Houston After Sap As Well?

Houston would be a good fit for both Sap and the team and since Ömer Aşık starts for the Rockets, I would love to watch them together. I also see Sap as if he wants away from SLC since the start of the season. I've emphasized that idea a couple of times now. So Sap might feel better in there as far as I can think of. I think Millsap is an underrated player. And he has a few more good basketball years before his fuel runs out. And I also think, probably this season, he will be traded elsewhere. If that's Houston, I'm happy for both. It's not that bad, after all we have Favors and Kanter here. Let Kanter shoot 3 pt'ers and we will have fun time watching these guys.
 
Moteijunas or Jones (personally i prefer D-Mo) & Royce White (looks like he has no future in Rockets after all that drama, maybe wont have in another team too but its worth give it a try) for Milsap. They have no 1st round draft picks so no picks including. I dont think they'll give up on Parsons for an about to finish contract.
 
If Millsap ends up a Rocket, Laker or Nugget than he is dead to me.

Houston in my mind is the most likely to sign him in the of season. Would fit their system well, and could play him a bit over market value.

I still have a hard time thinking Houston would trade for him when they can very easily pick him up in the offseason.

for whatever reason I still think the Lakers and nuggets won't want Millsap long term.

I still think there's a slight chance to trade could happened with the Lakers for Gasol.

I'm not sure about Houston's salary situation, but certainly if they are close to the tax level, that could be a large factor. It also makes a difference in who you have to send out in return. Houston might find it easier to find $8M in salary to send than $14M.
 
Well if the rockets want to sign him in the offseason then a trade is a good option because they would also have his bird rights which means they could offer a little more then anyone else. Houston would also have to get rid of some of their bigs and a trade would make that happen.

"Millsap is not as flashy as Josh Smith but he definitely feels a hole in the Rockets lineup. The Jazz need help at point guard and would like some more young talent to add to their roster. The Rockets could offer the Jazz Toney Douglas and any of the four power forwards on their roster. I think the Jazz would be very much intrigued by this offer and would think long and hard about it."

I can't believe no one commented on this. Read the line above again. "definitely FEELS a HOLE in the Rockets". I am rather uncomfortable with Millsap FEELING anyone's hole but ours.
