Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

Huh? Andy is a 31 oft injured player who is mostly a center these days anyways.

Tristan is the starter.

Beyond that, you're telling me you wouldn't give some minutes to Thomas Robinson over Kevin Jones?

Forget we have Zeller too?

No, you said logjam at PF. So I listed the guys on the team that should play PF minutes next year. Zeller is a Center. Zeller is also not a guy you just give 28 mpg to. he has to really earn those minutes this coming year by playing right and improving.

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

I dont see a logjam at all, personally.

AV can get hurt and if he doesnt, Brown likes him off the bench. TT and Zeller could start at PF/C with AV and Noel able to play both PF and C
PF: TT/AV/Noel/TRob
C: Zeller/AV/Noel

Theres plenty of minutes since most of those guys plays both positions

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

Mo speights if he doesnt exercise his option would get alot of minutes at power forward. his natural position.

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

Forgot about the Big Ugly. Add in the fact that TRob might just suck and Noel wont play till Dec, i'll take every big i can get

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

If we draft Noel...he better play nothing but Center, period.

It would benefit both Noel and the team if we played him at PF when we play the big centers that he cannot handle until he bulks up a little more. New Orleans did this for Anthony Davis last season to help ease him into the physicality of the NBA, and the Cavs would be smart to do so as well.

We also have Speights under contract. Having Robinson would allow us to move him though.

Did Speights already come out and say he was going to pick up his player option ?

Davis also has the jump shot of a SF. His best position is PF, Calipari said he's a PF who could play some SF. Noel is a center who could play some PF in certain lineups. So, New Orleans didn't put Davis at PF because he couldn't handle it, it's because PF is his position.

Pass on T-Rob. I just don't know what he brings and how it fits coming off the bench.....

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

Is it me but does the NBA seem like there's a Thomas Robinson on every other team? A guy who's to small to be a legit big man but he's athletic enough to be a SF but doesn't posses any SF skills

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

What exactly is stopping Robinson from being a successful NBA player? I don't get it.

Time to develop.

This one is a no brainer. Just go out and get the guy. It's great value.

This is the kind of deal that will go down with another team, and we'll sit here posting, "Why wouldn't we give up the same amount? They got him for next to nothing."

Re: Woj: Rockets trying to move Thomas Robinson

Pretty big red flag when every team you are on wants to jettison you. I think Thompson and Noel are enough at power forward. Cavs just don't need him. I mean Thompson, noel, varejao, zeller, speights, and we might possibly draft a center at 19. Just no room for another big man.
