First off, he's a free agent at the end of the season, so he'd b a rental. But maybe he'd re-sign at the end of the season.. who knows.

Does this make the Rockets better? Who would they trade?

Montrezl Harrell, Sam Dekker, KJ McDaniels, and Corey Brewer are the obvious choices. They have their picks as well to trade.

The team has played really well this season so I'd be really hesitant to screw anything up and have to give up young and promising players... but this is enticing.

Something around Harrell I am guessing.

I really like Harrell and he's only going to get better, but he's undersized and so he can only be used for certain match-ups.

But yeah, Harrell would seem to be the most likely candidate.

Would hate to see him go b/c he brings a toughness to the Rox that no one else have (Beverly excluded).

Is it really going to matter? They aren't close to the top teams in the league in terms of talent anyway. Is Ibaka really the guy who is going to put them over the top?

Really don't like the idea of losing Harrell or Dekker, but I'd probably get over it after this deal. This significantly elevates our title hopes this year.

Even if what you say about the talent was true, what does that have to do with improving the team by adding more talent?

Your point makes no sense and was just a way for you to shite talk.

I mean, shite.

Harrell is my dude and I think I might like Dekker just as much. Brewer isn't trash now?

How's Ibaka doing this year? He ain't signing with Orlando next year so I guess trading is the right thing?

They are gonna make the WCF and lose to GSW with or without Ibaka so you probably have a good point.

East:
Cleveland

West:
Golden State
San Antonio
Houston

Close enough for me, and I think the Rockets are better and more talented than the Spurs.

I wouldn't give up a lot for him but if you can get a decent deal then he would be a good addition.

You got that right, and their coach has seen better days as well. Outcoached by Rivers and Donovan the last 2 postseasons.

Out coached by Donovan is not to bad , but being out coached by Rivers in unacceptable.

If the Rockets can get the Serge that will play in the paint and protect the rim like he used to do with OKC, I can see that helping them

If he is just going to play on the outside what is the point.

Hijack. Just lol at how wrong you were about Korver. In the last 9 or so games he's score 20+ twice (only did it once with ATL this season), double digits 6 times and shooting 60% from 3. He's also been a solid team defender. Currently has 29 points on 8/9 3s. Lol End hijack

Ironic that the OKC decline happened when they decided to pay Ibaka instead of Harden.
