I guess one of the brothers was not enough.

I wonder what this means re: moving Gortat.

Also from Houston:

"The Rockets will send Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas to the Kings for Thomas Robinson, sources tell Y!"

This one is way weird.

Fab,  injured guy, useless pick.

Why do they want this for a blossoming player? Suns want picks not junk, imo. Why else would they give him up.?...?

You're thinking of Markieff.

But anyway, maybe we give up a real 2nd then. I think Fab has a little bit of value, and Houston needs to unload those PFs at some point.

8.6/4.1 isn't THAT bad

No, it's not, but he's also a PF who's shooting 43% from the field. He's a decent 3 point shooter, but not a great FT shooter.

By PER he's the 47th best PF in the league - just ahead of Markieff, haha.

(On the other hand he is only two slots behind the 45rd-ranked Jeff Green....but I won't get you started.)

That would be dandy if they played the same position. But they don't.

Kings trying to appease Cousins?

Patterson and Cousins played together at UK.  Plus, Robinson has been a pretty big letdown for Sacramento.

Edit: I agree, though, bizarre trade.

I wonder for who? Morris would seem like a low return.

Kings send T. Robinson, F. Garcia, T. Honeycutt to Houston for Toney Douglas, Cole Aldrich, Patrick Patterson & cash, USAT has learned.

Edit: WOW. What in the world is Sac doing. I guess Maloofs just want to save some cash. Robinson is the only player i really liked on that team. Great trade for HOU.

[frosty33]

is it just me or did both marcus morris and thomas robinson get traded for peanuts?

[WeMadeIt17]

Interesting kings have a lot of bigs now..Maybe looking to make another move?

Holy cow. I just went to TRob's wikipedia page to see when he was drafted:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Robinson_(basketball)

The freaking trade is already on there!!

"On February 20, 2013, Robinson was traded to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas."

Edit: I agree, though, bizarre trade.

He's the fifth pick in the draft, halfway through his first season. I understand he may have been underwhelming, but some patience, maybe?
