Houston Rockets Trade Block

[KW]

Kaiser Gates has received some interest. might move ahead of the deadline

[KW]

Gates + Knight likely gone.

Isaiah Jackson and rookie Tidjane Salaun are probably the only players left that I can trade at the deadline unless I get something really appealing for Lofton or Mane (which I doubt)

Gant, Musa, Juzang are almost definitely staying put.

[KW]

Karim Mane has been verbaled

Jackson and Salaun pretty much the only pieces left that I would consider moving right now. rebounding wouldn't hurt

[KW]

I currently have one offer out there for my own 1st round pick this year (currently tied for #9 or #10), and would strongly consider moving it for a very good young player that fits our team needs, because I really hate missing the playoffs lol

Unless it's someone good enough for me to attach Dzanan Musa or JaKeenan Gant, it pretty much has to be someone on a rookie contract, since my only trade-eligible salary matching piece is Isaiah Jackson ($4.6M)

[KW]

THERE ARE NO TANKS IN HOUSTON

my 1st has been traded

[KW]

Not interested in tanking, because I own none of my own picks, but I'm going to revamp this team in the offseason.

JaKeenan Gant - averaging 16/5/3, well over a block and a steal, and 44/41/73 splits
Dzanan Musa - either opts into 1yr deal or S&T - 6'9 pass first PG/point-forward who has had a down shooting year
Jordon Varnado - mid-range star, averaging 14/5 on 55 FG% and very consistent (might keep)
Johnny Juzang - 3-point flame thrower who shoots 39% from deep on a per-minute basis higher than anyone I've ever had
Tidjane Salaun - blank slate with potential everywhere
MEM 1st
HOU 2nd
Kobe Brown is the only other player under contract and will not likely be traded in the offseason.

--

Will also entertain S&Ts for Tyrese Maxey (RFA) and Kenny Lofton (RFA)

[KW]

in some talks regarding JaKeenan Gant for draft capital. Nothing imminent yet but I'd encourage anyone to get in an offer soon-ish.

[KW]

Gant and Varnado on the block for draft capital. Love them both but we're moving towards a reset

Gates just helped Memphis get to the finals and nobody wanted to trade for him. If you're a contender, don't make the same mistake with Gant or Varnado!

[KW]

Gant talks continue to swirl

[KW]

Houston looking at a few different ways to move up...

two of: 2037 HOU 1st, #25 this year, Tidjane Salaun

or

package deal for JaKeenan Gant or Jordon Varnado that includes an upcoming pick plus additional assets

---

possibly both???

[KW]

if anyone wants to trade in for the current pick, talk to me ASAP! otherwise I'll pick within 2 hours tops

[KW]

I'll be entertaining S&T offers for RFA Kenny Lofton Jr.

Also have a little over $5M in cap space right now.

[KW]

Kenneth Lofton Jr (13.3/7.7 in 23.7mpg on 58.2 TS% over the last two seasons) is going to have his offer matched in after next sim.

if anybody's interested in acquiring him, we're open to a day 30 trade. The asking price won't be high but we need something for the future

[KW]

If you value Kenny Lofton at anything above just a pure salary dump, come talk to me.

Otherwise, he's being salary dumped for basically zero value and an expiring vet that will be on the fringe of my rotation on Day 30.

[KW]

Also will look to move 1-2 of my guards Trevon Duval, Hassani Gravett, Ashton Hagans (more valued than the others) on day 30

[KW]

Hassani Gravett go bye bye

[KW]

Pivoting from trying to trade Lofton or Gant, and will probably try to save the cash by trading a combo of Maxey/Varnado/Hagans

[KW]

Not trading:
Kobe Brown
Johnny Juzang
Jaxson Hayes

Core pieces, valued but available in the right deal:
Tyrese Maxey
JaKeenan Gant
Cam Reddish
Kenneth Lofton Jr.

Quality role players:
Jordon Varnado
Ashton Hagans
Dzanan Musa
Trevon Duval

Young players I want to try out before giving away:
Craig Porter
Tidjane Salaun
Ajay Mitchell
Dereon Seabron (2W)
Alex Reese (2W)
Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu (TR till sim 30)

[KW]

Received an interesting Maxey offer and he could be on the move

[KW]

Maxey still here. Received an interesting offer for Reddish and he could be on the move instead
