^exactly. It's a miracle we were able to get ANYTHING in return for Terry. Especially when every other team's GM knew that Terry wouldn't play for us

Lol....there are more second rounders that don't pan out than make it....way more. Go ahead and cherry pick the few that make it...lol.

Maybe we have a different definition of "score". I swear I've seen everyone of them score, well except for Nik, but I'm confident he'll be just fine. There's nothing that Terry would give us that the others won't. Yeah, maybe the veteran stuff, but I'm not quite sure about that either
And as it seems, the most useful thing he contributes is to make room for further moves.
When we made the trade, his value was never about playing, it was about being a smaller expiring to move than MT. Having to include 2 picks (that are of course worthless to people once we move them, instead of being valuable if we got them), isn't a good return.
UNLESS there is a plan to spend it on something more useful this year. If not we just moved an expiring deal and 2 likely high second rounders for nothing.
Agreed. Yet they still have value. Including them to move an expiring deal is a concern unless they have a plan for those dollars.

This is not Jason Terry the "Jet" running back from sinking a three on the Championship Mavs. This is 37 year old lost a couple steps Jason Terry.
If serious, we are trading jet plus 2 2nds for a few unguaranteed deals that will be cut, thus freeing a roster spot and some salary.

We paid to get rid of him.
Yes. To the people suggesting he had value on the court for us, try again. My concern is the value of the assets used and gained not jets impact playing hoops.
From Yahoo sports
The Rockets will send a package centered on non-guaranteed contracts, including Alonzo Gee, that the Kings can ultimately waive and gain salary savings and roster space, league sources said. Sacramento will send Houston two second-round picks in the deal, including one via the Knicks, league sources told Yahoo. The trade could take some time to officially complete, based on restrictions of contracts in the deal, league sources said.
Sacramento had been trying to unload Terry and his $5.4 million expiring deal, and Houston had been searching for a playoff-sturdy guard to join its bench.

Well, I will wait to hear the details before I get concerned.

This one says the Kings will receive 2 2nd rounders?

So they get Terry and we get two second rounders? Hrm. Not bad.

You realize we are just dumping the salary of a guy we were going to have to buy out otherwise?
Interesting how POV's differ. Looks like most Rocket fans aren't that impressed with the deal, with the most common comment being that Terry has nothing left in the tank...

His source is Jon Feigan of the Houston Chronicle. If you look directly at Jon's twitter you can see he clearly says multiple times that Houston will receive the two second rounders from the Kings.

Looking at the numbers I would say we just got an exciting Alonzo Gee/Scotty Hopson package
Terry = $5.45mil
Gee = $3.25mil
Hopson = $2.45mil
Gee might have some use, and in particular as a Williams or McLemore replacement. Very athletic and will try on defense. Just can't shoot/dribble.
Know little about Hopson.
You have to continue to look at all of these odd piles of people we are stacking in corners from the perspective of some eventual move where we will end up sans Williams, Ben, a PF, some, or all.
P.S. BTW to whoever was whining about Cisco still, would LOVE to have him back. Veteran leader who shoots and has a good relationship with Cuz? yes please. Perfect end of bencher.

Yes, and if we have to give up 2 2nd rounders to waive a guy, that does have value, I will consider it a fail. If we get two 2nd rounders, I think a good deal was made.
We are giving the picks.

I would think we would be giving away not taking since we are possibly dumping $5+mil in salary.

A quick investigation of who Hopson is:
http://search.draftexpress.com/profile/Scotty-Hopson-1323/
especially with various GMs calling him delusional and him saying in his interview that he wants to be the greatest player in the history of the NBA...I'm thinking Gee might have a chance if there is a trade. but Hopson could be waived to get back his salary money, which might free us to start signing some of those 20 guys out there we are supposed to be interested in.

likely the picks as much as anything. But they have been looking for a backup PG, and likely like the idea of another veteran chucker. pretty sure Morey gets all sweaty and starts rubbing himself against things whenever he sees something else that chucks out there and available.
