You don't make that trade unless you're sure the Rockets want Paolo (or we want Paolo secretly). You make the trade if you're the Rockets because you're afraid OKC doesn't actually love the risk of Chet and will take Paolo with the #2 pick. No one REALLY knows who we want. The Chris Webber / Penny Hardaway draft trade came out of left field. We could see something similar tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what it’d take but I’d trade Suggs/Anthony and multiple first round picks. Teaming that guy with Franz, Jabari and Carter would be nasty. DEJOUNTE MURRAY!!!!!!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve always wondered how trading cash works. Does it give a team that much more cap room? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah it's literally just cash money. I remember hearing a story about a team traded a pick that I think became Kyle Korver and used the money to fund their Summer League team and buy a new photocopier or something like that. I'm hoping that this is just Weltman building good will in the organisation so that when we're good they'll be more inclined to spend into the tax etc but that's just blind hope and the truth is probably a lot less basketball related.
