Thomas Robinson got traded cause he sucks. He can hustle and rebound but that's it. He's a 3 year college player who struggled as a backup. Bad sign long-term.
Glad to see Robinson in a better situation now. Damn the Rockets made out big to get a talent like that without giving up much of consequence.

Thanks dJohn2008 and Kai,seemed like too big in a drop off in talent to me but looking at his assist numbers for GS, Sac and Por games seems like he's okay. Though it may also be a matter of teams needing to adjust to him.
I'm excited about the Morris twins on the same team haha
He's improved his game a bit. He went overseas earlier in the season and was the Eurocup MVP.
surprised they didn't procure one more
Rockets have enough cap room and roster spots (thanks to the Morris trade) to absorb Rip Hamilton. Apparently Chicago and Houston have had ongoing negotiations. His salary is only guaranteed $1 mil next year and can be prorated to $333 k over the next 3 years. If Chicago is willing to throw a first round pick at us to take him off their hands (getting them under the LT apron), it'd be a pretty decent haul for Morey.
T-Robs okay. Only just beaten by those Kentucky wonder kids. Lacks an inch but you get him out of Sac and into Texas and watch him improve.
He'll probably be a better finisher at the P&R than Asik is. Expect Lin's and Harden's assists to slightly increase.
Great pickup, I like Robinson
What the Kings ?
Marcus will start and embarrass Markieff. The Suns will kick out Markief in the NEAR future
If I'm the Rockets, I do everything I can to get Tony Allen and Josh Smith to Houston in the off season. A couple all-defensive players to add to Asik to hopefully compensate for Lins horrible D.
What
Lin's better on D than O tbh.
Fortunately you ain't the Rocket. They need Lin for their ticket selling.
BTW, Lin plays much better now.
Lin got benched in the 4th quarter against Chicago because he was getting abused by Nate Robinson.
What did Robinson do that Sscramento soured on him so fast?
Absolutely nothing...that's a problem.
Why this trade happen ? I do undestand Rockets position, but I am pretty sure that wasnt their call to make. I mean, Robinson was 5th pick 8 months ago ? Dont know this dude, but they even didnt give him a full year to develop. Patterson is good player, but still...
Way under salary cup, Garcia is TO, so basiclly he could be gone. 2nd round pick is going to be 35 at worst. New managment didnt like to have 5th pick on rookie scale for next 3 seasons ? Or this er Cousins had something to do with this call ?
i don't understand it, if they traded for t-rob with asik, then that's a bad fit, neither has any offensive game two feet away from the rim, if they intend to go small ball with t-rob being asik's backup, then i'm assuming it's to play royce at pf but again, no offensive game and also another player that needs the ball in his hands, so another bad fit... i'm hoping they play parsons at pf and delfino at sf for now, it seems like the best fit for a lightning fast team but i have no idea how will parsons adapt, also it is a questionable move to make a young player adapt again just when he found his role.. Delfino is really not suited for the pf job and D-Mo is perhaps the only fit that makes sense, but doesn't defend at all.. i don't know, more moves may be coming..
Basically t-rob played like he was Thabeet without his length and D.. Can only score on dunks and can't shoot ft, just another example of overating a big man for some supposed defensive presence only shown against childs.. He's been a bust, really...
Bad pick followed by bad trade. Nothing better to expect from Kings anyways
basically what the kings expect from t-rob is for him to become what patterson has been this year, so they are simply taking the finished product, while hoping PP is a bit faster.. however, i don't see how could the kings pass on him with the fifth pick, he has really really been overated by scouts, another reason why i never believe draft boards when it comes to bigs
I expected Drummond to be bust, be truly, he is good player.
David Aldridge ✔ @daldridgetnt ICYMI: Told unequivocally that the Rockets will NOT flip Thomas Robinson in any trade scenario. Team "loves" him, per source.
