Can someone tell me why we want this guy? And what will it take to get him on the rockets? Genuinely asking
why we want him: excellent perimeter defender, switchable, solid career 3pt shooter
what it will take: knight, a 1st, ????? (maybe a young guy or additional pick)
Sounds like exactly what we need. What are the chances we get him?
i'd say pretty good because it's been a rumored deal all season. morey loves baze. if you remember we offered him the ryno deal first but he took the atl money instead. atl needs to start building for the future and baze is definitely not a part of it. it should happen.

How is he as a slasher? We need guys that can pump fake and get to the rim under control. His 3pt% is a little low (it's possible this improves in our system) and he's undersized. With that contract is he really the best we can get? I suppose he could do well in our system, and next year is his last year so he'd be a good trade asset.
who said slasher? i said switchable
that said, he can get buckets better than anyone else on our wings right now. dude just dropped 32 last night.
forget undersized. he's only 6'5" but he's got a 6'11" wingspan. the second we get him he'll be our starting and best sf.
I was just wondering if you knew how he is as a slasher
Didn't we say Knight was a great pick up, too? We keep saying this or that player is/would be a great pick up - but things (sometimes) manage to be a bust.
But now we have Austin so it should be even more apparent why Knight is a trade piece. We get Bazemore, we become better than last year regardless of record.
You think Baze is enough to put us above our team last year?
i never said knight was anything more than trade flexibility and if he ever gave us good minutes that would be a bonus
He was a great pickup because his contract is slightly better than Ryan Anderson's.
baze is killing it rn on the hawks

Morey has been eyeing him for a long time. I'm sure his playstyle is favorable on the analytical side. Based on eye test he seems like a good fit for us. Athletic 3D wing
