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.
Speights makes a ton of sense Speights and Core Brewer along with Robinson make us a tough out in the playoffs IMO
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.
The Withey (who projects as a solid backup) pick might pave the way for Leonard being included in an Asik deal.
uh Speights and TRob are nearly identical. I'm hoping we make better use of our remaining 9mil than on freakin Brewer and Speights.
Au contraire. This trade guarantees they KEEP Asik, or at least demand an awful lot for him. This is the trade that cleared enough cap space to sign Howard, so they're not forced to move Asik. Reason #3 I don't like it.
I'm really happy we got Robinson, I think he'll be a stud. At the same time I think we gave up a lot. It's a good trade for Houston.
