Rockets - Celtics Trade Rumor (weak source)

[manl_lui]

Does Danny consider if this offer is in play?

No.

He counterbids for Asik, offering less than what he offered 6 weeks ago.

Danny would try to rob them of another 1st rounder if possible. If not, no

If there is uncertainty that rondo will resign and we are still out of playoff contention next year, can we get back a package any better than either sac or hous has offered (rumor) so far?

As Rondo gets healthier, his game on the court will improve. 


So yes, he can definitely gain value.

No one.... give me a second... who in their ri... wait...


Soooo, you think Danny would take Lin and Asik for RR?? HAHAHA
Don't even mention picks because where Hous will be picking for years to come, will be pretty much 2nd round picks!! I don't care if they give us their next 4 first rounders! What is 4 28th+ picks going to do when we can get 4 31st picks for little money and pick the same calibre of talent and then pay said talent LESS money? They are already one of tge top teams W/O Asik and Lin pfft. So what you are really saying is Hous gets RR for Lin, while we pay more money,next season??? Wouldn't it be paying both Asik and Lin about 25-30m next season together? How many teams will be able to afford taking ONE of them off our hands or would want to at that price??? oh so when their contracts are up we let them walk b/c they will want more money than we will be offering for a TERRIBLE team??? Not one superstar is going to say, "Boston is the place for me, they already have Asik and Lin, maybe I'm the missing piece!" Until you remember that Asik, Lin, Howard, Parsons, Harden on one team is not even a team that anyone realistically thinks is even coming out of the west! I don't care who we draft, that player will take years before he can become the player that people will come to Boston to play with and years to become good enough to be best player on a championship team. So in conclusion, what we got for RR would be 4 2nd round equivalents???

Has to be a joke, right?

tp, completely agree

[j804]

Am I the only one tha thinks Houston is kind of dumb for not getting Rondo and offering up Parsons?

[Moranis]

Asik, Lin, Jones, Smith or Beverly, 2014 1st

for

Rondo, Bass, Pressey (since he would likely be waived anyway)


I think this is a reasonable trade.  Not a homerun, but certainly solid value even without Parsons.

Rockets need this trade to happen more than the celts do

Rockets can get rid of two massive contracts next year (they didn't plan to get howard), plus get a point guard that has experience winning the ring.

But i can see they will be reluctant to give up Parsons.

They want to get rid of Lin/Asik contracts so they can resign him (guessing 5-7 million a year).

On the flipside the celtics need more back in return

I wonder if Jeff Green has been mentioned in any of this, bc in theory it could make this work. Unless the Rockets don't care for Green

[SHAQATTACK]

How credible is Amico? Can people see Danny asking for Parsons to make this deal possibly work?  What a mistake he made by drafting JJJ in the first place

When asked how Doc Rivers, the coach of the Boston Celtics, knows him so well and long, Rockets forward Chandler Parsons responded with a question of his own.
“How does the coach of the Boston Celtics not draft me?” Parsons said.

The Rockets picked up Parsons in the second round of the 2011 draft after the Celtics took forward JaJuan Johnson with the 25th pick that season. The Rockets acquired Johnson in the sign-and-trade deal that sent Courtney Lee to Boston, but cut him before the season.

“I thought I was going to go to the Celtics, 100 percent,” Parsons said of the draft that season. “That was probably my best workout. I killed it.”

This was just awful ....who ever was responsible ......Doc and /or Danny ........I have not yet got over this mistake .......we may have won a title with Parsons instead of JJJ .......holy cow ..this was a huge screwup ........makes me sick

It works in the trademachine putting Green in the deal. I don't blame them not wanting to give up CP. They'd loose a starting SF and Parsons was one of the guys that help convince Howard to come to Huston. At least thats what was said when the Howard signed. I would hate it if Parsons game went to crap because he didn't want to leave Huston. Might need a third team to come in on this.
