Dash Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress The Houston Rockets have traded Chase Budinger to Minnesota for the #18 pick. Confirmed. Not like it seals a move for Dwight Howard but this makes a move up into the top 8 twice a whole lot easier. I can't believe all it took for a mid first in a stacked draft was Budinger.

DunkinDerozan Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Definitely gaining assets to move into the top 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 26, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Minnesota is going to regret that, when one or two of the better players in the lottery fall. Not a smart trade for the Wolves, at all. Houston is stacking picks. Stole this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Minnesota is going to regret that, when one or two of the better players in the lottery fall. Not a smart trade for the Wolves, at all. Houston is stacking picks. Stole this one. Probably panicked because it didn't appear like either Austin Rivers or Terrence Ross were going to fall to them. I don't doubt Adelman had a lot of say in this trade, he loves Budinger but I thought it would have taken Kevin Martin to get the pick so this is definitely a huge steal by the Rockets. If Dwight Howard isn't the endgame then something big is still going to happen on draft night. No chance Houston makes 3 first round picks.

Warren2ThaG Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Perry Jones will be there at that pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 What a trade for the Rockets. Like Dash said, something is going to happen because Houston isn't going to keep all those picks. Minnesota got ripped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Why would anyone want Chase Budinger? Furthermore why would anyone trade a top 20 pick for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Morey doing work lol great move on our part, terrible move on the Wolves part. I understand why people would want Bud but what I don't understand is what overpay so heavy for him. Regardless thanks Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s.t.a.t. Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Wolves traded to get Budginger basically to free up more cap space more than anything. Budinger making less than 900,00 vs a first round rookie who would make significantly more than that. I am not really on board with this trade but if it means that the wolves will potentially get someone else I am all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YugoRocketsFan Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Some of you people are really clueless, everyone acts as if Chase Budinger was this shitty role player. Dude is definitely a good 6th man, and shooter. Can have games where he scores 20+, 30+. Also has nights where he rebounds very well.

Also has nights where he rebounds very well.Do you remember the game Brian Cook dropped 27/10 on the Rockets, back when the Lakers were a first-round exit? What you said about Chase above...that could have been said about Brian Cook as well. Maybe not 30+ points, because I don't recall Cook ever hitting 30, but Chase has only had two 30+ point games in the three years he has played, while Cook was 1-2 baskets away from a 30 a few times as a Laker. Dragic was your sixth man, by the way. He's a better player than Budinger. Plus, Chandler Parsons just came off of a rookie season where he nearly matched everything Chase did.
