Since when is Green a throw in. What is wrong with you people? Dude is balling this year.
Since he may opt out this season.
That doesn't mean that he has no value. Some of these trades are put together like Green is a scrub.

And yet he's not part of the future. 1 year left on his deal.

Obviously we don't want to give him away, but if it's the difference between Rondo + Green for something valuable versus nothing good for either of them, you look at it.

He has value, but no-one will give you much for a 2/3-season rental of Jeff Green.

I think the Lakers actually are not allowed to offer two first-round picks in a deal.  They can certainly send out the Houston pick, but the seven-year rule means they can't send out a future pick later than 2020.  The protection on the picks they have already sent means that Orlando could get the Lakers' 2019 pick, so they can't trade their 2020 pick.

Any deal involving multiple picks is either going to be the Houston pick and at least one second or at least two seconds and no firsts.

The Houston deal is interesting because they have the Hornets' first rounder and a couple of interesting prospects. Harder to make the salaries match without taking on big contracts, though.

I still think NY makes the most sense even though they don't have a first rounder.

Rondo, Wallace, Bass, Pressey

for

Amare, Hardaway, Larkin, Early
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

Agreed, the possibility of having two lottery picks for the rebuild is appealing.

If the Lakers would take Wallace, I'm interested.

Rondo / Wallace / Favorani for Nash / Lin / Randle and the Rockets 2015 1st works, and is more than the Cs can hope for elsewhere. If they can't get the pick, do the deal without it.

Big question is whether Rondo would sign there considering what that team looks like these days...

That Houston pick is going to be useless. I'd rather not have it all or at least package it to bring in something from a third team. I'd like Randle, but that would mean Sully is on his way out - not sure how people would feel about that.

I think a lot of people would have taken Rondo straight up for the #7 pick before the draft.

Obviously Randle's value is much lower now due to the injury, but I think Randle + Rockets 1st is a reasonable if not spectacular offer.

I'd probably take it if we didn't already have a logjam at PF


Great words from a great man
