Houston sending Robert Covington to Portland for Trevor Ariza, a 2020 1st, and a 2021 protected 1st.
Houston starting to break it down.

Shams Charania is reporting Jrue Holiday is heading to Milwaukee for Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, three firsts and two pick swaps.
That's quite a price for Holiday.

I have wanted Covington for five years. Don't know how many times I've said it on this site.
CHAMPIONSHIP!
Sign Robin Lopez and a Veteran PG with the MLE and Vet Min and the building blocks are all in place.

Btw, Ariza can be bought out for about $2M on a team option.

So many players are available for Portland to fill the backup Center and backup PG positions (although they went into last season without one, which was a mistake as Simons flopped in that role). Heck, Covington can run point.

Man, I hope I can get a vaccine by the time the playoffs start and get to go to the games.

Why did Robert Covington cost 2 first round picks? His stats aren’t that great, I don’t get it?
What would you say.....ya do here?

This is a weak draft so Portland’s #16 could probably be valued around what would be an early to mid 20s pick in a normal draft. The 2021 pick has protections that have not yet been announced. Also Covington is one of the most underrated players in the league. He’s really good for a player that has never been even remotely considered a star.
