Woj: Thomas Robinson to be traded to Blazers

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

This trade would not surprise me at all. Robinson graded well in last years draft based on the formula I think Chris Grant uses. I think they went against the formula and selected Waiters because they had Tristan Thompson already and using 2 #4 picks on the same position in back to back drafts is a bad idea. However; a year later if you can get T-Rob for the 19th pick in a weak draft, that's a great deal.

I would love to add Robinson. If the Cavs can find a way to add Robinson, 1, 13, and Marion, it will be an awesome night.

If the Rockets objective is to clear cap space; might not want a first in return?

Possible, but it is more likely they could just take a Euro and let him develop overseas.

I would think they would rather have the 2nd round picks and get players they can use now but who don't count against the cap until they are signed.

I like Robinson, IMO his game reminds me of David West... I don't think he will be as good as West, but that's just who his game reminds me of.

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

I'll take Robinson, backup to Thompson. Flexibility to move Varejao. Kid still has loads of potential

I would rather keep our 2nd round picks, if that is what we would have to trade, but I would be okay with trading for him.

If it comes down to offers from the Spurs and Cavs, you would think the Rockets would prefer the non-guaranteed money of pick 31 or 33 over the 3 years guaranteed money of pick 29 + the chance that Robinson flourishes in their own division with the Spurs.

Don't buy it. But I'd really really like it if true.

Hmm.. Robinson on his rookie deal or overpayed Speights... I like it.

Not to be a downer, we all like trades, but legionsports is a joke. The guy has pushed so many flase rumors before.

$3.5 million and a pick for a top 5 pick traded twice within a year? Where is the fit?

Would Robinson seal the fate on a guard being picked first?
