Morey won. Rockets save 1.5m in this deal after they don't pick up the team options on Garcia and Honeycutt after the season. Throw the max at Dwight. Dwight 99 percent chance he's a Laker for life, but at the end of the day, Robinson's upside is higher than Patterson or Morris. Will he pan out, who knows, but dude is halfway into his rookie year. Low risk, high reward. He'll start at PF, and this clears more playing time for DMo. Gotta keep in mind the Rockets are the youngest team in the league. Only Delfino has more than 4 years NBA experience on the team, and that was with Patterson and Morris on the team. Asik has panned out, Lin is playing better, and this team will grow together. They're all like 23-24 years old. Going forward, they will have ample cap space, and tradable pieces down the line to maneuver. I just hope to God that they can hang onto a playoff spot

They might not want to risk him going anywhere else...

I think Morey is too smart to trade for him now when he can sign him in the summer, but I believe Robinson could be re-routed to the Hawks for Smith.
That's a pretty nice idea.
How would that effect Houston's attempt at D12 though?

The Maloofs are super grimey... trading away a rookie player just to save money

Which is ok. I can live with Asik Robinson Parsons Harden Lin running things. But as an organization, Morey has to try. He's done his part, getting an attractive player in Harden to appeal to Dwight, and got enough cap space to make a run at him. Could always carry over that cap space for 2014.

Dwight is bi-polar. We all saw what happened last season with the opt out opt in thing with Orlando. There's a chance . Either way, yes, Houston is gonna offer the max at Dwight, and yes, he will reject. But it's ok either way, as the Rockets have a solid nucleus to build around, with or without him.

I don't even know how I'll feel if the Rockets end up with Smoove. Millsap is cool, though. Asik can mask Millsap's defensive deficiencies.

If the Sixers were really approached by the Hawks about an Evan Turner and Hawes for Josh Smith trade and declined it they need to be folded as a franchise.

I've always had an issue with him for not rebounding but Asik covered him, he spaces the floor well tho..

Since his contract is expiring, you essentially run the same risk though.
he's a good 8-10 points and 5 rebounds off the bench type player

Good points, I think Josh wants to be the king of Atlanta. He doesn't wanna move, but maybe front office thinks his decision making is too much at times.
Milwaukee building around Brandon now? Ohhh..

Sports ain't your thing man. Stick to trolling in the music forum.
Josh Smith has been trying to get out of Atlanta all year...
Rotational 6-7th type guy. Kinda think he's there to help keep Cousins straight.

^Pretty much that. He can have some outstanding games, but on a normal day he's a solid role player. He picked up his intensity in the past couple of games, but I've been waiting on him to consistently be dominant since his 2nd season.

There's no way anyone on the Celtics are going anywhere. Paul Pierce has been in green since day 1 so it would be silly to trade him this close to retirement. Garnett is too committed to the team and Rondo is their star so both of them aren't leaving.
