is time that we get SOMETHING back

CrushAlot @ 6/25/2015 4:51 PM

I wonder if one of their second rounders would do it. I would offer the right to the euro from last year, Thanasis, Rubio or Wear if their contracts are friendly enough for the Rockets.

Do It...

nixluva @ 6/25/2015 4:52 PM

That's a great 2nd pick I hope Phil can grab it.

Knicksfan @ 6/25/2015 5:01 PM

How do you do it, though? Wouldn't we have to take back salary as they want to shed it?

BRIGGS @ 6/25/2015 5:02 PM

How about a TPE for Corey Brewer a future 2 and 2m? Save a mm for the 2nd rd.

That wasn't because Brewer sucked it was because someone else did

all they want is cash?

I don't know. They are also rumored to be trying to trade Terrence Jones. I think they will want something for Jones but he makes around 4 mil next year.

BigRedDog @ 6/25/2015 5:18 PM

Definitely worth taking back some salary to get this pick. Can get a really good player with this pick

CrushAlot @ 6/25/2015 5:21 PM

both draft express and draftnet have tyus jones going at 18. Some really good player will still be on the board then.

We have a trade exception to cover that amount if they are just trying to dump salary.

18 is a nice slot in this draft.

And Jones is a good player. They would be giving up a lot to get that cap space.

I hope we can get it. If we can grab it without using an asset, that would be amazing.

BigRedDog @ 6/25/2015 5:29 PM

No reason to trade down if we can get this pick

Now just dream for a second...

Imagine we get this pick for $3 million. Then, imagine Kaminsky or Willie Caulie-Stein fall to #18. Unlikely, but not impossible. That would be interesting.
