Woj: Thomas Robinson to be traded to Blazers

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

I think I saw Robinson looking at houses in Strongsville.

Cowher said he'd cut him a good deal. He's been trying to sell that place since 2008.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet. And, you might want to take this with a grain of salt, as it's from Sam The Bullshit Whisperer:

• According to several FOX Sports Ohio sources, Robinson was in Cleveland on Tuesday night for a concert. Some sources said the Cavs also gave him a physical, but that has not been confirmed.

Wow.. if true, that'd be very good news indeed.

Thats the plus side of being a big market team like Cleveland, free agents of interest come to town for concerts nobody has heard of and just so happen to get their balls grabbed by the Cavs medical staff. Seems legit

Good old Spam The Bullshit Whisperer... Just throw out every possible scenario and you can never be accused of missing the big deals.

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

If the Bulls have upped the offer, one wonders where they were earlier in the season when the Rockets got him for a back-up big man and a bunch of fillers.

Should be a good fit in Portland.

No more Brooks, Delfino, or Robinson in Houston - clearing the cap for Dwight. Please get it done and make Asik available. Either way, Asik or Pau will probably be available via trade.

If Howard goes to Houston, there's a good chance Josh Smith could follow. Which could make Atlanta the front runner for Asik in a sign and trade.

How the hell did Robinson's stock fall this far in one year?

The Sacramento stink follows you everywhere.

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

This deal further takes Portland out of the running for Pekovic, as they were viewed as a chief suitor for him. Partly because they like him and need a center, partly because of the animosity between the two franchises from the Batum offer sheet and Brandon Roy situation.

Even if the Wolves will match a full offer for Pekovic, it is beneficial for them to have to tie up as much money as possible in him, as it could create a lingering dynamic with Love

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

Interesting that Robinson went to Portland who already has a PF in Aldridge... What's that all about?

I am guessing they will use him as a backup until he grows as a player and proves himself. Are they going re-sign JJ Hickson?

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

So according to Wojnarowski, foreign players are the NBA versions of "future considerations."

Aldridge is as good as gone.
